State of the Union

Here are the notes for what people thought of this book

Predictable yet strangley compelling,
like Neighbours
Considering the severity of events the characters did not act in a beliveable way
Margy has been in 100 films
Nice ending

I chatted to Lorraine about the book because she had heroically read the whole thing. The plot as it developed made me laugh out loud. I dont think I have ever heard anything more outrageous or ludicrous. To cap it all there wasnt a single beautiful paragraph or sentence in all the part I read. To be frank it was just plain ugly. It doesnt really matter - there are far more important things in life, however there are alot of fine writers out there who really know what they are doing and dont prostitute themselves for the maximum economic return. I salute them and shall devote myself to reading their work.
