Review:
This is my second Patrick Gale book - my first was 'A Sweet Obscurity'. I began to feel quite annoyed with that one as I neared the end. I try not to judge a book by its cover though (pardon the pun) so thought I'd give him a go again. Unfortunately the annoyance began about 20 pages in with this one, but I like to see things through so I persevered. What a bunch of self-satisfied, smug characters. Yes I know they are meant to irk one a little, but really. There seemed to be no real 'feeling', a lack of responsibility from the characters themselves regarding their actions. It felt like a very staged, self-conscious book. Maybe the author is not a fan of children - as with Dido in A Sweet Obscurity, Iras is too precocious to be warmed to. Jasper, who is admittedly a handful, is treated with contempt by many of the characters when to me he is the more reasonable of the two children. Yet nobody stands up for him. The whole book just felt wrong, forced and I really did not like it. Maybe I am a masochist but I am tempted to try another Patrick Gale to see if this pattern continues.
