182.Birdsong by: Sebastian Faulks May 06, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.13
Took this book on a recent 7 day holiday - it looked my sort of stuff. Read about 40% of it then tossed it onto the holiday home library shelf and selected the best of what had been left. Birdsong is tedious and poorly written. The characters are not engaging - it's just not worth the eye power in reading it. A bit like the movie "Atonement" - it's not unpleasant, you could watch it, it will do no harm but there are many far far better films. Birdsong is touted as a modern classic - it is no such thing.

185.Paperweight by: Stephen Fry October 18, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
This book is collection of a wealth of essays, reviews, radio sketches and other oddments from various sources, so inevitably is something of a mixed bag. The majority of the pieces - including the fictionalised ramblings of The Liar's Professor Trefusis - take the form of short essays where Fry bemoans the state of society, both here and abroad. What saves these pieces from becoming tiresome is that Fry's observations (or, to put it more bluntly - moans) are wrapped up in both his ironic humour and an invigorating prose driven by his love of words. There is one slight problem with reading the pieces en masse however, and that is that Fry does have a tendencies to repeat his favourite anecdotes, arguments, and jokes - sometimes variations of ...

a great book ---- a great read ---- I loved it ---- but 2 reviews on the cover say that it's 'funny' (one says 'hilarious') All I can say is that the Irish must have a very strange sense of humour --- there were moments of irony, but most of the story is tragic and gloomy ---- however it's worth the effort ---- I'll definitely read it again ---but I don't think it'll make me laugh.
