This may be a short post, for a change!
Uhm … I’m all caught up now, thanks to the Weekly Geeks. I finished … four? books. Yes. Four. Two Agatha Christies; 1984 and Certain Girls.
So I did them as three separate posts and they’re out there for all Weekly Geekers to see.
The hardest one to review was 1984; it’s just so well-written, and so full of ideas, and a terrifying vision of how the future could have been. The easiest were the Agatha Christies, just because I love her novels so much. And the most fun was Certain Girls; a sequel to Good in Bed. I enjoyed reading that one so much I’d be sitting at work itching to get home to it _ the best kind of book. :)
I hope all you other Weekly Geekers have had a great week. :)

I liked 1984, which is weird cos I usually hate sad endings. I guess that's a sign of a really good book. It's nice to be able to appreciate references to Big Brother and newspeak etc. too. =)
ReplyDeleteI read 1984 long time back, before 1984! I don't remember it. Might as well re-read!

I think the scariest thing about it is how it hasn't dated at all. It's still very relevant.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about 1984 still being so relevant. Some of the middle of the book dragged for me but it was certainly worth reading.
