OK. Don’t panic. Yes I’m further behind but I was expecting that. I only managed an hour last night. What’s slightly more worrying is that I’m only averaging less than 40 pages/hour. I guess that might be because I’m tired. All the more reason to make sure I don’t miss the lunchtime slots.
I am enjoying the book. It’s more violent than I remember. Having said I deliberately chose a ‘boy’s book’ I should say I don’t normally read thrillers or crime novels. I bought it originally for the author. But the humour keeps me going. One of the questions that keeps coming back to Lang is “Are you a good man?” He just killed 3 people escaping a kidnap. Oh and a character has just been introduced who will become my favourite character if I remember her correctly. Although I’m hoping by the time I write again that I’ll be on to Harry Potter.
