A gas,
By Sue K (Sutton Coldfield) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Dangerous Sports Euthanasia Society (Transita) (Paperback)
I took Dangerous Sports on holiday. It came back to UK with me well thumbed and embelished with splodges of wine and suncream after 3 in our party read it in the space of a few days. We all found it an excellent read. It was fun to follow the adventures and transformation of Agnes from a depressed, rather repressed, trapped 75 year old to a very whacky, vibrant, physically, emotionally and socially adventurous woman, capable of so much. The plot motors along at a good lick, fuelled by a fair number of implausible cooincidences, but somehow that doesn't seem to matter. I recognised many aspects (not all them of them so attractive!) of myself in most of the characters Agnes encounters en route. I live in Sutton Coldfield so also enjoyed the recognition of familiar places ...in fact I am sure I live right next door to Dianne Lockett, Lucy's mother!

dangerous sports euthanasia,

This review is from: The Dangerous Sports Euthanasia Society (Transita) (Paperback)
What a super read this was. I really enjoyed all the characters, you could relate to them all along the way and it gives you hope for staying young and enjoying life to the full even as you get older. In fact I think its since I've read the book that I really would like to retire now to have time to undertake all these 'dangerous' sports that we don't have time for whilst we are working.

Couldn't put it down,
By Mungo (Surrey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Dangerous Sports Euthanasia Society (Transita) (Paperback)
Absolutely brilliant. I really could not put it down. Totally rivetting and a lovely read. One reviewer complained about the co-incidences. I can tell you that they do happen in real life. Christine's characters & co-incidences are totally believeable. For me the story was a lovely reminder of what can happen and how life can unfold in remarkable ways -- IF you have time to let it happen.
