5.0 out of 5 stars
Uniquely Uplifting!,
This review is from: Striking Poses (Paperback)
The only drawback of Kate THompson's novels is that they end at somepoint! I have given this book 5 stars and deservedly so. I am a big fan ofthe 'chick-lit' genre but its lovely to get a hold of something a littlemeatier and edgier. Kate Thompson's novels are always based in one way oranother in the creative world and Aphrodites world in 'Striking Poses' istypical of this.I always feel after reading one of her books that i've hada pleasant cultural injection! It's a world most of us know little aboutand the best way to find out is to devour anything this woman writes.Sassy, funny, brilliant...5 stars.

Ultimately Uplifting,
This review is from: Striking Poses (Paperback)
Another cracker from Kate Thompson, this woman can do no wrong. the current market is flooded with 'chick-lit' and while i'm a fan its great to read something with more of an edge, deeper rather than frivolous. What i loved about Striking Poses is that it really appeals to the senses, both dialogue and story are flowing and as usual after reading one of Kate Thompsons i'm left feeling sated and elated, and also like i've had a bit of culture injected. The main character Aphrodite is very likeable and i loved her almost as much as i hated Jolie ( the 'other' woman). Kate Thompsons novels are from another world,a very creative one which i know little about and the only way to find out is to devour anything she writes...full marks.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Engrossing and very well written,
This review is from: Striking Poses (Paperback)
Striking Poses is the third Kate Thompson book I've read and personally, I think she's getting better with each one. I love her style of writing - it is so different to most of the other Irish writers around (although I love those too!) but she has a lovely elegant style to her prose and the characters in her stories are more upmarket than what we usually find in this type of novel - and their names - so glamorous! I really enjoyed Striking Poses, the main character Aphrodite(great name!)was particularly likeable, as was the photographer Jack. Where this author really shines though, is in her portrayal of the bitchy characters. You can tell she's really enjoying writing those, which make them all the more enjoyable to read. Well done Kate Thompson - yet another excellent novel.
