5.0 out of 5 stars Isabel Matthews, 14 April 2009
By Isabel Matthews (Hertfordshire) - See all my reviews
I've enjoyed reading all of Sophie King's novels so far, and `The Supper Club' proved to be no exception.

There are four main female characters. Each chapter is told from a different point of view, in turn.

Let me point out here that the characters are so well written and so easily distinguishable, that I found it wasn't a problem at all to immediately establish the character viewpoint for each new chapter.

These ladies and their partners meet for dinner at each other's houses once a month. The dinner parties themselves are very entertaining and in-between parties there's plenty of juicy story-line.

Sophie's characters are very believable. Many times I found myself nodding in agreement with their opinions and feeling empathy for their situations. There are enough surprises and cliff-hangers in this book to keep you turning the page. I often promised myself late at night that I'd definitely stop reading at the end of the chapter, only to find I was completely unable to do so!

Sophie tells an amusing and heartfelt story. I would definitely recommend this book.

I've just purchased her latest book, 'The Wedding Party' and I can't wait to get reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such a delicious read - almost edible!, 1 Jul 2009
By K. Harvey "allykatharvey" (Dorset UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had read half of this book before I knew it. Honest, funny and terrific storytelling! Sophie King has a charming way of imparting wisdom without pretention. The menus for each of the monthly supper parties arranged by Lucy, a widowed mother hoping to integrate her the new love in her life with friends and family, are given just to add colour and flavour to the chaotic relationships of the guests. Four couples, an ex-mother-in-law, several unpredictable children, a lost lover, a mad father, jealous sisters, a furious abandoned wife and a dog addicted to Brie cheese all clamour within these lively pages for your attention!

This book bubbles with warmth and good humour in spite of the events which seem to turn everyone's world upside down, solutions are found, angers released and forgiven and .... yes, this is an almost perfect piece of escapism! Well worth a few hours of your time!
