"Characters you will care about, where the stench and lack of empathy, hallmarks of the 18th Century are so vivid, a modern classic....... yes Ingenious Pain (Andrew Miller) is the place to go."
"Ah yes, another book from the kings new clothes school of humour (see Catch 22) there's an occasional glimpse...Ignatius Reilly's attempted coup of Levy Pants is one, but overall readers......AVOID!!!"
"Booker Prize winner so approach with caution. Recently widowed Max Morden returns to a sea side town searching for something/ someone from his childhood and fails..................yes it is that good"
"The prose (apparantly) is written in such a way as to make the reader feel as helpless as Josef K. Well Franz...............................SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
