2.0 out of 5 stars Sorry - I just didn't like it, 19 Aug 2008
I have enjoyed several books by this author but found Adverbs a bit of a let-down.

4.0 out of 5 stars A really cute read, 28 Nov 2007
By WA Flewitt (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Adverbs (Paperback)
I never usually describe books as being 'cute', but this is one I really had to. Full of lots of different short stories, that are all linked somewhere along the line, this book is guaranteed to make you smile. Whilst some of the stories can be a little slow, there are a few that really touch you and make you think. Well worth a read.
