Product Description

HEAT, 9-15 August 08

'Darkly funny and even shocking at times, this is a holiday read that'll snap you out of your poolside doziness and have you shaking your head in disbelief. In a good way.'

Product Description

What did I know about life, a wee heifer like me, a twenty two year old no mates stay at home from the rump end of Cubernauld? What did I even know about sex, never mind drugs, or violence, or murder? Alison, an innocent Scottish girl, moves to Barcelona and meets Chloe, a not so innocent American heiress. Chloe as well as introducing Alison to a multitude of sins, teaches her new friend about the sweet taste of revenge. Throwing off her Presbyterian morality (and hopefully her embarrassing virginity), Alison begins a sex and drugs romp through the gothic streets of Bacelona, while sending vengeful postcards home...Dear Lisa and Lauren, Chloe and I on beach with beautiful Latino boys, wow! Need to buy new clothes, size twelve way too big now! Suppose you'll be watching Emmerdale. Hope cystitis not causing you too much agony. Alison xxx.

3.0 out of 5 stars ** Had Potential but ran out of Steam ***, 8 Oct 2008
This book was recommended to me so I thought I would give it a go. Initially it is gripping and entices you to want to read on. The thing I liked about it most was that the story was articulated in such a way that if I put the book down and went back to it a day or 2 later I would remember where I left off and what the current scenario was about, which I thought was good so more better reading to come...or so I thought.

As with the other reviewers, once you're over the half way mark in the book its like it loses steam or the momentum has slowed as if the author has got to a point where they were unsure which direction to take the story. So after much crying, much blurting of the hearts yada yada yada, as I was nearing the end all I thought I was "I'm going back to reading Belle De Jour or Hunter S Thompson books..lol" I totally lost interest at the end, just as well as the ending of the story is a bit bizarre, although I can see how the author was trying to create the irony of how the 2 main characters turned out 10 years later.

Is it worth a read? Probably, but its not one for keeping on the shelf, once you've read it, sell it on or give it to someone else. You'll just be glad you've moved on to your next book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable read , 6 Sep 2008
By Ms. Laura E. Marshall (Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found this book easy to read and finished it in about 2 days, It was pretty gripping but it did get quite repetitive- the characters end up crying and spilling their hearts out an awful lot! However I did enjoy reading it, and it made me laugh a few times although the ending was a bit weird !

Started off as a great read, I couldn't put it down and was desperate to know what happened next. However after the initial two thirds of the book the last third of the book... Read more
