Really quite true-I have a back log piling up but it's much nicer than having a back log of paperwork or 'orrible jobs. Lots to read. Just finished Melvin Burgess who is a thought provoking writer for the teenage market predominantly. I do agree with Philip Pullman when he says no such things as children's stories they are good stories full stop BUT obviously content means they're not suitable for ever age sometimes. This is one of those.
It's a disturbing read. You do want to read on certainly but with an increasing sense of foreboding. It's a story highlighting our obsession with celebrity culture and looking great. It's a story relevant more perhaps now than ever before and it's worth reading. I can't say you'll feel uplifted when you've finished. You might even feel more confused. However, it's worth a read but be warned...it's not a cosy one!
