Everyone who’s seen this book in my handbag or has heard I’m reading it has been raving about it, it’s definitely a book I read because of recommendations, because other than that not a lot drew me to it. But the recommend-ers were right 🙂

I definitely had a few issues with it, it runs as a series of lots of separate events and stories, but dips in and out of some and comes back to them, but only once you’ve forgotten what on earth was happening, which left me a tad confused. The other thing that confused me was how similar all the names were, but I guess maybe that was a more cultural thing? It just meant that when those characters popped up again later it took me a while to work out who they were.

All that said, it was very enjoyable, fairly light and an easy read. And master of the multi-sell, the last page definitely left me wanting to read the next one at some point (and the next one has giraffe in the title, which will nearly always win me over!). There are a tonne of books in this series, so it definitely won’t happen in one go what with my current to-read list, but I would definitely continue, so I guess that’s another recommendation for you right there!
