For the Ladies only

Mr T is selling them two for £7 or £3.86 each and as they say every little helps

Mr Kandy tried downloading them on to my Tab last week but was having problems, so have got him to buy me them from Mr T's.I have only just started book 1 and up to yet i have found the writing to be good but havn't got to the best bits yet

 

I am not sure I could be bothered. There has been so much said about them that it is difficult to decide whether I should be bothered or not. I really like historical/quest type novels if I read fiction otherwise it is personal life stories that appeal. The last book I read was so good I read it twice, it is a true life story of a hungarian immigrant who came to England in 1956 and tells of his life during the war years and the subsequent civil war against communism until his escape to England and then his struggle in life since then todate. I have met the Author and he is a fascinating man who carries no hardness or bitterness of his struggle and makes us ladies on the saga zone laugh at every opportunity. His name is Tom Tottis and I can recommend his book called A Long Look Back. It is available for download as an e-book if anyone is interested in historical novels.

 

Hmmm. Not much in the way of filth, then.

 

Well he didn't leave his love life out of his book! Very honest about his teenage angst at dating and fumbling his way through those teenage years and then getting involved with an older lady etc. It's a lovely honest book.

Sorry clare thought you were refering to my last post which I now see you weren't!

 

The only real selling point of FSOG seems to be its filth content. No one is reading it for the masterly prose. Merleworld - re: your friend telling you she's reading it for the love story, not the smut. Yeah right. Just like all those men who are going to be glued to the Olympic Women's Beach Volley Ball simply because they are lovers of the sport.

 

Why the hell are publishers dumbing down, is that so it can match the rubbish educational grades this country is achieving these days. It is certainly a sad state of affairs when many a good author goes unpublished for want of a fair chance. God save us from those in position to choose our current literature. I can see maybe a situation where a publisher may give an author suffering from Downs a chance to publish if the story is good and honest and makes grammatical sense but to allow someone falling far short of quality writing is deplorable.

Reminds me of the sort of things as kids we used to write when going through adolescence and trying to prove to our fellow adolescents how grown up we were!? In fact one piece I wrote was so convincing that after the teachers had pieced it all together from the scraps it had been torn into before being confiscated they asked me to assure them it was all fiction!!! and did I really write it because it was well ahead of my years, then about 13 or 14, I think. Wish I had kept a copy might have been worth publishing if the FSOG is anything to go by! Still without having read FSOG perhaps I shouldn't critiscise.
