    Discussion of ‘Exit’ by Belinda Bauer.

    Oh dear, where to start? It’s always good to read an unfamiliar author but Belinda Bauer hasn’t inspired me to seek out more of her work. I didn’t hate this book, it jogged along quite nicely because it’s a bit quirky, undemanding, and potentially humorous. It’s an easy read and sometimes that’s enough. But I’m afraid that on this occasion I found it distinctly lacking. The whole story was utterly far-fetched, the characters had potential but were undeveloped. I just couldn’t take it seriously and the humour didn’t reach me either. But always good to try a new author! Bauer is extremely popular and has won literary prizes so maybe I’m just hard to please. Over to you…

This group is for people who like to read a book and discuss it with others. We will choose a book each month from titles suggested by members of the group. We will then return for an on-line discussion at a pre selected date which will be 6 weeks later. Important that we suggest books which are readily available, not too expensive, and not too long.

** Please note that this is a book discussion group. Business posts will not be accepted and members posting these will be removed from the group. SO PLEASE NO ADVERTISING.
