Book group chat - 'Hunting Unicorns'

Recommended Posts

Chat here about this book by Bella Pollen.

I was unable to get it for my Kindle,so haven't read this one :?

 

The book for November is the amazing 'The Poisonwood Bible' by Barbara Kingsolver,which is a long & pretty complex read.

Bearing that in mind,& given that its a busy time of year,I am going to think about giving us until January 1st to read this one,& we will chat about it in the new year...what do you think?

Well I've just finished reading Hunting Unicorns, I quite enjoyed it. Its a light 'fluffy' read but for some reason it took me ages to get into it. I'm not sure that I really believed in some of the characters although I liked Rory and his parents, barking mad aristocracy. If you've ever watched any of these fly on the wall programmes where they look at stately homes and what goes on in the background then you'll recognise it in the book.

 

I think I'd have preferred it if they went more into depth with the 3 main characters and perhaps made it slightly longer as I was just left a bit disappointed. :roll:

I've only just finished reading Dissolution... I really enjoyed it, and I can say without a doubt that it is not my usual sort of read, so thanks AJuff for suggesting it..... As I am so far behind, I will probably skip straight to the Poisonwood Bible...I remember a friend of mine raving about that one some years ago, so I'm very overdue to read it..... January sounds great to me too...

Took me a while to get properly engrossed in 'Hunting Unicorns' - to start with it was a pleasant enough read, but not really gripping. I got more interested once Rory's parents appeared in the story - thought they were great characters. From there on I really enjoyed it, though I felt it was a bit predictable in places.
