A good holiday listen

What did you like best about The Best of Times? What did you like least?

This book is an interesting read as there are so many characters lives that you get wrapped up in. It is fast paced in the fact that you will be constantly switching back and forth between the characters, which keeps the plot moving along at a nice rate. There is also quite a range of emotions to go through while the author explores issues of life and death, old love and new love, friendship and family, ambitions and goals, and the list goes on. There isn't much time to get bored with the book, but at times you may find yourself trying to jog your memory as to what last happened with a particular character.

Enid Blyton for adults

From a setup scenario with potential for so much more depth and complexity, it disappears into a series of romances and comfortable endings that put me in mind of the clichéd high school essay conclusion: "They all went home tired but happy".

Great book
