Polly Clarke From the very first page, I can tell this is going to be a special one. Hope to read over the weekend.

Topazriver, I suspect you will not be disappointed! Won't say any more.


Trine (majjalol) | 203 comments Atm on page 100/260ish, and I find it a bit... dull;o Guess I am more into books with a liitle more speed!
Loving the language though - and the conversations!


Seraphina | 100 comments I loved this book, loved the conversational pieces, loved the overall moral tale. And the ending couldn't have ended any other way, it just topped it all off perfectly

Tytti | 494 comments I read this last summer, mainly as a "light" beach read. Well the paperback was light to carry. I didn't like it as much as I would have hoped.


Nikki Mcgee | 209 comments I am absolutely loving this it has all my the ingredients of a good book. I am particarly enjoying the Plato influences


Debbie (debbiegregory) | 585 comments I'm going to skip this book as I read it quite recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's an incredible story with very complex characters and a moral thread that continues throughout. Enjoy x


Ruth | 28 comments I just started reading this today, so I am hoping I will have it finished by the 31st ! I think I may have started it years ago... I am quite familiar with other Wilde works. It's interesting to see all the well know quotes cropping up in this novel.
This is also on my FULL DECK Challenge :)


Jason (jasondenness) | 1877 comments About to start this book, if it ever starts that is. Finally made it through the epic Introduction and now there is an artist's preface.... hurry up and bring on the "Zombie-Monkeys"...I assume this is what the book is about, not read the blurb yet.

Ana (404-equivalent) Haha Jason, your comments always crack me up. :D I hope you enjoy the book.

I've read it last year I think and really enjoyed it. I didn't mind the slower parts, the descriptions are beautiful. :)
