Boring and unconvincing - Rated
I struggled to finish this book, having become increasingly bored by the unlikely scenarios and improbable characters. If this book surprises it is by the very implausibility of the plot.
The leading couple, one of whom is called Horatio, the other has already escaped me, annoyed me from the start by naming their son Superman and by earning a living from helping illegal immigrants. The others just annoyed me. They are all even more one dimensional than soap characters and that's saying something.
I am one of those people who would read the cereal packet or sauce bottle in the absence of anything else, and I suppose this is marginally preferable to one of those options, but only just!
Great title, shame about the story - Rated
Boring, unconvincing charecters, Daffy was so wet you wanted to wring her neck and someone like thaat could never have even started to get a rundown hotel going, especially when she knew no French, let alone made it sucessful, Lady Emma Rankin, femme fatale, apparently perfectly content to be in the middle of nowhere in her huge castle, as if, and the other married couple, so dire that I've forgotten their names with their pointlessly brilliant children (are we really expected to believe that a five year old who can multiply fractions in his head would be happy in kindergarten in a rural French village? or that his parents would have put him there?) The loathesome guests were completely overdrawn too. Oh, and the plot was ludicrous. Really, don't bother with this one.
