1 out of 5 stars Total cheese-fest   July 3, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

This book is cliche, boring, badly written and strained.

The "twist" is painfully obvious from about the thrid page.

It's so corny it actually contains the words: "They told me I had TB, but I knew I was dying of a broken heart" - isn't that a line from The Simpsons?

The love stories are utterly unbeleiveable.

There's nothing redeeming at all about this book



5 out of 5 stars A beautiful book   June 29, 2008
I am just echoing what previous people have said. Random acts is a truly beautiful debut novel and I was hooked from the first page. Definitely recommended!


5 out of 5 stars Stick with it   June 23, 2008
I loved this book. It laboured a little at times but stick with it and you will be well rewarded. OK a little quirky at times but so is the distraught Leo and even though the "surprise" is visible a mile off, the journey is wonderful. A lovely and unusual book.


2 out of 5 stars Disappointing   June 15, 2008
 1 out of 3 found this review helpful

I couldn't get into this book at all. Gave up one third of way through & glad I did. I thought the beginning was excellent, concerning Eleni & what happened to her but then went downhill fast. It just didn't hold my interest. I thought all those pictures of animals & sayings extemely annoying!


4 out of 5 stars So good, I've written my first review...   June 9, 2008
This book is a stonker. The emotional description starts off fairly crudely and feels laboured, but is quickly replaced by a story that embraces the reader. Two tales of love, weaved brilliantly together and written in a way that managed something rare - to bring a brief tear to my eyes. Absolutely brilliant.
