It's the technique of switching between seemingly unrelated characters that intrigued me in the KA crime novels. Interesting how all these titles relate to the importance of creating a strongly believable world for the reader. <BR/><BR/>I will now try and believe in "Potato Peel Pie", a potential recipe suggestion that had put me off the book.Penny Dolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16386668303428008498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-79296818167522695162009-03-01T11:15:00.000+00:002009-03-01T11:15:00.000+00:00I thought Dissolution was OK but it hasn't made me...I thought Dissolution was OK but it hasn't made me want to read more.I love Kate Atkinson though the crime ones aren't my favourites.

I'm also thinking about re-reading the three Kate Atkinson crime novels, musing on the "how she does it" while I go. Must say, these reading enthusiasms do makes one see the sense of creating linked titles, even if not a definite series. After a good read, one wants more!Penny Dolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16386668303428008498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-80439971437933014392009-02-28T22:43:00.000+00:002009-02-28T22:43:00.000+00:00Not being a driver, I can't really appreciate the ...Not being a driver, I can't really appreciate the glories of Satnav, though I do like being in a car which magically starts to SPEAK in some way. And the comparison with writing is good.<BR/>I'm so glad you're reading Dissolution and I hope you like it. You have all his others to go to as well, when you've finished that one. he's one of my favourites. Hope you stay UNLOST this coming week!adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15826710558292792068noreply@blogger.com
