I've now started "the Time Travellers Wife" but am struggling to get into it. Is it worth persevering anyone?

Yes. I really enjoyed it, although you do have to keep paying attention, or you could lose the thread with all the jumping about in time. I found I was quite a few chapters into the book before I really began to get the hang of what was going on.

I am now reading the first book about the Famous Five by Enid Blyton! I thought I'd like to remind myself why I enjoyed them so much!! [msnwink]

My favorite book of all time is The Lord of the Rings. Lost count how many times I have read it - first time I was 12!
I also LOVE Terry Pratchett as they just make me laugh out loud. My favorite charaters are Death ,The Witches and The Guards.
I read the Time Travellers Wife a couple of weeks ago and have to say I got a bit fed up with it half way through but I did finish it. I can't see me reading it again so will take it to the villa and leave it for the guests[msnwink]
Another Set of books I have begun reading are the Number 1 Ladies Detetive Agency books. A nice Light read on the plane and again can be left at the villa - got to build up that library some how [msnsmile2]
Oh - and I also like the Edith Padgett books about Brother Cadfeal. I have a complete set and like to read them again and again, even tho I know Who did it now [msnsmile2]

I like easy to read, no concentration books.
I am probably on closest wavelength to Fiona as we like a lot of the same stuff.
I suppose what I'm trying to say is I like "chick lit"[msnembarrased]
Nothing too challenging[msneek]
Is Lyn Andrews the author who is supposed to be the Northern answer to Martina Cole? ( I love MC books)

I like lashings of ginger beer when I read those books.

I have given the lashings of ginger beer a miss (actually I never did like it) but I have got some tins of fruit and ripe plums beside me as I read!!

Chrizzy, the first book is called Five on a Treasure Island. It involves a shipwreck, a castle and some gold ingots. Is that the one you are talking about do you think?
