Has the May book been announced yet? Someone wanna pick a book and post a thread? A great book I read recently was The Playground Mafia by Sarah Tucker.

It's about scandel and bitchiness in the playground, but from the mothers!]]> Mon, 14 May 2007 16:09:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6519&PID=145200&title=book-club-april#145200 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6519&PID=143215&title=book-club-april#143215 Author: Bumble

For May, can I suggest "The Alchemist" By Paulo Coelho. Just read it today, is quite short. Perfect for those with not much time to read.

Very thought provoking...... But well written.. Very well written

finished it this morning, i found it good, but the ending is a big of an anticlimax. it is sucha slow pace and you feel like it is winding towards something - winding, winding and then it ends. i was expecting a bit more.
but i do think it is beautifully written, so descriptive and amazing to think women live like this! i happened to watch a documentary on the doc channel about modern day geisha, its nice to know this tradition isnt being lost completely.]]> Fri, 20 Apr 2007 14:32:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6519&PID=133515&title=book-club-april#133515 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6519&PID=133485&title=book-club-april#133485 Author: Roksana

I read the book long time ago. When I was working for whitcoulls. I though the book was great....when the movie came out..I was a bit dissapointed but it was a good movie.

Movies are never as good as the book. Watch the movie then read the book, you get soo much more out of it.

I loved the book "Sleepers" it was just tooo good...and yet the movie is so-so.

I couldnt read London, Russia etc....to big and not my kinda book.]]> Fri, 20 Apr 2007 14:01:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6519&PID=133485&title=book-club-april#133485 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6519&PID=133195&title=book-club-april#133195 Author: aimeejoy

dont bother, thats just my opinion tho.

it isnt my normal genre, i like sci fi/fantasy, crime and the occasional barbara cartland. so take my thoughts with a grain of sand if you wish.

i thought the writing very simplistic (not always a bad thing tho), very slow to get to the point and the main character always seemed to be comparing things to fish or rocks or sticks.? i was very disappointed to find that it was really a badly written romance and the ending didnt satisfy me at all. i did however find some bits interesting and felt embarrassed for nobu near the end. another good point i suppose was that there wasnt endless descriptions of scenery, which can get tedious and the characters were all well described so i could picture them quite well.
i wont be reading any more of his books tho.

got my copy from the library yesterday and am half way thru chapter 2 now. so far so good. after reading the translators notes i wondered if it might be a bit "stiff" but can see now that i am reading it from a young girls perspective that the style changes as it is very simplistic and basic.

how bout everyone else? finished the book yet or just going to get it out on video? ]]> Wed, 11 Apr 2007 09:41:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6519&PID=128709&title=book-club-april#128709 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6519&PID=128596&title=book-club-april#128596 Author: caitlynsmygirl

It'll take me a month just to read it! I'm half way thru his Russia book (can't remember the title offhand). Started it when I was pregnant with Maya and still wading thru!

And thanks for clearing that up Liz - I was a little confused initially but when I read the author's acknowledgements I kind of gathered it was fiction.]]> Thu, 05 Apr 2007 22:14:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6519&PID=126902&title=book-club-april#126902 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6519&PID=126858&title=book-club-april#126858 Author: Brenna
