Not what I expected
I was recommended this book by a friend as I enjoyed Jane Eyre. Was not sure what I was expecting when I started this but I have to say I was disappointed. Whereas the premis was good and it was an interesting thought to explore 'Mrs Rochester' the bok was far too short and I felt what could have been a great exploration of a character fell way short. The narrative was all over the place using first and third perspectives. Worth a read if you want something quick to pass the time.

Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn is a hilariously quirky exploration of free speech, and what happens when it gets taken away. Full of whimsy and guaranteed to make you smile! I enjoyed this book so much, that I tend to re-read it every now and again - just to renew my appreciation for letters and words.

It's a quick and fun read, won't take you much time at all, but be ready for tongue twisting silliness that increases in hilarity as the book goes on. A must-read for any lover of the English language.
