Laney bird is a retired undercover cop who is bumbling along through life with her troubled son Alfie. Dealing with her daily struggles as a single mum then one day Alfie doesn't return home

The book is captivating from the start. You get the back story of why alfie goes missing and all of the feelings and instincts of not just a mother but a retired cop, and just what she will do to have her son back.
I love the intensity of the book and intensity of all of everybodys feelings that are involved.

A deffinate must read it was capturing, intense and thrilling, deffinatly makes you want to turn the page to find out what happens next.

Captures Seemingly Indescribable Emotion
Milan Kundara does a brilliant job capturing the complexity of relationships and the connections we have with other people. Among tacit emotions, he is able to use words to convey characters' complicated feelings in such a way that they evoke real emotion in the reader.

Mixed feelings about this film. Leonardo Di Caprio was brilliant, it was energetic and it was funny at times but on the flip side I hated the arrogance and excess of the characters and it should have been shorter. It's a true story but I ended up disappointed as Belfort did not really pay for his crimes.

I did not enjoy the film for this very reason.... tragic that it's trumpeting him as great and holding him up as hero status.

This book is an enlightening read, making you think about subjects or feelings that you might normally find uncomfortable. The general theme is around depression and suicide, but it is handled well. The 4 different character perspectives made the story feel a little thinly spread and may have benefited from being from just one or two perspectives.

I have mixed feelings about this novel; there were aspects I liked, then at some points, i found it tedious.
The portrayal of James VI/I was interesting, and I agreed with it for the most part. Mahmoud was likeable, and an interesting character.
I just don't really know if i liked this on a whole.
