We read this book for the first book of my monthly book club, personally I rated it two stars, as a group we rated it three stars. I dont think any of us really loved it, and personally I wouldnt say I really enjoyed it, but that's maybe because it's a book I wouldn't usually pick. I found it really hard to connect with the style.of writing as i could not get immersed in the story of the characters. It wasnt a very personal.style of writing, instead it made you feel as though you were being kept at arms length. I only started to enjoy the story three quarters through the book when the story was being tied up and coming to an end. As a group we decided we wouldnt be reading anymore Georgina Harding.

"So here’s where, for me, it comes down to either the second Godfather, Taxi Driver, which is [Martin] Scorsese’s best film, I think, or one of two or three Altmans, I guess. And of those three, I’d probably go with Taxi Driver. It’s pretty great, and it’s one of the most dangerous films ever to come out of this country, I think. And it’s got great performances, and it’s got such electric ambiguity in what it’s saying about this guy. For me, that film marks, probably, the end point of that great period of the 1970s. So many fine directors; Altman, Coppola, the freedom of expression. I almost didn’t have the resources to deal with Taxi Driver when I first saw it . I don’t go back to it all the time, because it’s such a handful, but I think that’s Scorsese’s best film."
