Album Favorite

"Seventeen Seconds is my favorite Cure album. It wasn’t the first one I heard; I bought Japanese Whispers and then The Head on the Door, both on cassette tape, and used to listen to them while I did my newspaper delivery round at the age of about 15 in Oxford. But then I went back and started getting into the earlier Cure records. With the people I knew, Pornography and Faith were both really big, but I gravitated toward Seventeen Seconds because it was less heavy, more minimal. Like most of their albums, it has its own unique sound. My favorite track off the album is ‘Play for Today,’ and I was absolutely buzzing when we played with them in Greece last week and they played this and ‘A Forest’ together in the setlist."

Book Rating
4.5 stars!

I got really into this. The mystery surrounding Jay and his vendetta against the woman who'd ran his name through the mud in her newspaper articles. Bu there was also something else there, something he wasn't saying.

I LOVED IT!

I can't go into too much detail or I'll give everything away but it was so well put together and thought out that it really impressed me.

The only reason I knocked it down half a star was Jay's behaviour towards Matilda at times. Saying that he wants to be friends and no matter how much he seems to want her she has to say no and when she doesn't he just gives in anyway. Mixed signals or what, Jay!

But nevertheless, I really enjoyed this story!
