Dull. Didn't enjoy anything about this book - the pretty cover was the best bit. A struggle to finish.

Boiling a Frog

by Christopher Brookmyre
Finished on August 30th 2007
Rated by scunnered:

Perfect holiday reading. Very funny. All my favourite ingredients - politics, sex, dodgy journos and even dodgier clergy. Reminded me of Colin Bateman. This will not be my last Christopher Brookmyre.

by Ray Bradbury
Finished on August 7th 2007

Written in 1953, this book is amazingly relevant today - particularly on the mind-numbing properties of inane television and its vision of a populace wearing miniature speakers in their ears.

Fascinating insight into a family's life in Kabul after the Taliban. Head of the house Sultan may be liberal when it comes to his country and his new government, but not when it comes to the women in his family.
