December book

For December we read Ali Smith's The accidental which no-one was very enthusiastic about. Some people didn't enjoy the way the book was written, because the author changes points of view through the novel and also they felt that it was quite inconclusive in that the strange girl arrived, affected the family and then vanished.

The staff at Cumnock Academy chose this during the summer for our book group. It did not go down well for most of us. Two people really enjoyed it, but the rest either hated it or didn't care enough to finish. I'm afraid I was one of those put off enought to give up.
