Various Pets Alive and Dead by Marina Lewycka, the author of A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian.
We meet at Leigha & Steve's place.
Leigha brought the shortlist.
Scores:
Tim, Mari and Marie - present but abstained because (as usual) they hadn't read much
Wendy 12 - hasn't finished but will because she wants to find out what happened
Monika 11 - found it slow, some aspects not finished to her satisfaction.
Jim 8 - didn't like it. The writing was flat and the story didn't go anywhere.
Leigha 9 - disappointed, didn't meet expectations of hilarity. It was like bad Franzen
Johanna 9 - didn't hate it but didn't love it, but did finish it, which is saying something.
Average: 9.8
