50 books in 1 year - 2008 - # 8
Apples
By Richard Milward
I read this last year and re-read it for my book group at Blue Lounge (which was dead good and 30 people came along and a reet good time was had) and although I still liked it, I noticed more things about it and found it to be very different reading something for ‘work’ rather than pure pleasure.
One lady dubbed this 'West Side Story meets Jeremy Kyle' which sums it up pretty well, and we debated whether or not it should be given to teenagers to warn them about how boring having kids is, and I definitely agree that reading this as GCSE now could be as mindblowing as when I was given To Kill a Mockingbird for the first time.
