I didnt realise that unsent letters could be so much fun. The Twitter feeds and the lists are funny.
The author's replies to the conversation heard as a third party listener is a two-tier privilege to the reader.
If the authors neighbies are so dumb, I am surprised how he hasnt moved. I still didnt get how the author has become a better person. And if the author has decoded the female brain then the next book should be 'What girls want?'.

The Unimaginable

3 and 1/2 stars
I was very intrigued by the story. I never read a romance that takes place abroad for the characters. And to think of the heroine trying to save herself, who doesnt want to be in that place.
The setting of a foreign land and the shores add up for a catchy tale. The main characters emotional baggage is well portrayed. Another supporting character too is well sketched while the traditional romance novels dont leave the focus from the main characters. The most striking thing about the book is the adventure and the risk that it involves , which adds the texture of things going awry.
The book is way too long for a romance novel. Its not going to be a quick stress buster like a Harlequin or M&B. But the length also gave the author a chance to flesh out her characters to know them more than superficially.

How to teach your children Shakespeare

I have never come across a book that can be a family book. Usually when we read books, the best we can do is volley the funny or the parts we want to share to the family member/s. The author has shown examples from Shakespeares plays, how by repeating the lines, rhythm can aid in memorising the lines. Once we have the line fed to our ear many times, the meaning and the setting emerge. He then explains what poetry is and ho most of Shakespeare's play start. The author's way will not only get the kids to learn Shakespeare but the parents too.
