I'll be completely honest, I haven't actually read the whole of this book, in fact I don't think I got further than the first couple of chapters. There are very few books that I've started and given up on.I've always liked Dawn French so I naturally assumed I would enjoy reading her first literary venture. I was wrong. Better people than me on this website have clearly managed to get much further with this book than I did, and are therefore better qualified than me to write a balanced review.The tiny bit I read of A Tiny Bit Marvellous turned out mediocre. I bought this book because it's by Dawn French, whom I love, and the title made it sound like it could well be a tiny bit marvellous.However, it was a very bit boring!The mum ws ok, the daughter was funny at times, the son drove me mad and bored me to tears. The story was dull and I just couldn't get into it. The only good bit was the ending, because A) it was the ending, and B) because of the twist, which after such a boring read, was totally so like unpredictable.One for the charity shop.
What do You think about Irgendwas Geht Immer (2010)?
It sure was different from what I usually read, and I guess I did like it a little.
