Hi grimfandango. That's a good idea we should have a review of books that people have enjoyed :angel:

It's just an ordinary tale of folk who live and work in San Fransisco, and their lives, passions, jobs, relationships etc. Sounds usual BUT it's written in rhyme! It is truly amazing, and unlike much of what is written that way, very rarely sounds contrived. Even the contents and acknowlegements rhyme.

Hmm, not sure it's my type of thing really, but if anyone else reads it let us know what you thought and I might change my mind.
