The idea that someone can change their face and play for the same team is preposterous, I mean wouldn't he have the exact same body, wouldn't someone just be able to compare a picture of him now to one before he died, and don't those guys all shower in the nude with each other after they play.

And that part where the bank manager realised that David was supposedly dead when he carried out the money transaction. Surely the bank guy would have called the police straight away. I mean it became a criminal fraud once he realize he gave out money from someone's account when they were supposedly dead.

Also not only do I hate Laura, I now hate her whole bloody family.

And the way TC has all this info about Stan (the scumbag brother) and he doesn't tell Laura until after he has wormed his way into their lives, what type of friend would do such a thing.

There are other things that have been bugging me, but my fingers are getting tired typing.

And I'm just at chapter 16, Laura is about to head back to Australia. I'm going to read more tonight :amazed:
Spoiler:

my thoughts exactly.............I would get into it with you but I'm not quite sure what exactly has happened yet where you are in the book. but yeah, fantasy books are one thing but when it's supposed to be a book about real life people unbelievable stuff like you just mentioned becomes more unacceptable!

:laugh2:

I started it when I was away.. Erm, it's quite **** isn't it? Sorry about that folks! :blush:

However, I need to keep reading now..

I read one of his books before and I'm sure it was good. Anyway, I'm only at the bit where Gloria has just been away for the weekend with Stan, so I'll persevere and let you know what I think.

Well, he did have a note at the start of the book saying if it was the first book of his you were going to read to stop and get a different one, he said it was the first one he wrote and he was very young at the time:laugh:

Ahh.. yeah I forgot that actually. Oh well..hopefully it gets better!

Kerry 22-03-2011 08:47 PM
I think I have about 3 of his books. The others are better :D

GypsyGoth 27-03-2011 11:54 PM
Finished reading it last night.

Spoiler:

On the plus side I didn't hate it all. However some of it was insanely far fetched, it was like the author didn't do any research. And the you're brother and sister and then you're not brother was ridiculous.

I just wish a better editor read the book before it was published, as it could have been improved a lot.

Benjamin 27-03-2011 11:57 PM
Hey girls, I'm away from tomorrow as moving and don't know when I'll be on next.

If/when you all finish this book shall I say GypsyGoth is the next one to choose?

Sorry again, I'll try get back on here as soon as I can with my input to 'Play Dead' and the next book. :)

Lee. 28-03-2011 12:02 AM
Oh good luck with your move Ben! :)

Benjamin 28-03-2011 12:03 AM
Thank you. :hug:

Kerry 28-03-2011 12:28 AM
Yes, take care UKT :) x

Kerry 29-03-2011 12:29 AM
Any sugesstions of what will/may be the next book? Going on an Amazon spree this week. Unlikely I'll pick something up otherwise

Lee. 29-03-2011 12:37 AM
I think Claudia is to choose the next one..

I'm STILL not finished "PlayDead" :blush:

I'm happy with you picking the next book for the book club, are we finished with Play Dead?

Or we could read something like 1984?

Nope, I think he got distracted by news and moving.

Kerry 30-03-2011 10:39 PM
I've just bought another Harlan Corben book as generally they are good (IMO). I think I have 4 or 5 now. Just perhaps not the best start to his career :D

It was completely ridiculous, but I found it easy reading and I suppose it did keep me intrigued. :)

His other books are way better though!

Theres a world of difference in his other books isn't there? I'm reading one now

Kerry 23-05-2011 01:38 AM
Doesn't look like this worked........ :/

Benjamin 27-07-2015 10:15 PM
Been a while since we had this, anyone up for doing this again?

Marsh. 27-07-2015 10:28 PM
:(

Mokka 27-07-2015 10:30 PM
I would

(That's what she said ... )

Iceman 27-07-2015 11:00 PM
Yeah sounds good. I spend two hours a day on buses so I'll have the time.

Jessica. 27-07-2015 11:06 PM
I'd probably do it :D

T* 27-07-2015 11:16 PM
i will

Natalie. 28-07-2015 05:26 AM
I would

GypsyGoth 28-07-2015 06:50 AM
It depends on a few things. Put me down as a maybe.

Benjamin 28-07-2015 07:00 AM
No :idc:








:love:

Niamh. 28-07-2015 08:56 AM
I would, I was one of the only ones who read the book last time though :fist:

I'm off on holiday on Thursday though and have a few books already lined up, if you decide on one before before Thursday I'll try to pick that up

GypsyGoth 28-07-2015 10:41 PM
I'm pretty sure I read the book last time, if it was about some basketball player who changes his dna, or something like that, and it was a love story, then I did. If there was one after that, then I didn't :laugh:

:D :love: I'm going to be pretty busy next week and I'm not sure how long it's gonna last. But I will find the time if possible.

Black Dagger 28-07-2015 10:49 PM
It will probably last like one book if we are lucky but yeah I will join in.

Ammi 29-07-2015 06:04 AM
