ok, well, I'll steal Kerrys phrase one more time - very, very far fetched sums it all up really, especially the bit about James aborting the baby and making Mary pregnant again and her having the baby 2 months late without her realising lmao. Also, that surgeon who changed Davids face hahaha they need to employ him asap for people who really need it like burn victims etc! anyway, It was still enjoyable, I did believe it was Mary all along so it had a bit of a surprise element after all! Over all I'd rate it 5/10

I've got to chapter 8, I stopped reading due to the Japanese ordeal. been following that really closely. Will read more tomorrow. Sorry.

Spoiler:

I'd stretch to 6/10 at best. It's quite a silly book though keeps you wondering I suppose

oh also :

Spoiler:

The bit about Stan witnessing his fathers murder, he was 10 years old but he used to sneak into his fathers office to play..........at the college.............how did he get there?..........shouldn't he have been at school?........and if not wouldn't his mother be wondering where he was? and after his father was shot, how did he sneak away without anyone noticing?

[GypsyGoth]

I managed to get half way through. I'm sure I'll finish it in the next few days, that is if I don't accidentally drop it in the bath.

I find it too unbelievable, the fantasy books I usually read are far more likely to happen than this, anyway having said that I'm sorta enjoying it, it's like watching a badly acted movie.

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

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!

[Niamh.]

[Lee.]

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

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

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

[Kerry]

I think I have about 3 of his books. The others are better

[GypsyGoth]

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]

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.]

Oh good luck with your move Ben!

[Benjamin]

Thank you.

[Kerry]

Yes, take care UKT x

[Kerry]

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.]

I think Claudia is to choose the next one..

I'm STILL not finished "PlayDead"

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?

Cool, there's no hurry.

[Lee.]

Did Ben finish Play Dead?

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

[Kerry]

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
