Hello All

Happy New Year to you.

I have just finished Skinny Dip apologies for late post.
I have to admit I got off to a slow start with this book, as like Billie I coldn't get on with the Americanisms - there seemed to be a lot of them. But for me it did slow the pace of the story down. The humour was black and on some occasions remined me of a Cohen Brothers film - such as Fargo, did anyone else think this? In fact this book would make a very good film as there were a lot of visual humour that would work well - like the shooting of Ricca in the swamp, Chaz being bitten by the mossies. I have to agree Tool was my favourite character, Joey came accross as an all action heroine, which didn't feel right with the marriage to Chaz. The story was very tounge in cheek and the ending superb - what a good way for Chaz to go. Thanks Elaine for choosing this book - I would not have chosen it myself, but I certainly will be passing it on to friends.
