Great, I hope you like it.

Now I feel bad about making those cat importing jokes

I've just finished chapter 2. So far it's a pretty good read.

Good Morning (and apologies for bumping my own thread).

Interested in hearing any feedback from anyone who managed to wade through the whole book without feeling the need to toss it in the bin

Or anyone else who would like a kindle copy, just PM an email address and I will send you one.

A few Amazon reviews would be nice also good or bad, it's the opinions I am after.

I'm still going through it, been busier than usual socially. I will do an Amazon once complete. I have to say that so far (about 70ish % through) it's very good, very well observed. Parts must have been difficult to write (the counselling session with wife).

The most difficult parts were anything involving sex to be honest, as I wrote it I was thinking that anyone who knew me would think that's me speaking directly.
Glad to hear it's holding your attention anyhow and you want to finish it.

Really enjoying it, partly because I'm reading it laying by the hotel pool in the Philippines. Can really relate to some of the characters (particularly at the brunch)

Actually I thought some of those were pretty realistic and worked for me. I've written some of those sorts of things myself and you have to be, uuumm, in a sort of mood LOL!
