That's the only one they've made a movie of so far. Frankly, I find that too bad. Though it was very good, I think he has written some better stuff.
I've read everything by him except 'Fierce Invalids'. I took it with me to pensacola earlier this summer, intending for it to be my slooooooow beach book. However, on the second day, we got a fierce summer thunderstorm, and it caught the brunt of it. I still haven't replaced it. Instead, I bought "Villa Incognito".
I finished that one last week. As for a review...
If you LOVE stuff by him, you won't be disappointed. However, it was not one of my favorites. I felt like the story was left unfinished, and too many questions went unanswered. Normally, I enjoy a book that lets me fill in the blanks. however, with his books, there are just so many blanks, and some of them just can't be filled except by him, at least to my satisfaction. So, not a bad read at all, well worth the time, but it wasn't my favorite by him.
As you may have noticed, I adored "Jitterbug Perfume". "Still Life With Woodpecker" is also at the top of my list. "Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas" was amazing. Those are probably my top three. But then again, "Skinny Legs" was quite good as well.
Hmmm. maybe I need to re-read them all and come up with something more definitive, eh?
Happy reading!!
