    Part 1 on this novella would be familiar to anyone who has seen the most recent BBC adaption, and tbh I was a little annoyed that i couldn't get Cumberbatch and Freeman out of my head.

    However Part 2 (most of it anyway) was an unexpected and pleasant surprise, as the story's setting shifts from London to the great plains of Salt Lake City, and there's a sudden "Great American Novel" feel to it. I absolutely adored the writing in this part.

    Can I ask what your day job is? You read very quickly!

    I'm office based, but I'm not reading as much these days, a book every 2-3 weeks seems to be my average at the minute. Plus I've just started studying part time, so I'll be reading even less now.

    I think I'm going to focus on Novellas for a while, quick reads I can get through in between study. Don't want anything too heavy as I might get bogged down with other stuff.
