Bad Book Club

Personally I did not find Bad Book Club to be an enthralling read; in fact I only managed to force myself through about a quarter of it before giving up. Based on this I am not going to actually give it a star rating, as it feels a little wrong to rate without fully reading the book, but certainly from what I've read so far it would be quite a low rating.

The low point for me was when Robin Ince was talking about an autobiography he had read where the author only talks about mundane things that have happened in this life rather than talking about all the exciting people he has met. Robin is asking what could be more boring to read than someone arguing with their neighbour about the garden fence. Well my answer to this question is reading his book, in which he writes about a book, which writes about mundane events!

The overall group consensus (summed up by Lizzie) is as follows, "Mixed feelings about Robin Ince's book. We all wanted to like it but had trouble getting going with it and it felt like we were just reading a transcript from his stand up show (which in effect I guess we were). It's very much a dip in, dip out book".

Lets hope next months read is a little better!
