Book Review: Middle England by Jonathan Coe



A good read especially having visited London for the first time. I get the gist of this novel. Thoughtful. Disappointments. Expectations. All shared in characters' day to day existence.

Having recently spending time in London for the first time, I realized the setting that the story line is played is spot on. Helps me reference the experiences the characters encounter and the locations. The Names of the area, the language of what's spoken, helps me understand the story much better with appreciation. Totally relatable at times with love gain, lost, and all in between. The human spirit is always at constant reflect.  Now, if only the writer would have expanded more with the characters in their lives and what could have been reading. Just my thought.  Again, a good read on creating a climate of change in human behavior, politics, and relationships.

Book Review: The Art Forger by B.A. Shapiro

  A brief assessment after reading this novel, not surprised, predictable in the world of art industry where one so much as wants to be accomplished and successful as a reputable artist , and end up not making a dent in this competitive field. I'm not surprised, but it was worth a read and being drawn into this world of art collection , and get a glimpse of their dealings. It was a smart and engaging book, wish I had more time to really get lost in this novel. It ended too soon. Hope to read the next book from B.A. Shapiro .
