I am finding Ariel Leve's The Cassandra Chronicles really too depressing so I'm reading it in small doses. She really puts the worst possible gloss on everything and only takes pleasure in things going wrong. The whole book seems to have a hollow ring as well as though she doesn't quite believe what she's writing.
Or am I just the wrong reader for this book?

Very mixed reading
I gave up on Richard T Kelly's Crusaders and put it on the charity shop pile. I couldn't even bring myself to write a review of it.
I am currently reading: Ariel Leve's The Cassandra Chronicles - a collection of short pieces from one of the Sunday papers. Michael Mansfield's autobiography - Memoirs of a Radical Lawyer. Christopher Booker's The Seven Basic Plots: Why we Tell Stories. As a little light relief I'm still reading John Mortimer's The Third Rumpole Omnibus. A pretty varied selection!
