The Dicktionary Club by Sophie Gravia

Ok I don't normally write my review on the RN Forum as I attend the online meeting but as I was putting up someone's review I thought I would share my thoughts. 

I am thinking I am the only person who actually enjoyed this month's book, and the crazy thing is I didn't want to read it at all !!! I have no idea whether it comes across better as an audible book that as an actual book to read but I felt the relationship between the three friends was warm and loving. I will agree in the beginning of the book it was quite heavy on the language used unfortunately the conversations they had between themselves I could see happening with some people today. I was laughing thought-out the book and whilst participating in my Lego builds over the weekend I did enjoy the book. I felt that had a reasonable story line and the gathering of data for the website made sense. I personally still feel it is not the best book in the world, its not the worse either. I cant judge it on its written ability as I listened too it but I will admit I did enjoy the book and potentially would listen to the sequel, which we all know is coming. 

I will still stand by the second book I gave members the option to read, this was a Waterstones recommendation to me and I read it and did include on the last month's book choices. Although this book was from the same genre, it was just better written, had a way better story. There was erotic scenes within the book but they were more enticing rather than crude and blunt. I will be intrigued my members thoughts on comparing the two books, for the 29 people who received both. 

I do feel that this genre of books is a little like marmite, I suppose we all like different genres and I am so glad that the RN Book club have experienced this genre and am looking forward to the full reviews later.
