Just wondered if there was anyone on here that would like to read The boy in the blue striped pyjamas, Oh and myself have just finished reading it and as it is in paperback and quite light weight l wouldn't mind letting someone else have a read of it, l will pay for the postage so if you would like to read it give me a shout.

Sending PM Thanks

Linda

Just watched the film last week. Have you seen the film, and if so was it the same as the book, as they sometimes change things?

Haven't seen the film yet (grandson sent it to me and l can't find it) whoops .......l am going to send the book to Linda and when she's read it she said she would send it on to someone else.

Thank you

Yes I will forward to whoever wants it next

Linda :o)

Could I please borrow the book after Linda.
I would then pass it on to someone else.
Thank you
Sue

Susan, could you pm Linda, she said she would forward it when she had read it.
Good isn't , this book could travel all over the country, lol.

Thanks Mummo
Sue has given me her address

So we could be starting a chain of books

Hi Linda, have posted it to you , My local PO ran out of jiffy bags so excuse the bag l had to put it in, lol.

Can't send my book to anyone as the psotage would be more than the book! However I found this book to be profoundly moving and cannot stop thinking about it. Have recommended it to so many people...all who have been touched by it. My husband read it and was quiet for several hours, now that is unusual!
My sister sped through it, the opposite of me, I just had to keep re reading each chapter.

the film, well I watched it on TV and as usal the ethos is true to the film but it has been "interrpreted" as many books are when made into films.

I hope everyone finds something special in this book.

Bossyboots, l brought it in paperback so only cost 90p to send, just hope peeps enjoy reading it.

Thanks will let you know when it gets here

I have the DVD and lent it to a friend who had read the book, she said the end of the film was altered a bit and not as moving as the end of the book.

Read the book a few months back - and found it really moving. Other people have found the same.
Mum had to get it on audio - as she has sight problems, and she found it moving too.
Have not watched the film - yet - but plan on doing so soon

Hello Mummo

Just to let you know that mine is also a Paperback but as I live in Spain it really is expensive to send on, and I keep my books for visitors to read whilst they are visiting us..

Are there any other books that people have read that they would recommend. I read a review about the Glass Painters Daughter and a friend is bringing that out for me in late August, can't wait fro that to arrive as I have never read anything by the author before.

Morning Bossyboots, l do read a lot of books but what l tend to do is go to my local boot sale and pick up about a dozen books at a time ranging from 10p to a £1 a book, as my husband also is a avid reader too it doesn't break the bank. Sometimes when l'm shopping l do see a certain book l want to read so l will pay the full price but this latest one...........Boy in the blue striped pyjamas was one that l really did want to read and just thought others would like to read it also and better than gathering dust. I will have to have a look at the book you recommended.

Mummo
Thank you so much it has arrived !!! Brilliant service...................... first by you and second by the post office.
I will start to read it this evening after friends have gone, as they are coming for dinner, but will leave early as the husband has to be at Heathrow by ^;00 on an early shift.
I will send to Sue next.

Linda :o) XxX

Glad it arrived, put your feet up and l hope you enjoy it.

Can I ask to have it after Sue please? No rush as I have 2 Greaders books to read!


If anybody would like to read Dancing in the dark by Maureen Lee I have a copy I can send.

What a lovely thought - how kind & generous!
My friend lent me the book but I bought the audio CD which has an interview with the author at the end. Several friends have borrowed this and have said how moving this is. At present working through a list of friends who wish to borrow.

Love
