Sharp Words Exchanged Whilst Digging 'The Graveyard Book'

Catherine at Sharp Words has once again asked me to help her to review a book.

Okay, that's just a big fat lie. I asked her. I begged her.

Last time we did 'The Book Thief' and it was great fun and got a fun reaction. This time it's 'The Graveyard Book' by Neil Gaiman.

When it comes to the book, I really really think that it_



No... wait. Nonononono.

Click here and read our review.

Well, really it's her review with me throwing random stuff in here and there.

You know how I go on.

The Book Thief - Sharp Words Exchanged

So there was I, having this fun email exchange with Catherine of Sharp Words all about the book 'The Book Thief'.

Little did I know she would turn it into a post!!


Oh, all right, I did know...

I think it's a great, fun idea and a good way to extract some more ideas on the books we are reading. Well done Catherine and thanks very much for letting me have a go at it.

Why not go over to Sharp Words and have a look?

Oh just before you go...


If you're around Dublin tomorrow, 17th May 2008, The 'Centre Stage' event kicks off at Cabinteely Park at about Two. Balally Players are putting on my play 'The Moon Cut Like a Sickle' in the open air at about 2.45pm (all right then, 3.00pm but you don't want to be late).

This will probably be the final-fling for this production and the guys have hinted at some neat innovations in honour of the super open-air setting.


The weather is promised good so why not head on down?

Let me know if you do, eh?



This is a link to a radio feature which Dublin City FM did about the production. There's an extract or two along the way. I'm not in it but, God knows, it's none the worse for that.

I am in this one though - (from the original production). You have to page down a little.

Just in case you're wondering what I sound like...
