Helpful Score: 2
A great insight into Audrey's life and also quite a useful synopsis of most of the films she starred in. My only criticism would be the rather dramatic ending of each chapter.. usually something to the effect of, "she was very happy- but that was soon to change..."
Very thorough, entertaining and comprehensive.

Mostly hilarious with a little bit of creepy which I could have done without- but on balance worth a read.

Whilst extremely well written and in a very different, intriguing style, I found this one to be very transparent from the start and got rather bored. I liked the idea, but which it had been better executed.

I thought this was a rather wordy conclusion to an otherwise fantasic trilogy of books. Unfortunately you HAVE to read it to complete the story, and it is still a very strong plot, but i felt that the preceeding two volumes were of better quality.

Highly refreshing, a totally new plot and truly pleasing characters.

A somewhat weak follow up to the hugely successful Friday Night Knitting Club, but definitely a must-read if you have become attached to the characters!

Another great piece of writing by Longden, but it must be mentioned that this one is more for the hardened fan.
It includes a lot of interesting behind the scenes info about the filming of his screenplay 'Lost for Words' starring Dame Thora Hird and the wonderful Pete Postlethwaite.
The same great quality of writing, but a little more focused on seeing his film come to life rather than the day to day hysteria of his menagerie of cats wonderfully documented in his other books like 'the cat who came in from the cold'.

The author's observations were spot on and well informed and I appreciated the way she examined a variety of settings in which devices and media have caused unintended effects. However, I agree with @jjares that any solutions offered were wishy-washy at best. I would have liked to come away with the tools to challenge these digital behaviors, both in myself and in others. Instead, I finished the book feeling a sense of weary resignation that this is simply the way things are now and that it's unrealistic to fight it.
