Long Novels

Why do good novels have to be so long? They don't. I'm reading 'The boy in the striped pyjamas' by John Boyne which is a 'small wonder of a book' (review in the Guardian). It was recommended by a friend we were visiting in Glastonbury. Whilst we were there we checked out the charity shops, which is becoming a bit of a custom as we stock up with things to go to college & the ME. J bought some clothes - no comment (actually I suppose 'no comment' is a comment) and I bought another small novel: 'The five people you meet in heaven'. We're off to Dawlish for a short break, we choose anywhere on the train network for our holidays! Book reviews to follow. P
