Wild and Free and Funny!!!
I bought Wild and Free at the airport in Jamaica and am so happy that I did!!! This book was a joy to read! Every chapter is practically a story unto itself and most chapters will have you smiling if not laughing out loud with an occasional snort! I love the "life is beatiful...seize the day" message in the book,the tribute to Shakespeare's whimsy, and the love. This book will be on my all time favorites for comedic love stories! And it's so very clever!! This is a British author and I did have trouble with some of the colloquialisms but that was just a bonus for me...love to learn new expressions and ways of describing things. Wonderful book!!!
The book as it has a bit of everything in it: romance, drama, suspense, and comedy.
**I received a free copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review**
All the characters we are introduced to at the start of the book are heading off to âWild & Freeâ â a festival set in the beautiful countryside of Somerset. Some are going in order to perform. Some are going to escape everyday life, chill out and have some fun, and some are going to get up to no good at all.
There are many characters to meet, and to begin with I found it confusing. I had to occasionally flick back a few chapters to remind myself who was who, and this did put a bit of a dampener on the book for me (especially when the name of one character briefly changed, which a proof reader shouldâve picked up on!) However, I ploughed on with it and it became easier.
Each of the characters were unique and there were some I liked and some I didnât. Amongst them there were jewel thieves, an ex-convict, a politician, a crazy wannabe childrenâs author, a middle-aged reformed rock group, two teachers, a judge, two beauty business entrepreneurs, and more.
A lot of the characters became linked to each other and this helped bring the story together which made reading easier. I enjoyed reading about teacher, Ginnie, and headmaster, Mark. The will-they-wonât-they element was a nice contrast to other stories going on, such as the two escaped murderous convicts, Boz and George, who were disguised as a drag act.
The character of Lorna Newwoman (she changed it from Newman much to everyoneâs horror and amusement) was another character I enjoyed reading about. She is determined to introduce her début books at the Story Jam; âThe King Who Couldnât Weeâ and âThe Princess Who Couldnât Pooâ much to the utter humiliation of her young son, Alfie. I felt a surge of sympathy for Alfie throughout the book due to his motherâs awful and embarrassing antics.
