There’s an irony in the inference increasingly in recent reviews of fiction that a writer should just continue to write the same book when what we’d all like is some of the repetitive and predictable lack in reviews to cease. Not least because we have so few of them these days, ideas are imperative

This great novel came out in June and reviews are now trickling in from readers who have (naturally, rightly) taken a couple of months to tackle the 750 pages. It's not a book to be galloped through, but one to inhabit for an extended period. Read Jeff's excellent review - and be like Jeff!

The world (and my bank balance) needs more Jeff. Deepest thanks for this absolutely ON IT response. I look forward to the extended mix. If we can't have more Jeff then the rest of you are going to have to step up and be LIKE Jeff. All good bookstores and so on . . .

I enjoyed compiling this list of auspicious debuts by some favourite writers, including (among the living) M. John Harrison, Jonathan Meades, David Hayden, Sara Baume, Drew Gummerson and Wendy Erskine. Jonathan's summary (below) sounds unsettlingly like 'The Monkey's Paw' by W. W. Jacobs.

Extra cheering, somehow, to see a library copy. The book switches register and genre so brazenly that I think a reader is bound to like some parts better than others. I hope you find good things, and enjoy the journey.

Finally finished The Coast of Everything and already excited to read it again. So beautifully layered and crafted so that there's a propulsive sweep through the whole thing, but also echoes and ghosts that criss cross and circle back on themselves as you read. #booksky

A hugely entertaining review of a great novel. Yes it's very long (the novel I mean) so reader responses have appeared slowly since publication in June. But they are all FANTASTIC responses, like this one. This is (and I'm not gushing) a durable masterpiece. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
