Title: A Penny for Our Thoughts
Review: Of course the first chapter of this novel is what Britain (and a few happy Americans) are raving about. But with her lucid, fast-paced array of voices, Ali Smith has done something very few peers are managing these days, cast a vivid new world with crisp, strong characters. While I can agree at some points the pool seemed to be growing shallower (the gimmicky use of '&', {can somebody help me recall the name of that symbol?} and the occasional moral lesson shouted and waved) I was hooked right through to the very end.If you tried Kerouac once and put him down forever, dont go near this book. If you enjoy a powerful new voice that tends to bend (if not create) the rules, buy this book! It's one you'll tell your friends about.
