I really loved this book. It made me laugh out loud, which I don’t think has ever happened before with a novel. Although the book is marketed as a crime novel, I’d say it’s more philosophical in nature with the occasional plot point - normally this would irritate me, but his writing is so sharp and interesting that I actually enjoyed the meandering pace. The characterisation is so real, that’s where the laughs came from for me is when he’s describing the people around him with this horrid honesty. Stuntboy, in the Meantime features numerous charts that provide instructions for how to do different things. What are your areas of expertise?

Which part of the definition do you think describes the community that is created by the residents of Skylight Gardens?

If you are in the reflecting stages of you life wondering where your relationships went wrong, this is for you. Never give up on love. Your meantime is for a reason.I read this in the past when I was going through a difficult time in a past relationship. This book really helped put things into perspective. So much so, that I still refer to the term "meantime relationships". I recently bought this for my niece who is struggling a little with her relationships and is confused as to what she should do. Why is Portico initially excited when his parents tell him they are getting two apartments? Why do you think he does not realize his parents are separating? If someone decided to remake Trainspotting crossed with Columbo and it was co directed by the Coen Brothers and David Lynch then this is most likely what they would come up with. Although the central character of Felix acts as the narrator it is nigh on impossible to read his stream of consciousness and interior monologue without hearing the voice of Frankie Boyle in your head. There are quite frequent examples of industrial language, so if you find the use of profanities in your reading matter off-putting, then this is probably not the book for you. Against that there are some moments that are - perhaps somewhat surprisingly - quite poignant and there are also a number of sections that not only made me smile, but actually caused me to laugh audibly. Accept the fact that in a relationship the only person you are dealing with is yourself. Your partner does nothing more than reveal your stuff to you.

In the Meantime by Iyanla Vanzant - AbeBooks

Meantime is beautiful in its harsh and brutal narrative. The writing is crystal clear, each word soaks into your skin like the bleak Scottish rain. No happy endings but it is intricate, it settled under my skin and had me craving more. Every mistake carves a deep and unsettling wound. If one sentence could sum it up it would be that. The truth is that love is buried in your soul, and no relationship with anyone can unearth it or activate it in your life. There are clear semi-autobiographical elements to this and it even gets a little meta at times. Immensely funny people tend to be immensely intelligent and Boyle is no exception, yes there are times when scenarios can have a slightly staged feel and some of his views feel almost crowbarred in, but then that’s what’s most writers do. And the results are more than worthwhile. Sondheim’s 80th birthday led to a wealth of celebrations. Two concerts, in particular, stand out. One was at Avery Fisher Hall in New York in March, where the stars turned out in force: Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters gave us the best of Sunday in the Park With George, Elaine Stritch proclaimed I’m Still Here and Michael Cerveris wielded the razor over George Hearn, a previous Sweeney Todd, in Pretty Women. Not to be outdone, the Proms staged their own Birthday Concert in July: the highlight for me was Simon Russell Beale, Daniel Evans and Julian Ovenden rendering Everybody Ought to Have a Maid (“Fluttering up the stairway, Shuttering up the windows”) with skittish vaudevillian glee.
