However, I haven't always come to a book via its cover. The title - nothing to do with it; it actually would have put me off, as the word 'paradise' said 'romantic novel' to me, a genre that is not a 'go to' for me! The premise was what mad me say yes - BUT if the blurb had not been written well I would not have taken it further.

I love anything to do with survival in unlikely circumstances - and the author is clearly switched on about political corruption, too, which works for me :)Terry Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077413235902203848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-84539005417381424342015-05-15T00:50:22.499-07:002015-05-15T00:50:22.499-07:00Would hesitate on this one, Terry.

I'm actually slightly put off by the sheer length of this one, but I'm still looking forward to reading it. Some of my favourite books have been discovered through idle punts, ie via Twitter or Amazon browsing, so I still do it. The ones that have disappointed me tend to be those whose reviews turn out to be, on further investigation, back scratching 5* by author friends, sadly - which is why I continue to rail about this practice!Terry Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077413235902203848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-85797789372871480292015-05-15T00:38:17.144-07:002015-05-15T00:38:17.144-07:00Interesting premise, I can see the appeal.
