So we are powering through these books now, love that for me. And I’m so enjoying this trip down memory lane as it’s been such a long time since I read these for the first time I’ve forgotten so much about what happens in them.

What is incredible though is that while I have forgotten a lot of what happens in the books, as soon as I start to read them again I’m instantly reminded of the story and it all comes rushing back to me. This one in particular I remember scaring me as a kid, I think it was the image of the dead octopus and the e descriptions of what happens to divers after too many dives in a day.

Plus the connections that Lawrence makes between people are so subtle that you don’t even fully realise until it is right on top of you. As I say, thoroughly enjoying the journey through this series and can’t wait to get to the others.
