Do the hurdles include wanting The Brick banned, or suing Amazon?

by **PeterMac** 07.08.24 9:51

"Unspecified" at the moment, but hard work.
The Kindle one seems OK too

For most the truth is welcomed, for others ... the TRUTH hurts.

Brilliant! I've just bought it.

Now I can carefully reconstruct my copy of the Brick back to its former glory and put it on the bookshelf thumbsup

Thanks for the heads up!
Could only get the kindle edition, but that may be easier to read and involve less visits to the sprain clinic

Plus, it'll be easier to copy and paste excerpts for discussion.

Hopefully Paulo will buy himself a copy so he can stop sending me stroppy, sweary emails.

Maybe the paperback was a bit too expensive for him and he needed his pocket money for crayons...but the kindle version should be a bit more affordable for him.

Fantastic! I bought it as soon as I saw this post. Can’t wait to get my teeth in.

I’m on nightshift later, but once everything is quiet I shall put on my snorkel and flippers then dive right in.

I am finding this book very entertaining, even without the McCann bits. big grin

Reading about his adventure alone is brilliant.

Fantastic book, can't put it down.

Sorry to be a pest, can anybody possibly link to a source where I can purchase this book in the UK. Struggling to find one, I don't do audiobooks or kindle.

by **Jill Havern** 08.08.24 22:47

You don't need a kindle reader - I just downloaded it and I'm reading it in my browser.

I meant to say I don't like reading books on a screen. I will just have to wait.

Kindle format makes Search possible, since the Brick has no index.

Jill, where did you download from? I don't have a kindle either but reading on computer or tablet is OK for me.

I got it from the Amazon link that Peter posted earlier
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0DC5TPGZW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_d_asin_title_351_o01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I find it easier to read on the screen.

Ona computer you upload Kindle for Mac - FREE. and I have no doubt for MS as well
and the books drop automatically into it.

by **Jill Havern** 09.08.24 10:55

Crusader, have you finished reading the Brick yet?

I'm sorry to say I haven't, I've been busy trying to sort out my finances , nearly done though, I'm hoping to get back to it soon.

No table of contents unfortunately.

Im still working my way through the book, but decided to get the Kindle anyway.
I havent used kindle before and I wanted to get the book as a file on my computer that I could pop into whenever I wanted. I have tried to convert the kindle file but nothing works despite people saying it can be downloaded.
So, I have accepted that I have got to look at it using Kindle. I am rather disturbed that there is not a log out option on Kindle. I would rather I could log out rather than just closing it, but that said, I have already made good use of it for checking some information.

So, if you can manage it, I would recommend getting the kindle even if you have already got the book. I prefer to read the book, but the search facility of kindle will be excellent in checking stuff quickly.
