Hodder Headline are all a-swirl with excitement that erstwhile actress Tana French's (left) Into the Woods has now sold into 13 territories, although they're probably nowhere near as delirah-'n'-exirah with the rather mixed readers' reviews it's been getting, particularly when it comes to the ending. What's wrong, people? Never heard of an ambiguous denouement before? Bloody ingrates, etc. Tap-dance over here to see and hear Tana do her 'exquisitely gorgeous actress/author' thingymagummy ... yep, we think she looks a lot like how a young Jamie Lee Curtis might with a gun to her head too.Tuesday, May 1, 2007

Declan Burke has published a number of novels, the most recent of which is ABSOLUTE ZERO COOL. As a journalist and critic, he writes and broadcasts on books and film for a variety of media outlets, including the Irish Times, RTE, the Irish Examiner and the Sunday Independent. He has an unfortunate habit of speaking about himself in the third person. All views expressed here are his own and are very likely to be contrary.
I didn't get past page 50. I've never read anything quite so up its own arse.
