FINISHED: The Stars' Tennis Balls by Stephen Fry (spoilery)

So this book... it was not what I expected!

It starts off all cutesy and long distance relationship and people with too much money in private school, going on sailing trips with fathers who are cabinet ministers... and then the IRA get involved.

And there's a mental institution, and the obligatory wise father type figure. And then murder and such. I can't really say more without spoiling the story for you.

So it was pretty grim, but I liked it! It was a fun read, even if it did jump about all over the place. I felt the characters were underdeveloped and I could have known them a lot better...

6/10
