Premium Review Blackberry Wine - Joanne Harris: One for the road. (752 words)

Blackberry Wine is one of a series of food related books written by Joanne Harris, more recognised for her bestselling books, Chocolat and Five Quarters of an Orange. The theme of all three books is gastronomy and each has its' merits as modern literature, whilst being different in their own ways. The style of Joanne Harris's work is distinctively ...

Premium Review Almost Intoxicating, but Falls Slightly Sour (1508 words)

I have a confession to make. I've read the novel Chocolat, but I think it isn't the best book by Joanne Harris, and personally, I think the movie is better. Sacrilege? Maybe - but opinion is opinion, no? And this is mine. But, I'm not going to review Chocolat. Rather, I've decided to review another book by Joanne Harris - Blackberry Wine. The ...

Premium Review Blackberry Wine - Joanne Harris: First chocolate, now wine. Absolutely marvellous! (1517 words)

For those of you that don't know, I'm a bit of a fan of books. Well reading in general actually, magazines, newspapers, crisp packets, whatever. Writing a review of a book however is a completely different kettle of fish and up until now I've been a bit chicken about doing it. I've wanted to, you know ?. I just haven't done ...

Premium Review Truly Intoxicating (659 words)
by Suzan - written on 19.11.01 (Very useful, 118 readings)
Rating:

Jay Mackintosh is a writer who is blocked. Frustrated by his stalled career, unhappy with his shallow, meaningless life and his pushy journalist girlfriend, Kerry, Jay seeks solace in the pleasures of the grape: more especially, the bottles of pungent home-made wines in his cellar, which seem to have magical properties. Wine talks, and in this ...

Premium Review Blackberry Wine - Joanne Harris: Get drunk on Blackberry Wine (745 words)

Rating:

My mum bought this book for when we went on holiday to France, and she said that it Was Really strange, but quite good, so I decided to read it as well, when we got back to England. I haven't seen chocolat or read any other books by Joanne Harris, so I cannot make a comparison, but that can be a good thing though, because I can review it as an ...

Premium Review A lot of wine and a little MAGIC (299 words)
by tracythomson - written on 28.10.01 (Very useful, 33 readings)
Rating:

After reading the first few pages for the book I was hooked. The story is 'told' by a bottle of Fleurie 1962 wine, which was bought on the year of Jay's birth. It is a tale of mystery and a little magic about Jay Mackintosh. Jay is a young boy in 1975 whoses parents are divorced and more preoccupied with their own lifes to pay much ...

Premium Review Blackberry Wine - Joanne Harris: It's just the wine talking. (1059 words)

Rating:

It was reading 'Chocolat' which encouraged me to try Joanne Harris' 'Blackberry Wine'. I had enjoyed the quirky, different feel of 'Chocolat' and hoped to find more of the same. "Touching, funny and clever" is how the Daily Telegraph describe 'Blackberry Wine'. "Strange, weird and ...

Premium Review Magic and Much Much More!!! (518 words)

Rating:

Having seen Chocolat and not yet read the book I saw this book and thought it better to read a book which I hadn't seen a film production of first. I selected Blackberry Wine having remmebered the sensation of Chocolat and the real taste as you watched the film. Being a lover of French Wine and France I thought that this book could ...

Premium Review Blackberry Wine - Joanne Harris: Magical fruit (256 words)
by athena - written on 05.09.01 (Useful, 26 readings)
Rating:

After reading Chocolat I swiftly moved on to Blackberry Wine, and could not have been more delighted. I love this book; it is my favourite book without a doubt. It tells of Jay, a writer with a failing relationship who hasn't been able to get the creative juices flowing really since his first book about an old friend he would give anything to ...

Crowned Review Magical spuds! (1181 words)
by KingHerrod - written on 13.06.01 (Very useful, 184 readings)
Rating:

There is a vicious perception that Joanne Harris is a girls author, she writes books aimed at the female audience. Poppy cock is what I say to that. Joanne Harris writes thoughtful novels, in a wonderfully indulgent style (guys appreciate literature too you know), so ignore the perception and give the lady a go. Semi-rant over, lets ...
