WelshHelen (United Kingdom) (2011/03/09): Certainly not my favourite Joanne Harris book, I found Coastliners painfully slow at times. The characters didn't grab me (unlike those in Blackberry Wine or Gentlemen & Players, for example) and therefore I didn't particularly care what happened to them or their part of the island. Things did improve in the second part and it's thanks to Harris' easy, fluent writing style that I got that far.
