Updated: We have now had out meeting for the book 'I heart New York'. The questions we have used for this book are those found on 'Book-Club-Queen's website.
The list of discussion questions for book club success:
Many of the group found the main character, Angela interesting but not because of her but of her actions and her never ending bank account. Like with many stories the character although was thoughtful about her income wasn't as concerned with it as we as readers would be but, I suppose that is what helps the story moving along.
What passage from the book stood out to you?
The girls at the group decided that the passage that stood out for them the most was the passage describing 'the gig'. They said that it was quite true to form and then began to reminisce about gigs they too had been too.
Are there situations and/or characters you can identify with, if so how?
Two of the members of the group have recently been to New York together and they could fully understand and join in with the main characters description of the New York skyline. Another member found that the torn between the two men situation was something that they could identify with.
Did you learn something you didn’t know before?
As a new member of the club L learnt about the infamous shoes 'Louboutin'.
Do you feel as if your views on a subject have changed by reading this text?
We felt as a group that our views hadn't really changed on the areas read in the book but it did help us to understand points of view from both sides.
Have you had a life changing revelation from reading this text?
Everyone was fully agreed on this one - No.
What major emotion did the story evoke in you as a reader?
Again everyone was in together on this one - Envy! Envy at being able to start again and not really having to worry about the daily grind and money.
At what point in the book did you decide if you liked it or not? What helped make this decision?
For K and D this was definitely when the book delved into the description of New York.
Name your favourite thing overall about the book. Your least favourite?
The whole idea of starting again rang loud with the book clubbers this month and again the fact that it was set in NY for D and K but not so much so for C. L found the book to be 'girly' and not her usual read but enjoyed it anyway.
If you could change something about the book what would it be and why?
We all agreed that we liked the ending and would not change that. We may have changed the character Jenny as we found her to be very extreme. Also Angela's naivety about her blog!
Who is it for? Girls off to the Big Apple and those who want a giggle.
Score: 7/10
