'You've gone all fat and complacent because you've got your man, haven't you?' This outrageous suggestion is met with indignation from Polly Penhalligan, recently married, trying for a baby and blissfully happy in her beautiful manor farmhouse in Cornwall. At least, she was, until she is forced to realise that her idyllic life of gorging on chocolate biscuits, counting her endless blessings and not getting dressed until lunchtime could be having a few unwelcome side effects. So Polly decides to razz things up a bit - and agrees to allow her home to be used as a location for an advert. Having a glamorous film crew around should certainly put something of a bomb under rural life, shouldn't it? But even before the cameras have been set up, Polly's marriage has been turned upside down. This time, it seems, she's gone too far...

READING THIS WILL WASTE 15 HRS OF YOUR LIFE - TRY OTHER'S,
By
This review is from: Going Too Far (Paperback)
tHIS SHOULD GET A MINUS 2. but amazon doesn't have that score. It annoy's me that alliot's characters always bite a certain nail, or lick their lips under stress.
Rosie Meadows Regrets and The Wedding day were really good, intelligent and realistic. But with "Going too Far" alliot has gone from being fresh milk, to being the dodgy milk that was past its use by date a decade ago. Please don't read "going too far" by alliot - I can assure you, you'll waste 10 - 15 hours of your life on absolute unbelievable fairy floss, and a character that licks her lips, 152 times in the book. Yes, it was so bad ... you start actually remembering the flaws, the main character was dumber than dumb, and so completely stupid, that if I met her in the street, I'd want to punch her teeth out, and I've never ever done one violent act in my life. alliot was obviously on a 3 book deal or something from her publisher, and to fulfil her contract "going too far" was the one - a complete and utter load of crap. If she was not an acknowled author, I can assure you, this manuscript would've been binned, and I wish it had. A waste of trees to print complete non-inspired, non-interesting rubbish. The female lead had the intelligence of an 8 year old, and was too scared to speak when asked, then had to endured the consequences of knowing what really happened, but being too scared to speak to it to her loving husband and straigten it out within the first 5 mins, instead, - we get this extrememly basic contrived soap opera conflict - and boy, WAS IT BORING AND TEDIOUS. When yes, after about 400 pages, she actually does stop licking her lips, biting her nail, and lay the deal straight to hubby, this should really be 13 yrs old teenie fiction. Not adult fiction. it was so embarrassingly trite and childish, I will never read one of her books again, what a scammy author. She must think her readers are so stupid, that we'd take this juvenile rubbish, read it and like it and buy more of her books? Nah, GOING TOO FAR was so bad, I'm ashamed to have stuck with it, on the hope that "it may get better towards the end". It didn't. Bin this book if you have it, you'll embarrass your mates by sharing it with them, its THAT bad.
