I'm au fait, as you put it, enough to be dangerous so much so, that I soon realized the ability to cross pollinate to any "I" device (I phone, I pad, etc).
The old lady has an I-pad which has a larger screen than a phone.
I just finished Chapter 4. I'll save comments to the end.

I'm not into gadgetry but I know someone who has an I pad and they seem to be larger than an e-reader, so reading books from them should be easier.
Saving comments to the end is probably best as the story tends to leap around and has certain mood changes.

The evil one read three chapters of A Tangled Web three or so days ago and has not touched any book since (she reads off and on) but has now just tip-toed passed me and picked up 'Pedigree Mum'. Odds on bet landed.

:lol: How could anyone hope to compete with Pedigree Mum? The title appears to be taken from the dog food 'Pedigree Chum' but I'm not going to let it spoil my day.

As one might expect, most of the reviews are from women such as 'Megan Reading InTheSunshine (England)' and I'm desperately trying to find where in England Megan lives, as it seems like an eternity since I was last reading in the sunshine.


Here's what appears to be the only male review:

This review is from Pedigree Mum (Kindle Edition)

good read my wife says iun ohv k ;k kj k jk inj oij oi oi jkkk ;k h bgj k n

Was this review helpful to you?

:lol: That's the one. The male review about sums it up I bet!

I got her to read another chapter though Mrs N has read up to the Desert Island Disk episode. I think it will lose out to Pedigree Chum, sorry, mum, though. Never mind, as predicted.

Good news, I now have it thanks to Qimmisung's approach. I purchased a Kindle app for my phone then purchased through Amazon and downloaded to phone.

I'm glad you enjoyed reading it and thanks for the review. It's good to know that, so far, it has received a positive response although , while I agree that Jolyon Westgate's views on music correlate closely to my own, there will never be a photograph of me wearing a suspender belt or other item of women's clothing. :lol:
Your video of the 'rock opera' seemed to be some sort of fashion show although the youth with the guitar slots perfectly into Hugh MacGregor's explanation in the book:

"Then there’s the individual psyche to consider. Creating a spectacle by jumping around and making as much noise as possible, induces the listener to instinctively identify with someone who is getting a fortune for doing something that even he could do." :yesnod:

RE: gadgetry. I took a photo of the I-Pad with a random page from your book including an example of a highlite. I noticed an option for adding notes but have not explored that. The distortion of the text was intentional.

Hopefully the review some sense as I'm not classically trained in the literary arts. I was amused at the rock opera angle in the book and thought of the Who's "Tommy" rock opera which I do enjoy the album. The movie was quite a different story, although the part with Ann Margret squirming around in gallons of Pork & Beans is pretty hot.

Apart from my PC I don't have any digital gadgetry so I wouldn't know where to start with apps and I-pads, but it obviously came in useful in allowing you to access the novel.

I had great fun with the 'rock opera' angle and, although Wally Finkelstein is my own creation, Lord Redstone and Gerald Silberman are based on real people, while Ricky Sampson and the Mashed Potatoes could have been almost any pop group of the period. I know I shouldn't laugh at my own jokes but the scene where Wally Finkelstein tries to get Jerome Wakefield to plug Ricky's 'Rock Opera' still makes me laugh.
