The Girl with Glass Feet by Ali Shaw

This book is literally about a girl with glass feet. Which is, of course, completely ridiculous. If you are willing (100% willing) to suspend all your disbelief then this book is an average read. If not, I would avoid this unless you enjoy regularly sighing in exasperation and saying to the nearest person "can you believe this bit?"

Basically, a girl turns into glass whilst falling in love with a clearly mentally ill photographer who tries to get her help from a man who looks after a herd of flying cows. Like I said, completely ridiculous.

Nevertheless, it is fairly easy to read and pretty quick and a lot better than the other completely ridiculous novel of recent times - the one which is literally about a woman married to a man who travels through time. There is no punchline.

In summary, don't rush out to buy it but you can't go too far wrong with this as a beach read or if you are stuck in an airport and have to choose between this and The Iliad. In Greek. This will be more entertaining (unless you read Greek).
