Well, that was unexpected. I not only have one, but two book reviews in today's Star. The other review is for Wally Lamb's Hour I First Believed.
I only noticed when I went out to get my own deadtree copy. I'd have noticed sooner though if only Google Alerts wasn't being so choosy...
Anyways! A few months ago, I was given an advanced review copy (or as they call it, ARC) of Wally Lamb's Hour I First Believed for review, but when I finally finished writing the review, MPH Bookstores, who provided the ARC, told me they decided not to have a promo for the book so I thought, well that's that. Maybe the review wasn't going to be published.
Turns out the Star editors turned to another bookstore to get a promo discount coupon from them instead. Neat!
So there you go. If you get a copy of today's deadtree edition of The Star, you'll get a 25% discount coupon for both Hour I First Believed, Six Suspects and even Vikas Swarup's earlier book, Slumdog Millionaire (formerly published as Q&A).

Congratulations, Ted. It happened to be the day I missed the papers but am enjoying your reviews here on the site. Good point about Oprah's book club selection...after reading your thoughts, that's another book for my shopping list!
I think you'll enjoy Wally Lamb's book although the protagonist does get a little whiny in places.
