00:00 It's got my holidays and I got halfway through it and I'm nearly finished it now.

00:04 I've been home a week and I haven't read much since I've come back.

00:06 What's it about?

00:07 Oh, it's about... It starts off where the girl, this five-year-old girl, locks herself in a cupboard

00:14 because her brother has just murdered her parents.

00:18 Ooh!

00:18 And then it jumps and she's had such a traumatic life that her brother actually never died.

00:25 He got killed in a car... He got... Sorry, killed.

00:27 He got hurt in a car crash and he's been in a coma ever since.

00:30 What's it called again?

00:31 I think it's called something...

00:33 The Red House.

00:33 The Red House, yes.

00:35 And what do you like about it?

00:37 Oh, it's a bit different, very different. Yeah, it's unusual.

00:41 So now she's been asked to save her brother because although they think he's been in a coma all this time,

00:47 he can move his eyes and the rest of the family want to finish him off because her grandma's died

00:55 and so they'll get the money for the house and she doesn't want to do that

00:59 because she used to love her brother, wasn't she, before she was alive?

01:02 But he murdered her parents.

01:04 A little light reading.

01:05 It's not a light reading book, no.

01:08 Lovely.

01:09 So what book are you reading at the moment?

01:13 I'm not reading any book at all. Not really read one since I was at school.

01:19 Not really much free time. We're running about with football training and such things, ferrying the kids about.

01:28 Do you have any free time?

01:30 Not much. It's been pretty much watching football.

01:35 Do you watch it on the telly as well?
