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?
01:37 Yeah, yeah, at weekends.
