This isn't the sort of book I would normally choose to read but something drew me to it and all the great reviews I had seen encouraged me to buy it. The author certainly did well with her characterisation, I felt so sorry for poor, mixed up Lewis, and his father was so cold and distant; also Alice was well portrayed, fairly well meaning but perhaps a little lazy or selfish to follow it through when the going got tough, which it frequently did. This is a very sad book about a once happy carefree little boy whose life takes a downward spiral after a family tragedy, and he never recovers from it, largely due to the lack of support and comfort, and how it drives him to certain disturbing actions. I have to be honest and ... Read More:

2.No Time For Goodbye by: Linwood Barclay June 12, 2008

I'm with the reviews that say this book was very promising, but doesn't live up to its potential. The first half of the book was excellent - the action starts immediately, sucking the reader in; as the drama unfolds the plot seems to thicken, with some moments that were truly chilling to the bone. There was never a moment where I felt bored as the story moves with breakneck speed, and I managed to finish in one sitting. The second half of the book was, however, a letdown. The story, while it cleverly ties up all the loose ends together, starts to border on the ridiculous in its incredulity and some of the characters seem to have been created for the sole purpose of slotting into the jigsaw very conveniently. Indeed, the story may ... Read More:

3.The Book Thief by: Markus Zusak January 01, 2008

My mum gave me this book to read, which is usual a bad sign, but I have throughly enjoyed it. Death is the narrator, which should be depressing, but in a weird way it's uplifting. It's a wonderful story about an horrific time and I'm surprised by how much I loved it!

4.East of the Sun by: Julia Gregson June 12, 2008

Julia Gregson has written an intriguing novel that grips one to the very end. The characters, including peripheral ones, are vividly drawn and the plot lines are as lively and dramatic as they are diverse. One really cares what happens to the heroines, indeed, it becomes quite worrying at times. The colourful detail draws quite stunning pictures for the reader.

5.A Thousand Splendid Suns by: Khaled Hosseini May 22, 2007

having read Kite Runner I wasnt expecting, but was hoping for another brilliantly thought provoking emotional book- and thats what I got. Simply fantastic. I cried, I smiled, it made me think. You have to read this.

6.A Quiet Belief in Angels by: R.J. Ellory January 02, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.47 You Save: £4.52 (57%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.96
GREAT BOOK. Don't take any notice of the negative reviews. Its a very unusual "crime" novel and beatifully written. Needs time to read properly but it does grip from the beginning and the macabre content is sufficiently offbeat to make it a real page turner. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who simply likes a good story. Christine Smythe

7.The Private Lives of Pippa Lee by: Rebecca Miller June 12, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.86 You Save: £4.13 (52%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.50
I started The Private Lives of Pippa Lee late one evening, expecting something fluffy and satisfying. Three hours later, in the small hours of the morning, I was smiling and crying and laughing and cringing . . . and totally satisfied. What an entrancing little book - sharp and sweet and wise. It reminded me that all of us women - friends, mothers, grandmothers, the woman next to you at the bus stop - have intense, imaginative, sensuous and private lives. A brilliant beach book, Mother's Day book, book to share with friends . . . and of course, I can't wait to see the movie . . .

I picked this book up, read a couple of pages and couldnt put it down. A truly moving story of the different lives of two boys. What a fantastic author Khaled Hosseini is, he brings the story alive. I didnt want the book to end.The 2nd best book I have ever read. Caz

James Bradley has succeeded in creating one of the creepiest novels I have ever read. If you like really dark shady characters then this should be right up your street. I was hooked on this right from the start. Probably the most chilling read I've had this year. Not for the faint-hearted though!

I enjoyed 'Things can only get better' so when I saw this book at the airport I picked it up for a 'beach read" and became one of those annoying people who makes you take your earphones out so they can read you side-splitting extracts, except you can't hear them properly through the giggles. Not only is this the funniest book I've read for years, it's also the saddest and most thought-provoking. Every teenager should be excused from history lessons and given a copy of this book instead, it should be available without prescription at chemists (and opticicians in large print), it should be set out in churches of all denominations instead of prayer books. I cried at many points, not just from laughing too much, and the summary of WW2 is so sage and poignant I won't let ... Read More:
