This is the most tedious book I have ever read.I read it together with other members of a book club and nobody liked it. It was full of self pity and unlikeable characters. How it won the Booker Prize I don`t understand. At the book club we even joked about having a ritual burning of it as we disliked it so much.

I have been a fan of Barbara Erskine for around 14 years now and always look forward to her new books. This one as not let me down. The dual stories of Eigon from the past and Jess from the current are both gripping and keep you reading from front to back cover. Cant wait for the next Barbara Erskine book! Thanks.

Yep, without doubt. It's shocking, no doubt, but mainly in its inanity... The constant references to Labels, restaurants, bars and clubs, the obsession with physical fitness, the racism, the sterotypical 'Wall Street workers', the gratuitous, graphic violence and sex all become deeply tedious VERY quickly... And... as soon as they do you realise there's no story in this book. I thought I must have missed some deep meaning in this 'work', but I suspect the point the writer thought he was making is so 80s that it really doesn't have any meaning today anyway. Other reviewers talk about how it's poking fun at the Yuppies - Duh... if you don't get that in the first 3 pages you're probably ... Read More:

4.Blind Faith by: Ben Elton May 16, 2008

Ben Elton is not the writer George Orwell is. Unfortunately, he is not even a good writer. He's just a popular one. Ironically, his populist works will be read by all the people he hates in this novel. This book is simplistic - there are no literary merits, and no hidden meanings. It won't get read for a second time by anyone hoping to find a new theme. They aren't there. As others have said, there is nothing subtle or discreet here. For instance, Elton could make all kinds of comments on the nature of people who go around half naked all day long, but (apparently) the author is only disgusted by the fat ones. NOT the character, but the author. In fact, if he wants to make any individual utterly without redeeming features, ... Read More:

5.Middlemarch (Wordsworth Classics) by: George Eliot December 01, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £1.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.01
I found this book very long and dull. I enjoyed parts of the story but Often the storytelling is replaced by pages and pages of politics. It has its devotees though and is not entirely without merit so I guess all must judge for themselves. I really wanted to enjoy it but it just didn't press the right buttons for me. I couldn't reccomend it.

6.Middlesex by: Jeffrey Eugenides September 01, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.99 You Save: £3.00 (33%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.85
This is a very special book, wonderfully composed with true skill using flowing prose and marvellous insight; both researched and I suspect experienced. I feel my life has been enriched for having read it, few books have left me with such a lingering, sleep disturbing feeling of fulfilment. High Praise maybe, and the subject matter is original to say the least, but either way I would recommend this as essential reading to anyone.

7.Like Water for Chocolate by: Laura Esquivel September 16, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.99 You Save: £2.00 (25%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.87
My favourite book! The passion and ever lasting love shared between Pedro and Tita truly is magical!!

8.The Virgin Suicides by: Jeffrey Eugenides October 07, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.59 You Save: £2.40 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.00
The story of the virgin suicides is fascinating yet a little disturbing. It is written in an almost poetic way with a dash of dark humour. The story is both gripping and moving and raises certain themes which are full of deep hidden meaning and intense depth. Its a classic. It is one of my favourite books and should not be compared to your average teen book because it is so much more than that!

9.Pop Babylon by: Imogen Edwards-Jones June 30, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £12.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.99 You Save: £5.00 (38%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.80
What a great book. Imogen has not let me down. I have read all the other Babylon books and this is my 2nd best, after Beach. Written in very much the same way as her other books, really believable and leaving you wondering how much really does go on behind closed doors. IMOGEN, WE WANT MORE. Fingers crossed, she is in the midst of writing her next Babylon edition. Marcus - Brighton

Whilst i did enjoy this book it was not as good as the other books Imogen Edward-Jones has written. Still very funny and a good insight into the world with funny stories about celebs. If you enjoy this book then you will love the rest of the series
