1.Revelation (Matthew Shardlake 4) by: C.J. Sansom April 04, 2008

This, the fourth novel concerning Matthew Shardlake, is superb. The characters are more developed (and the longer the series go on, the bigger and more developed the supporting cast becomes). The plot is cleverer and different - here we see Shardlake dealing with a serial killer, and although the politicians are involved this is a different kettle of fish to the rebellions and political plots that our favourite hunch-backed Tudor lawyer has found himself involved in before. And in my opinion it's for the better - C J Sansom's writing has always been addictive (but not in an obtrusive way) and has always had totally convincing historical contexts (at least to a moderately informed one such as I). But in the past the plots have been ... Read More:

This story for me of Jess a teacher who is attacked by someone she has known and trusted for along time was a scary beginning, then the ghosts take over and she finds herself in Rome seeking Eigon a girl from the past who also has been attacked, the description of Rome, you actually feel as if you are there with them, this for me was on par with lady of the hay, i read it in a week i ate, slept and dreamt about it, fans of Barbara Erskine will not be dissapointed. I wait in awe for her next one.

An excellent book telling of the mutiny. Whilst the book almost neglects the natives this isn't fiction dressed up as colonial propaganda. This is an incredibly humorous tale of a group of Englishmen trapped within a residency, besieged by a whole host of natives. As the siege progresses civilization, science and religion are all discussed along with the odd smattering of phrenology. An incredibly entertaining book and one very worth reading.

I bought this book based on a recent poll of top books for children and I was not disappointed. At the time my daughter was 14 months old and so I was a little concerned it would be too old for, how wrong could I be. The first time I read it to her was the first time she sat through a whole book. She then urged me to read it twice more. It is now a firm family favourite and I have sent many copies to friends and family as gifts.

I do agree with Barks. When is the next one going to be published? This series of books throws some light on the Dark Ages amidst high adventure. Plenty of blood and gore and a superb story with some twists to keep the reader page turning.

6.The Boleyn Inheritance by: Philippa Gregory May 01, 2007

I'm a recent newcomer to the work of Phillipa Gregory, having read The Other Boleyn Girl following it on with this. I haven't been disappointed with either book. This one was my favourite though - not least because it was written with 3 different narrative heads and it really made me reassess my opinions of the middle two of Henry's wives. Obviously, as wtith any work of historical fiction there will be a certain amount of artistic license used, but you can't help feeling in many ways Gregory is spot on with her characterisations of Katherine Howard and Anne of Cleves. I actually found myself really feeling for both of them and their situations, Anne of Cleves was always my favourite of the 6 wives anyway and this just made me like her more. Katherine Howard is portrayed ... Read More:

8.The Constant Princess by: Philippa Gregory May 02, 2006

like other reviewers i have read most of Philippa Gregory's previous novels and was hoping that this one would be as absorbing as "The Queen's fool" and "The Boleyn inheritance". But I have to agree with the majority verdict that it is boring and repetitious - her constancy and her Spanish ancestry was harped upon throughout the novel. But I did find Katherine believable so it was really annoying that she finished the book where she did ( I'm not saying where as I don't want to spoil it for others) and then tacked a small piece on the end. The book would have been much better had there been less of Catalina/Katherine's childhood and then she could have covered all of her life. Not one of her best
