I gather that Mrs Ian Hislop's husband is none other than the Editor of Private Eye, which perhaps accounts for the reason why this book was published. As a piece of writing it has no merits and I have yet to meet anyone who, having read it, actually enjoyed it. It is a given that to get published these days you have to either be a journalist or be married to one.

AS has surpassed my expectations in her lastest offering - having devoured and loved her previous novels, I did not think she could pull it off a third time. But, clearly, she has... Told over the 24hr period after she murders her mother, we zip backwards and forwards in time, spanning Helen's lifetime and trying to discover how she came to make the decisions she has. The characterisation is flawless and utterly believable and the narrative, as always, is magical in it's observations of everyday life and emotions. I whizzed through this book in a day and a half and was completely pleased by the pace, the style, the story and the outcome. Perfection between pages...

A very good plot, and well up to the usual standard of Rankin's powers of perceptive and descriptive writing, but let down, I think, by a somewhat lame ending. Admittedly, it's difficult to know how he could think of a finale which would appeal to all readers, but having just finished reading it about an hour ago, I can't help feeling a bit "flat".

An astounding book. A riveting portrait of fraility and self-doubt full of drama and pace and tragedy. I have little idea who most of these people are but was utterly gripped by the sheer power of the prose. Just amazing.

In this brilliant novel we get to see three women, one evil and guilt stricken the other shy and gullible, and the third women young beautiful and vain. After reading the other Boleyn girl thirst, I was able to understood the true cruelty of Jane Boleyn (lady rochford) in this book once again she only thinks of herself , she befriends both of henrys new queens with only her interest in mind. She is most obsessed with Anne Boleyn and her brother George Boleyn. She feels the guilt as it was her who help put both brother and sister to death. She is a jealous vile women who gets her just deserts as someone uses her to his own advantage, giving her hopes and dreams and then easily taking it away from her. Anne of Cleves ... Read More:

I have now read all five of Gregory's novels set in the Tudor court. This was the last one I read and, I think, my favourite. It is the story of Katherine of Aragon, formerly Catalina, the Spanish princess, told mostly from her perspective. Gregory opens the book with some scenes set in Spain, when Catalina was very young, giving the girl some background and showing how her family and upbringing affected and shaped her as a person and character. Then we move forward to when she comes to England to marry Arthur, Henry VIII older brother and the heir to the throne. Gregory's original take on their doomed marriage is incredibly moving and makes for a very good novel, which wouldn't have been very compelling otherwise. In her version, the pair fall ...

A nice and quick read for those of a racier nature. There are several short stories to wet your appetite or anything else! Thoroughly enjoy this book.

119.On the Road (Penguin Modern Classics) by: Jack Kerouac February 24, 2000

I first read this book when I was 18 years old and as cliched as it may sound it changed my entire outlook on life. It illustrated to me that rebellion and individuality are the best of things and that even in a world as violent and corrupt as this one, love and friendship can still prosper. The visceral and profound honesty with which Kerouac writes takes the reader to the heart of the action and the unrelenting pace of the narrative propels one on and on, just like Sal and Dean themselves are propelled to "go go go". No literature fan can afford not to read this all time great, that Kerouac never really came close to matching. Simply beautiful.

This book was recommened to me by friends, and I am so glad that I took their advice and read this. It is one of my favourite books of all time. I just loved it so much, I found it really interesting to see the story unfold from the perspective from Annes sister, and experience the life of the court through her eyes. Luckily I read this book before I saw the movie otherwise I never would have bothered with it. The history might not be 100% accurate but its so well written and enjoyable that I didn't care and just enjoyed the novel at face value. Highly recommended!!
