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 just finished this book and, after Dissolution, I am well and truly addicted to this series. I really like the lead character of Matthew Shardlake and the other characters in this and the previous book. Will be starting on Sovereign asap and can't wait to read Revelation from what I've read on Amazon about that story. There seems to be a plethora of murder-thriller type books set in the 15th-16th century around at the moment but this is without doubt the best of them all.

83.The Alchemist: A Fable About Following Your Dream by: Paulo Coelho September 06, 1999

I read this because it appeared on the BBC 100 Best Reads list and had some good reviews. I was rather disappointed to say the least. The writing style is simple and lacking in depth, although it may just not translate well. The story is a parable with a message about 'following one's dream'. Although this message is repeated frequently the story line is a bit forced and ends as something of a shaggy dog story. It's a bit like a cross between an Aesop's fable and a self-help book, with a bit of half-baked philosophy in the mix. I think it would appeal to older children and those who like something cheerful and unchallenging.

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!!

85.Centurion (Roman Legion 8) by: Simon Scarrow August 07, 2008

The sign of a good book is the inability to put it down. Unfortunately I spent more time putting it down than picking it up. The hardback took me an age to read - in fact I have just finished it and was sorely disappointed. The problem is it is distinctly average, nothing really surprising happens. Yes theres some exciting set pieces, but they are just that ... set pieces, set in motion by some cosmic deus ex machina. Scarrow is certainly the weakest of the popular historical writers, Iggulden and, especially, Cornwell both write far superior novels. If you have nothing else to read ... go for it. If you have some other books in a pile, then i'd leave it.

87.Deadline by: Simon Kernick July 14, 2008

Simon Kernick writes books that start like a Bugatti Veyron, going from 0 to 100 in 6 seconds flat. Deadline is an excellent, well paced thriller that will grab and hold your attention from the very first chapter, when Andrea Devern arrives home to find her husband and daughter missing. Almost immediately she received a phone call telling her that her daughter has been kidnapped. Is her husband involved? Who can she turn to for help? What should she do now? When I read the synopsis of this book I thought that it was going to be a lot like Kernick's previous novel, Relentless, which also opens with a missing spouse, but it's actually quite different (although both feature policeman Mike Bolt). I really liked Relentless, but I think that this ... 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 very ...

A wonderful read aloud for 1 and 2 year olds. Lovely illustrations and nice story but just doesn't quite have the pazzazz of the gruffalo and her other books (we own the lot). Too basic for my four year old but my one year old really enjoys it.

The Island was a fab read, and actually inspired me to visit Crete(and Spinalonga),and The Return has done the same thing..Im off to Granada next week!!I just love the way Victoria Hislop transports you to where the story is set in a most realistic way and I was so engrossed in the whole story.It was interesting to find out about the attrocities that happened within the civil war and how it affected normal families. The Ramirez family story was touching, how they were all so different in their views and lifestyles,as would be in any family,but that these differences led to tragedies!Mercedez story showed how her love of dancing helped her through everything during her life,all the sadness and heartache,but she also had happiness.I enjoyed this book thoroughly and though ...
