21.Batman: Dark Knight Returns (Batman) by: Frank Miller May 16, 1997

In all types of history there are defining moments. A moment that is so extraordinary that you have to see it again to believe what you have just seen. It sometimes takes time for the dust to settle to appreciate such a moment. This comic is one of those moments. The Dark Knight Returns took a tired out superhero genre and re-injected it with the modern paced style we see today. A comic that in fact saved the superhero himself. The multi-layering of story lines in this epic tale is almost cinematic in its construction. Maybe a little dated now, but at the time it re-defined everything in comics and the way superheroes where percieved. If you are a fan of Batman, this should be the cornerstone to your collection.

22.Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (Persephone Classics) by: Winifred Watson April 24, 2008

Like almost everyone, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I am a great admirer of the actress Frances McDormand and I think she may excel as Miss Pettigrew if the screen adaptation lives up to the speed and panache of the original story. Yes, ... the original story ... It is definitely of the Cindrella variety and none the worse for that. Some have seen the influence of others in its origins - but none has yet pointed out the faint echoes of a memorable short story by W.S. Maugham about the unexpected London triumph, both social and sartorial, of a mature widow called "Jane". Now I don't exactly remember the date of Somerset Maugham's story (it may have been written before Miss Watson's or afterwards) and so one may have influenced the other to a ... Read More:

I think this book is really well written, without being plodding. I love the way she discribes people and places. The relationships with her children being so very different. How the way her mother treated her affected the way she treated her own daughter, holding her at arms length. Maybe you have to be a "certain age" to truly appreciate it? I loved the end, the "twist" and how it all turned out. Can't wait to see the film.

24.A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose by: Eckhart Tolle June 29, 2006

I was given this by someone who saw Oprah raving about it and bought two copies in a state of excitement. I thought that the first three pages were quite good then was extremely disappointed as the rest went no further than to rehash Buddhism. My overriding concern is Tolle's continual denigration of the ego and his attempts to persuade us that if we could just annihilate any sense of being an individual or having individual thoughts or preferences we could all acheive permanent bliss. In fact, if we all followed this advice we would all coagulate in one big splurge of mush as no one would be allowed a personality at all. This kind of spirituality feels very uncomfortable. I have always believed that the ego is a misunderstood beast and gets ... Read More:

Often I read reviews on Amazon, where people have generally liked a novel, and there is one where the reviewer writes 'I must be missing something', or words to that effect. Well in the case of this novel, I must be that person, because I don't understand all the hype about it at all. I just about forced myself to finish it as I was (just) interested enough to read the end, but only just. I kept thinking there must be some amazing twists in the plot to come, but they never arrived, and I had already realised what some of the outcomes were going to be earlier on in the book. This isn't a problem if the writing itself is stylish and the tale enthralling enough to keep one reading whether you have worked out the plot in advance or not, but in this case I don't ...

26.Superior Saturday (The Keys to the Kingdom) by: Garth Nix July 01, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £5.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £2.99 You Save: £3.00 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.00
Arthur Penhaligan's week is almost over, but unfortunately it's not getting any better. Not for him, and not for the House. In fact, just about everything is tumbling down in the penultimate book of Garth Nix's Keys to the Kingdom series, "Superior Saturday," in which Arthur finally encounters the malevolent sorceress who's been messing things up throughout the series. It's a suitably chaotic and haunting story, and Arthur's internal struggles and new discoveries are a pretty fascinating read -- but don't expect it to really end on anything but a massive cliffhanger. Arthur receives an emergency call from his brother, who warns him that the Army is about to nuke their entire town. Desperate, Arthur tries to shield the town, but instead ends up slowing ...

27.An Utterly Impartial History of Britain: (or 2000 Years of Upper Class Idiots in Charge) by: John O'Farrell May 05, 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: £3.98
You can't help learning something with this book. it's well written, intelligent, funny, utterly impartial of course, and full of all the stuff you slept thru at school made interesting. just back from 2-weeks in northern France i was a fount of knowledge about William the Conqueror, Richard the Lion Heart, Normans, and English and French royalty. And the most important thing i feel is that i have left this book with an interest awakened in the world around me rather than viewing the history of our country and it's neighbours as a subject i didn't take beyond GCSE. Just what i was waiting for without realising it :)

28.Vegetable Growing Month-by-month: The Down-to-earth Guide That Takes You Through the Vegetable Year by: John Harrison March 13, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £5.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.79 You Save: £1.20 (20%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.07
This is a brilliant and very cheap little book. It doesn't take much reading and has all the area you could require for a simple garden. The A-Z of vegetables is clear; just what is needed to go with the month by month guide. It is also helpful to deal with any problems one might come across. All together a well rounded book! Some of the diagrams would perhaps benefit from some colour though. Carla x

29.Wife in the North by: Judith O'Reilly July 03, 2008

I haven't even finished the book and feel compelled to write a review, partly to defend Judith against the nasty ones here complaining about her running out of petrol. I have had a few of those for my own books, one even complaining that I have a husband called Rupert! This is a really great read. There is so much to relate to, to laugh at and to sympathise with. Judith writes brilliantly, her style is totally addictive and she has a really poignant way of expressing things, especially her feelings for her children. I hope this book does really well, it deserves to. So what if she doesn't know where the nearest garage is?

30.The Final Reckoning by: Sam Bourne August 04, 2008

Sam Bourne's latest novel as at its heart the darkest event of the twentieth century- that of the Holocaust and its subsequent repercussions. Here fact and fiction are skillfully intertwined in a way that compels the reader to keep reading until well in the early hours. The dark subject matter, however, is what stays with the reader well after the last page has been read.
