101.Not Dead Enough by: Peter James November 22, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.49 You Save: £3.50 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.01
This was the first Peter James novel I have read, and it really didn't disappoint in any area! The plot was fast, the attention to detail superb, and I just didn't want to put the book down. The character descriptions were so spot on, especially 'Potting' the un-PC DC! The frustrations of the Police doing all they can to outwit a serial killer were true to form, the chase to catch him had me on the edge of my seat ( first time ever in a book) if this is your first PJ book, you will not be left in any doubt buy his others! I am! Brilliant!!!

102.Midnight's Children (Vintage Classics) by: Salman Rushdie May 01, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.79 You Save: £3.20 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.51
It's hard to live up to the "Booker of Bookers" tag but this comes nowhere near. Rushdie can write: bursts of compelling narrative display that. Unfortunately the whole story is trussed up in that clever "flash-back", "flash-forward" conceit which eventually bored me. No, I didn't finish it. I got a little further than I did with Ulysses, but eventually hurled this into the same Pseud Bin. I've read somewhere that the author intends the time switching to be like the digressions of an oral storyteller but I think that's like trying to capture ballet in a poem or the moon in a bucket. The device is overused and tiresome. Want a Third World Magic Realism Family Saga? try "House of the Spirits".

103.Revolutionary Road by: Richard Yates December 13, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.79 You Save: £3.20 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.50
There are few writers that can match Yates and this story, of the few I've read (I've resisted the desperate urge to devour them all too quickly) excels beyond so many other writer's work. The comparison drawn with Fitzgerald is right but I would say that Yates is better, more consistent. If you find Fitzgerald frustrating, Yates will show you why better than anyone; if you love Fitzgerald, you will worship this! If you like your books beautifully moving, exquisitely sad and sensual with sharp, dark humour that bites, then it doesn't get better than this. Yates' writing never puts a foot a wrong and from the outset you know you are in safe hands. It's one that shifts your perspective on life and left me fizzing for months, thankful that I found it and disappointed ... Read More:

104.Now, Discover Your Strengths: How to Develop Your Talents and Those of the People You Manage by: Marcus Buckingham, Donald O. Clifton June 20, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £10.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.59 You Save: £4.40 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.49
The idea of the book is to help you find your talents, build your strengths, which will in turn, improve your performance. Building your strengths is indeed somthing that is often overlooked, as most of the time we seek to improve our weaknesses- that's a point well taken- and a good reason to buy the book. However two more things also need to be mentioned. First, why can't we work on building both our strengths AND our weaknesses? In other words, why do we have to necessarily pick just one? I feel that many weaknesses can be improved upon. Secondly, discovering your talents and doing what you're good at may not necessarily improve your performance. Why? Because there are lots of things we're good at, but still hate to do nonetheless. For instance, ... Read More:

105.Neris and India's Idiot-proof Diet: From Pig to Twig by: India Knight, Neris Thomas January 03, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.23 You Save: £3.76 (47%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.68
I can see how this might work for some people, but it definitely wont work for me. I have IBS which is triggered by dairy amongst other things, and a lot of these recipes have things that I cant eat suxh as butter and cream, although they do sound tasty. However, my main concern with this book is the misleading information. Reference to good fats in butter and double cream, in my opinion, is complete nonsense. The fats found here are saturated fats, the bad kind. The 'good fats', or fatty acids, that are an essential part of our diet are found in foods such as nuts, avocados, olive oil and oily fish, NOT butter and cream. I think Neris and India should have put a bit more research into this before misleading their readers. That said, there are some good ... Read More:

106.A Killing Frost by: R.D. Wingfield October 09, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.86 You Save: £3.13 (45%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.35
Its sad that this will be the last Frost book but lovely to be able to say that Mr Wingfield went out on a high. This is the real Frost, not the somewhat sanitised TV version, rude, crude and full of piss and vinegar. Frost and his nemesis, Superintendent Mullett, battle it out to the end in a multilayered story that makes one laugh and cringe in equal amounts.

107.The Lovely Bones by: Alice Sebold June 06, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.94 You Save: £4.05 (51%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.01
This was an easy read and held my attention long enough that it became a very fast one, too. I read, more or less, everything and anything, but The Lovely Bones wasn't one I was itching to read and probably wouldn't have been read at all if it hadn't been for all the hype and a bargain carboot buy. (Incidentally, you can tell which books are the result of media hype because of what you find at our local carboot. In my town, there is no book shop, but almost every box of books had a book by Dan Brown, Jody Picoult or Alice Sebold in.) The story itself was OK, in a shrug, pull-a-face sort of way. I recommended it to my Mum, who loves these sorts of grim-reality books, and said she could keep it. So make what you will of that. At least, like some books I`ve read in the past, I don't ...

108.Don't Make Me Think!: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability by: Steve Krug September 08, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £24.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £14.94 You Save: £10.05 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £11.75
One of the best book I have read this year. Gives you all the basics on usability, how to understand people and how they use websites. It's a must buy as it will be useful for almost everything in business. Don't make people think, due to internet we switch attention so quickly!

109.India (Lonely Planet Country Guide) by: Joe Bindloss, Sarina Singh, Rafael Wlodarski, Amy Karafin, Paul Harding, Lindsay Brown, Mark Elliott, Simon Richmond, Virginia Jealous, Tom Spurling September 01, 2007

and the best guide I've come across for India. Packed with detail and a reasonable cultural/ historical introduction. Maps are great, the timetables are pretty accurate, the opening times and prices are correct... There are some very bad LP guides out there. Vietnam springs to mind. But LP India has been consistently good throughout the years. I think I've used 4 versions of the guidebook and have been pleased with the improvements everytime. Obviously the negativities are that it is pretty big but how else are you supposed to cram in all that information.

Educational and funny. I learnt that a VVank seance is "the feeling you get when /\/\asturbating that your dead relatives are watching you in disgust."
