211.Pigs in Heaven by: Barbara Kingsolver
1994-06
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Books : Pigs in Heaven
I just finished reading "Pigs in Heaven" by Barbara Kinsolver. I didn't read the prequel to it, but I have to say that this book even by itself was a wonderful book. I really enjoyed it. It was a touching story that left you beging for more at the end.

Books : The Fourth Protocol
I'm reading my Freddie Forsyth novels in sequence. This is his fifth thriller, and it maintains the even standard of excellence he established with his first and seminal work The Day of the Jackal.

Like Forsyth's other novels, The Fourth Protocol really seizes your attention, and like the other novels again, it does so gradually, like the slow crushing motion of a car compressor. The technique is the same. It is the detail that creates the clear images and the authenticity, and really you are inside what seems like a terrifying documentary. After this decade's developments in international terrorism one realises how far ahead of the game Forsyth is here with his portable nuclear plot.

What really works for him, as ... Read More:

214.Significant Others by: Armistead Maupin
2007-06
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

>>More Details
Books : Significant Others
Significant Others is just one in the Tales of the City series of books. The whole 'Tales' series is absolutely amazing and you'll find it difficult to put them down once you've started reading.
The chapters are very short which means that these books are perfect for reading on the tube or when you have only a short time to read in one sitting. Each chapter will generally focus on a specific character in the book of which there are several and these are followed throughout the whole series.

Do start with 'Tales of the City' book first, as the books do run in sequence.

The first three books have been made into films and part of them were screened on television several years ago. However the DVD's are available on amazon.com ... Read More:

217.Falcon at the Portal by: Elizabeth Peters

Books : Falcon at the Portal

Elizabeth Peters was born and brought up in Illinois and earned her Ph.D. in Egyptology from the University of Chicago's famed Oriental Institute. Peters was named Grand Master at the inaugural Anthony Awards in 1986 and Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America at the Edgar Awards in 1998. She lives in a historic farmhouse in western Maryland.

The Amelia Peabody books may or may not be an acquired taste, personally I love them. They are set in Victorian times when there were still very strict rules of etiquette and polite behaviour was the norm. Although most of the books are set in Egypt, in the desert under very trying conditions and extremely hot weather the `English' way of life was still expected to be adhered to, sometimes ...

Books : Sleep Pale Sister
Joanne Harris says the book was re-published due to demand. I wonder who from? One of the main characters is an artist who is some kind of paedophile ('He likes children, he picks the youngest' when he visits the brothel). We are supposed to believe that he doesn't even recognise it is his wife he is visiting at the brothel. Her mind/body have been taken over by the brothel madame's dead daughter in a bid for revenge. There's also a plot to kill Mr Chester (as his wife must call him). It's load of nonsense. Like another reviewer, I had to keep checking the front cover to see if this was a Joanna Harris novel, but for a different reason.

Note to established authors, do not agree to have your early novels published/re-published until you are 100% ... Read More:
