221.The Golden One by: Elizabeth Peters 2002-05
Average Rating: >>More Details
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 ...

222.Rise and Shine by: Anna Quindlen August 31, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.19
I enjoyed this read even though the ending was a little unbelievable. It was a nice easy read for the train to work - it was an interesting topic, grabbed my attention and the chapters were a good length for a commute! I have since bought other books by Anna Quindlen and whilst I am not expecting to be swept away by great literature the topics seem to be substantial enough for a good read and thought provoking chick lit.

227.The Valkyries by: Paulo Coelho 1996-09
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.80
This was the second of Paulo's books that I have read I loved it and couldn't put it down..I was gripped from the beginning as he and his wife were driving around in suburban America when suddenly they find the majestic mojave desert. I found the narritive wonderful and Coelho describes the desert heat, and cold and strange towns and stranger people and bizzare and life threatening experiences they had, of course including spiritual experiences without which Coelho's work would not seem complete. It is written in a very 'human' way as the author was frequently irritated and annoyed as well as awe inspired in this book and it is a easy to read account of a 40 day adventure.

228.I'll Take You There by: Joyce Carol Oates 2002-09
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price:
I'll Take You There is a story divided into three sections concerning crucial stages of a girl's development and narrated in the first person by the girl, Anellia, herself. This is the same structure Joyce Carol Oates uses in her 1986 novel Marya: A Life though the stories of the two novels differ in some crucial elements. The first section, The Penitent, is primarily concerned with Anellia's torturous time spent in a sorority called Kappa Gamma Pi and her relationship with the foreboding and ultimately tragic English headmistress Mrs. Agnes Thayer. Her entrance into the sorority sparked by a timid desire to gain acceptance from her peers, gradually reveals the shallow nature of the sisters and the vacuous symbols of their elite collective. The second section, The ... Read More:
