261.These Enchanted Woods by: Allan Massie June 01, 1994
>>More Details		Used Price: £0.01

262.The Mangan Inheritance by: Brian Moore November 19, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
A 300-page novel that drags you further and further in. Brian Moore had a great ability to develop characters and plots of real substance while keeping up the pace of a thriller. The central character, a part-time Canadian poet of possible Irish inheritance, is sympathetically drawn and one can't help but feel his insecurities and excitements. Reminded me in a strange way of 'I am Mary Dunne', although the plot is very different and Mangan is male. The descriptions of rural Ireland are good too, if sometimes a little coarse. Recommended for Moore fans and for those who haven't come across him yet.

263.On Green Dolphin Street by: Sebastian Faulks April 27, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £16.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.01
well written, but felt like some kind of writing exercise: soulless and unengaging. Interesting in as much as it gives a feel for the way 'big history' fits in with personal history, but you end up not caring about the characters and their outcomes.

266.The Golden One by: Elizabeth Peters 2002-05
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price:
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 with ...

267.Fourth Protocol by: Frederick Forsyth September 17, 1984
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
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 he delves into ...

268.Five Quarters of the Orange by: Joanne Harris 2001-05
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.28
Beyond the main street of Les Laveuses runs the Loire, smooth and brown as a sunning snake -- but hiding a deadly undertow beneath its moving surface. This is where Framboise, a secretive widow named after a raspberry liqueur, plies her culinary trade at the créperie -- and lets her memory play strange games. Into this world comes the threat of revelation, as Framboise's nephew -- a profiteering Parisian -- attempts to exploit the growing success of the country recipes she has inherited from her mother, a woman remembered with contempt by the villagers of Les Laveuses. As the spilt blood of a tragic wartime childhood flows again, exposure beckons for Framboise, the widow with an invented past. ******************************************* ... Read More:
