41.Tan Lines: A Novel of Sex and Sunburn by: J.J. Salem May 02, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.94 You Save: £3.05 (44%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.84
I bought this book for holiday and if I had had anything else to do but read in the sun I would have binned it. The characters where drawn as cartoon stereotypes (too bad or too good) I didn't like any of the characters and the end was obvious from the beginning. First time I've read a Jackie Colllins reviewed book (or one of hers) - I won't again. The book ended up in bits in Greece!

Colourful, funny, vibrant - fantastic book for the under 5's It's follow-up Dinosaurs love underpants is also great, my son loves choosing which pair of pants he's going to wear from the inside cover, a lot of imagination, thought and effort has gone into these books. One to add for sure!

43.Heroes, Villains and Velodromes: Chris Hoy and Britain's Track Cycling Revolution by: Richard Moore June 16, 2008

Like so many people in the country I was blown away by the success of the recent Olympics in Beijing, but especially by the amazing performances of the GB cycling team. So when i noticed "Heroes, Villains & Velodromes" on the shelf of my local book shop I thought I'd give it a try. I wasn't sure what to expect really but what i got was a lively, entertaining and extremely well written read about the revolution in british cycling and Hoy's part in it over the last ten years. As Moore says in his comments it's not nessecarily a story just about Chris Hoy but he is the principal character and 'star of the show' Hoy comes across a phenomenal athlete, ferocious competitor but also a genuinely nice guy who's dedicates hiimself completely to ...

44.Batman: Dark Knight Returns (Batman) by: Frank Miller May 16, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £11.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.99 You Save: £6.00 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.85
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.

45.Revelation (Matthew Shardlake 4) by: C.J. Sansom April 04, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £17.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.15 You Save: £10.84 (60%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.39
Have read all four of the Shardlake series, all brilliant. I am now having withdrawal. Sansom has you totally engrossed, you can picture the scene, a detailed version of the violent times of Henry V111. I cannot find a single fault. Will there be anymore, please. If you like historical whodunnits, these are for you, difficult to put down, extremely well written, who needs television.

I was really looking forward to this, having heard so much praise. I guess I missed something, but I was expecting a really deep, complex story, like so many reviews and articles had described, and didn't find anything of the sort. The artwork's flawless, but the story really did nothing for me, especially the Joker's back story, which seems to be the most raved about part. I felt no attachment to any characters, and having only recently read Watchmen for the first time, and being so blown away by that, I couldn't see how this was the same writer. I also found it shockingly short, which I don't expect from a graphic novel. As I said before though, awesome artwork. I still love that cover!

47."Stop in the Name of Pants!" (Confessions of Georgia Nicolson) by: Louise Rennison July 01, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £10.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.49 You Save: £5.50 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.09
Another great book for the series. This book took me to a new place, i had a tear in my eye at one point and also the ending wasn't an earth shattering cliffhanger which i need to know the conclusion too straight away either. After a couple slow books to set the scene i believe the next one is going to be laugh a minute with Georgia getting herself into even more trouble and funny moments. I can't wait. I'm 25 and have been reading these since high school and they still make me chuckle as its a reminder of how your brain worked at that age. These have been labelled as children's books but any adults out there who are open to remembering what its like to be a teenager will love these.

48.Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness by: Richard H. Thaler, Cass R. Sunstein May 13, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £18.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £11.69 You Save: £6.31 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £9.32
In this lovely, useful book, Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein examine choices, biases and the limits of human reasoning from a variety of perspectives. They often amuse by disclosing how they have fallen victim to the limitations of thought that they are describing. The fact that these educated, articulate professionals can fool themselves so often demonstrates how tough it is to think clearly, a point the authors emphasize and even repeat. Humans fall prey to systematic errors of judgment, but you can harness this problematic tendency productively, including by helping others make better decisions. Some of the authors' suggestions may not be practical, but many are and all are interesting. getAbstract recommends this book to anyone who wants to know how to shape responsible decisions. ...

49.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: £1.75
Having read and loved Garth Nix's OLD KINGDOM books (SABRIEL, LIRAEL, and ABHORSEN) as well as his SEVENTH TOWER series, I had pretty high expectations when I started in on SUPERIOR SATURDAY. I wasn't disappointed. The action moves along quickly, with new and original presentations of magic at every turn, and major and minor characters worth cheering for (or, in the case of the antagonists, against). The sixth book in Nix's KEYS TO THE KINGDOM series picks up right where the fifth book left off, making it a little confusing to understand at first, especially if you're a newcomer to the series, like I was when reading this. The book is certainly good enough to merit your going to the library and checking out all of the previous ones in order to get up to speed, but in case your ... Read More:

50.The Game by: Neil Strauss December 06, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.99 You Save: £4.00 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.93
What a discovery!!! I bought this book as part of some research for my own book and I was very pleasantly surprised. I never made the connection that Mr Strauss was the co-author of the much lauded Motley Crue's "The Dirt". Ok, the stories in this book may seem a bit stretched or hard to believe, but hey, it's Americans we are talking about. What I have to say is that reading this book made me look back on my failures and successes at picking women, and it was almost uncanny to read word by word where I went right and wrong. The Game is a bit of a cross between Queer Eye For The Straight Guy cum Men Are From Mars Women Are From Venus cum any rock and roll tale of debauchery you care to think of. Interesting but not recommendable for old school romantics ... Read More:
