I loved this novel, which complements and enhances the film. One of my all-time-favourites.

Tries too hard to be funny and doesn't succeed. Good plot and characters but badly written.

73.Madame Bovary (Wordsworth Classics) (Wordsworth Classics) by: Gustave Flaubert November 07, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £1.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.01
It's pretty much all been said and I gladly add my voice to the chorus of praise but I write to suggest reading the original translation by Eleanor Marx Aveling (daughter of Karl Marx); the more florid victorian prose is apposite for the era and truly spellbinding.

75.The Grapes of Wrath by: John Steinbeck September 07, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.74 You Save: £2.25 (25%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.44
This is a powerful, beautiful book and one that should be read by everyone irrespective of age or gender. It's tight, evocative language moves you to your core and stays with you long after the book has finished. The frustrations and anger the families of dust-bowl era America must have felt are made starkly clear and the might and sway of corporations was evident even back when this book was written. An immensely readable and powerful novel that will leave you enriched and moved.

77.Moby Dick (Wordsworth Classics) by: Herman Melville May 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £1.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.01
In my quest to read all the literary classics, I do have to keep reminding myself that just because something is a "classic" I'm not necessarily going to enjoy it. This was certainly the case with Moby Dick. Written in 1850 by a former Whaleman, it follows the story of the monomaniacal Captain Ahab and his ship the Pequod in the relentless pursuit of a fierce white whale - Moby Dick. The story is narrated by Ishmael, a member of the crew who is on his own personal journey of philosophical and spiritual enlightenment. I enjoyed the book up to the point when the Pequod embarked on its journey, then for 400 odd interminable pages Melville presents you with an encyclopaedic account of a whale voyage, going into mind numbingly ...

78.French short stories: Nouvelles Francaises (New Penguin Parallel Text Series): Short Stories in French from: Penguin September 30, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.29 You Save: £2.70 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.97
Not having learnt french since school (GCSE/GCE) I found the stories easy enough to get the general story line but complex enough to challenge and revise my knowledge of the language - and extend it. The parallel text is just fantastic you don't lose interest constantly having to look words up in a dictionary. Would strongly recomend this book for intermediates.

79.A Tale of Two Cities (Wordsworth Classics) by: Charles Dickens May 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £1.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.01
A few reviews here have said the majority of the book is needlessly detailled and long and drawn out. I whole heartedly disagree with them. Yes, the first two thirds of the book are detailled and cover the events and characters thoroughly but this is essential in setting up the magnificent finale. Without the in-depth back story, the ending would lose all of its power. Granted, while reading this detail you do not realise it is so important (hence maybe the feelings of indifference towards this part of the book) but without it you would not be so invested in the characters. You would not care about what happens to them and would not understand why the events of the past impact so heavily on what is happening to them. I'm not saying I did not require ... Read More:

I began this book on a wet Sunday morning lying on the sofa and instantly became hooked...at the time of reading it, I wished I could have read faster as i was so desperate to know 'who dunnit'. I really enjoyed the book and am definately considering buying more in the series.
