Alex and JJ are back with a very "Silence of the Lambs" meet "Psycho" type villian. This was an enjoyable macabre read. I know kinda an oxymoron but if you like crime novels you will love the Alex Hope series. The characters are well done and the plot flows. Yes, there is romance but I feel it is almost secondary to the crime solving but no less enjoyable.

Excellent collection of varying stories. (0 more)
Excellent early stories from the Triffid author
Excellent collection of early short stories from Wyndham that delve into different sci-fi genres. Though it was written in 1930 through to 1938 they are still suprisingly fresh and interesting.
They are a powerhouse of excellent literature and is a great introduction to his later novels such as Day of the Triffids, The Midwich Cuckoos and Chocky.

While I enjoyed reading this, it was one of those novels where the main couple butted heads all the time. It was easy and interesting to watch the two fall in love, and I often found myself laughing. The characters were filled with personality and fire, and I always love a romance novel with some drama. Other than the constant fighting, I can find nothing negative to say about this novel.

An adaptation of the novels of Edward St Aubyn. Patrick Melrose comes from a rich family but after suffering abuse from his father he is reliant on drugs and alcohol which effects his relationships with others. Benedict Cumberbatch acts his socks off and is brilliant, the support actors are brilliant too. There is a bit of toing and froing between past and present so you do need to concentrate!

Cinda Williams Chima is the best author I have found in a long time. The problem with many fantasy novels is that they often tend to drag a lot towards the middle, especially during the fight scenes. This is not the case with this author, who offers exciting twists around every corner and a plethora of hilarious metaphors. This book is a must read for any fantasy lover.

Good But Predictable
This book was a fun fantasy read, however it was often predictable. Many of the events were stereo typical things I have seen in a lot of other YA novels. It was a good book it just didn't have any qualities that really made it stand out. I would still suggest it to others, but hopefully when the second book comes out it brings more to the table.

Essentially a horror novel within a fantasy setting, this is set in the same world as Simon Green's earlier novels "Blue Moon Rising" and "Blood and Honour"; albeit about 10 years on from "Blue Moon Rising", with the odd reference to the events of that (better) book.

It's also pretty much rote stuff: there's nothing really outstanding about this book that would make it stand out from the crowd.
