| I did enjoy this book, and finished it in one weekend. The start really grips you, and the short mysterious paragraphs describing the conversations of unknown third parties really gets your mind racing. But sadly, although it is a good book, the unfolding of the facts is just not as 'clever' as the book starts off. Still very worth a read though. |

| I am amazed that Richard & Judy chose this novel for their Summer Read collection. It is certainly not a book to read while relaxing by the pool. I enjoyed the reading of this as the style of writing is so pristine and fresh. It is also didactic and reveals the narrow minded prejudices of the not so distant past in a very powerful and clever way. It reminded me of Catcher in the Rye, one of my favourites. However, I just found the content so unedifying: self-harm, abuse, incestuous relationships, apathy, coldness etc, etc, etc. It was compulsive reading though as I had to find there was resolution and hope. If that hadn't come, I might just have put the book immediately in the bin. It has certainly made me think though and I am very moved by the ... Read More |

| I am not surprised at the amount of high praise for this book as it has a storyline that keeps you turning the page. It is noted that a few previous reviewers may have guessed at a plot twist or two but you still have to read on to find out why the events happened so this is largely irrelevant. There is atmosphere that is created which draws you into the world created by the author and allows you to connect with the subjects of the story and the timeframes that they are captured in. Another enjoyable bestselling novel by Kate Morton. |

| Once I picked this book up I could not put it down.Memories came spinning back to this fifties boy.I came up through most of these times and so I could relate to this modern history.Andrew Marr has handled the political side very well in this book and has managed to keep his personal views from overspilling into factual happeninings.One thing it did for me was to show that our country is run by legalised liars with huge built in egos , no matter what party or Prime Minister has run Britain.How many times has Britain survived bankruptcy from the failings of all these politicians who treat their position as a career and right with greed being the reward? Why do we have to wait until something is history before we see the true failings and stories.Read this book ... Read More |

| "Devil May Care" is a lightweight, enjoyable pot boiler that is highly reminiscent of the Ian Fleming novels and also the Sean Connery 007 movies. I definitely felt that Sebastian Faulks nailed Fleming's writing style. Unfortunately he has been less successful in constructing a compelling plot and characters.
I very much enjoyed the first half the book which vividly recreates the late 60s. Bond's initial confrontation with the villain is over a game of tennis that reads more like a duel and has all the tension of Casino Royale. The love interest, Scarlett, also makes a dramatic entry. However the second half of the book rapidly loses momentum and pace and the overly-complicated plot gets bogged down with lengthy explanations and the introduction ... Read More |

| You have questions, of course... So, should I read this book, "The Book Thief"? Is it any good? Is it yet another depressing book about Nazis and Jews and the Second World War? What is this all about - Death as the narrator - sounds contrived...
I had seen this book, gracing the shelves in bookshops and, to be honest, was attracted by the cover but not sure that I wanted to read another novel about the horrors of the Holocaust. I went with my first instinct - the cover felt right... This book is not a harrowing hike through the charnel houses of 1940's Europe. It is a simple tale of the trivia which make up human lives. It is moving and rich and captures the simplicity of childhood, the joy of friendship and the love of family in a way both rewarding ... Read More |

I strongly recomend it for a summer escape. |

| GORDON RAMSAY'S HEALTHY APPETITE is a must have for those who want great tasting food without all the calories and fat. It seems some have been put off by the fact that this is not a diet book. No one ever said it was. Rather, it is a healthy approach to eating without blowing your entire way of living out of the water. What Ramsay wants to make clear (I believe) is that there are several factors involved in healthy eating: proportion, moderation, seasoning, and the right combination of foods, just to name a few.
Highlights for me include the "Four Cabbage Coleslaw," the "Penne Primavera," and the "Pot roast sirloin of beef." Other may warm to the "Glazed Gammon with pineapple Salsa," which I haven't tried yet but will soon. While the recipes are the main ... Read More |

| For me this was a great recommendation from Richard and Judy (although I actually bought it after reading the reviews here on Amazon (after much mulling over in various bookshops!)).
Pippa was a character I warmed to and had some sympathy for. At the age of 50 she was living in an older person's gated community which made her feel like she was losing her mind and made her have some interesting episodes. In terms of written style, I found it accessible and flowed well. The flip back to the past worked for me. Some reviewers refer to the sexual content and whilst the character was allowed to explore her sexuality I felt it wasn't written in a particularly graphic way. Overall it was a great story and great book and it was a fast read. I was thoroughly ... Read More |
