“First novel. A thriller set in Sussex. Lots and lots of short chapters.
Begins nicely with a serial killer running amok through a country village.
If it’s a page turner you are after this might do you well.I found it a bit thin and couldn’t see how this could happen.

Score 3.5/10

Date read June 2010

“Ok so it won the Booker and is a number one best seller.
This epic historical novel from middle ages centres around Thomas Cromwell, he works his way up the ranks and into power.
I gave up on page 100…enough for me, I don’t have the historical knowledge or have the desire either to connect with this book.

Score 3.5/10

“A grieving wife writes to Osama Bin Laden is not an easy concept to carry off, but he does it well.
Arsenal Football ground is the setting of a terrorist bombing and London is under curfew. I’d recommend this one.

“Entertaining American teenage novel.
A evil man is body parts to keep himself alive, also to bring his beloved sister back to life.
And he would have done it if it wasn’t for those pesky kids.
