Nick Hornby's warm autobiographical book deals with his life as a football fan from 1968 (when he was a teenager) until 1992, especifically as he supported his beloved Arsenal during that time. There's some good insights about football culture (for a true football fan, football is not really an entertainment, a concept that is probably hard to understand in the US, where sports are just a part of the entertainment business) as well as football tactics (there are few good passers in the sports, he says, as hard as this might be to believe to outsiders; Liam Brady, one of his favorite players, was that rare player, a great passer). Each of the chapters (so to call them) deals with a particular football match that he remembers during that period. ... Read More:

In the overcrowded field of mystery thrillers, it's not often one comes across a book that is not only a great mystery but also a literary testament to the turmoil of humanity, but that is exacly what David Guterson has achieved with Snow Falling on Cedars. The 'action' takes place over the course of three days, in a court room presided over by an elderly judge, in an small island community being pummelled by one of the worst wintery storms in living memory. Kabuo, a third generation Japanese immigrant, is accused of the first degree murder of another island fisherman. But as the case unfurls, Guterson takes us on a tour of this island's history that reveals the tensions and turmoil of island life, and reveals the backstories of the accused, the ... Read More:

Another reviewer is right - it turns into an Alistair Maclean. And an episode of the X Files. And the end of Frankenstein and a story by H.P. Lovecraft. At the end of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein the Monster catches up Victor Frankenstein in his ship. Victor transfers willingly to the Monster's sled, and together they set off towards the Utter North. For H.P. Lovecraft the Great Unknown was the Antarctic where a living meteorite might well have lain dreaming.

Cider House Rules - The Novelby: John Irving July 01, 1986 Best Selling > Books > Film Tie-ins |

The Cider House Rules is a good example of John Irving at his best - it's a long, rich, complex and always fulfilling novel. Those who are familiar with Irving's other books will recognise the basic premise - it follows the life of an American man in unconventional circumstances - but his books are too complex and quirky to be formulaic.
Homer Wells, the protagonist, is a well developed central character, and he is supported by a cast of vivid and eccentric supporting acts. Irving describes all of his characters, however minor, in great detail - occasionally almost too much. As in all Irving books (that I have read) an important role is played by a dominating, overpoweringly strong female character who influences Homer in his early life. This ...

Wonder Boysby: Michael Chabon March 28, 1996 Best Selling > Books > Film Tie-ins |

The story goes that Chabon composed Wonder Boys in a few weeks, after getting stuck on a 1,000 page tome. Turning his predicament around, he decided to write about being bogged down with an unfinishable 1,000 page manuscript.
I never understood why writers think writing itself, or their misdemeanours when they can't engage in it, should be of such great interest to the public. But this aside, one can't expect a work produced in a few weeks to live up to one that was matured over years; so fans of Kavalier & Clay are likely to be disappointed by Wonder Boys. The WWII, comic-book-inspired epic was a rich and deeply-felt adventure tale, but this is mostly about parties and the hangovers that follow them, and it takes the reader no further than a few ...

Oh I love this book!!!
I bought it when it was first published and read it in one go. When I finished I started back at page 1 straight away. Over the years I have reread it a a few more times and I know I will read it again. My copy is all worn and a few friends have read it as well and loved it. It is just one of the most moving and beautiful love stories ever written and I adore its thoroughness and perfect pace - lingering and going in depth and at times racing on and almost taking the form of a crime story. The final chapter has me in tears every time. The language and prose in this book demands attention and focus so it is not a book to read a few pages of before drifting off to bed. But do read it! It is worth the extra effort! >>More Details |

I am on my fourth read of Bridget Jones's Diary and I have watched the film at least fifty times. I'm addicted. The book is fantastic, I can guarantee you will not be able to put it down and will read it probably within less than a week.

Steven King's introduction identifies Matheson as a major influence and virtually credits him with re-inventing the modern horror genre. And rightly so.
I've only just read this (shame on me) and am amazed! It really is the granddaddy of the modern zombie genre. And of much vampire fiction too. Added to that it has several twists in the tail that are completely unexpected which put its imitators firmly in the shade (including the film). An extraordinary achievement. A must read. It will surprise you. >>More Details |
