This is the most beautiful book I have ever read - definitely my number one. It deals with a difficult subject in a thoroughly enjoyable manner. At times frustrating, at times hilarious but at all times your heart is with the main character, hoping that someone will understand.

Took this book on a recent 7 day holiday - it looked my sort of stuff.
Read about 40% of it then tossed it onto the holiday home library shelf and selected the best of what had been left. Birdsong is tedious and poorly written. The characters are not engaging - it's just not worth the eye power in reading it. A bit like the movie "Atonement" - it's not unpleasant, you could watch it, it will do no harm but there are many far far better films. Birdsong is touted as a modern classic - it is no such thing. >>More Details |

This is one of the best PG tudor novels and i couldnt put it down. I love the way it deals with the little known older brother of Henry, Arthur and the way Catalina (Kathrine) is so determined. The way the book is written makes it really hard to not sympaphise with her and if you dont cry in the last chapter you have a heart of stone. The only problem with this is that you cant read it before you go to bed becasue you will HAVE to sat up all night to finnish it!

The fourth (and probably the last) in the Camel Club series.
The Camel Club was an interesting diversion for Baldacci, the books started off very light and then got darker as the series progressed. I would not recommend Divine Justice unless you have read the previous novels in the series. This starts off with our hero John Carr (aka Oliver Stone) on the run having taken out two senior US officials (who were bad guys). A manhunt is underway and Carr is looking for somewhere to disappear when he gets involved in a fracas and ends up in Divine, a small town which is hiding a lot of secrets. Does he keep his head down or does he get involved? Meanwhile tenacious CIA tracker Joe Knox is on his trail and getting closer, as are Carr's friends ... Read More: >>More Details |

The author clearly wrote this with the intention of getting the words 'epic' and 'state of the nation' on the dust jacket, and picking up some weighty literary plaudits. In that sense he succeeded, even getting to the Booker Prize shortlist. Unfortunately, the novel itself is dull, flabby and prosaic, and I'm at a loss as to how it has won so many admirers.
Despite getting on for 800 pages, practically nothing happens, the characters are flat and meaningless and the writing itself is one step up from the text on the cornflakes packet. It's so 'padded' that there are huge sections devoted to really quite minor characters, who appear and disappear just as suddenly after serving their purpose (to add another ten pages to this monster). I ploughed ... Read More: >>More Details |

some small SPOILERS, but nothing you couldn't discern by reading the official review
The main criticism levelled at this book seems to be that it is depressing, upsetting, and "un-Marianlike". Well, guess what, domestic violence is a depressing and upsetting subject, particularly for those who have suffered it. This is not my favourite Marian book (that title is still up for dispute between Rachel's Holiday, Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married and Last Chance Saloon), but although it isn't perfect, it's still a damn good read. Arguably she took the wrong tone for Lola, by having her funny, Bridgetesque diary style continue even after we find out Lola has been beaten by Paddy. Personally I think it reflects the fact that Lola is bruised but not broken, so to speak. Paddy ... Read More: >>More Details |

I have always been fascinated by Africa. My parents met there as vso volunteers in the 70s and that was how the author first experienced Africa. My parents talked often about their time there but they had such mixed views - love and hate. I bought this because of review and knew I was travelling to Australia so had time to read it. I have not been disappointed. It is passionately written yet highly informed. Above all it makes sense of something I never quite understood. It will be my parents' Christmas present! I must now go to Africa.

I gather that Mrs Ian Hislop's husband is none other than the Editor of Private Eye, which perhaps accounts for the reason why this book was published. As a piece of writing it has no merits and I have yet to meet anyone who, having read it, actually enjoyed it. It is a given that to get published these days you have to either be a journalist or be married to one.

Winter in Madridby: C.J. Sansom October 06, 2006 Best Selling > Books > Fiction |

I picked this book up while on tour and read it within a couple of weeks. At first I thought it had potential with the prologue showing the Civil war and focusing on one of the communist soldiers Bernie and then the air raids on London and how the people of London coped with this. However once the character goes to Madrid the plot slows right down and then doesn't seem to pick up again until the end and the plot twist, which I won't ruin for you.
I think the book is worth a read just for the historical value. It does show how bad the civil war was in Spain and if like me you don't know much about that part of history it does explain a lot. By far not the best book I have read but still enjoyable >>More Details |
