When I went through the book I could remember the movie played with Renee...Miss Potter. How magicals are drawings and how creative is the story, so easy to get into it! I really recommend this book for kids but also grown-ups. Nice present for Christmas eve I guess.
Regarding the way how tales are presented, this is quite genius as well as everything is merged into just only one book, a good quality about the cover. Nice choice.

The 3rd book in this amazing series may be the best. This series is a must read, even if you are not a historical fiction person. The combination of fact & fiction is so seamless and so well written that I have recommended this to all my friends who have loved it. This is a must for your bookshelf! Caesar lives!

I purchased this book a few weeks ago, after reading someone's 'top'ten' reads. This is the first book I have read by Maggie O'Farrell, I will be looking to read more of her books. All I can say is "do read it you won't be disappointed" - hopefully!

I like Charlie Brooker. Charlie Brooker is a very funny man and his column in the Guardian is very funny too. Unfortunately if you can't remember most of the T.V. programmes he turns his ire on, then you're likely to be a bit lost as to why they deserve his anger. Revel in his caustic wit anyway as some deserved bile is poured out over victims, who, for the most part are the most venal, vain, shallow and self-centred people in or on television.
A good loo book, its short entries a perfect for a 'visit'. Not so good to read cover to cover, which I did because mine was a library copy and I needed to return it. Best buy or get bought a copy and leave it within handy reach of the porcelain.

"The Zombie Survival Guide" is a funny but informative spoof defense guide to surviving an attack of the walking dead. I devoured it within a day of buying it as it's a rivetting read.
Within its pages you learn: the physical cause of zombification; the strengths and weaknesses of the infected; the best weapons, tactics and defenses if you are forced to face ghouls; the best forms of transport in a zombie outbreak zone; the best places to escape to and avoid; the skills you need to live in a world where zombies are top of the food chain.Also Brooks ends his book with "historical" examples of human triumph and catastrophe in the face the undead menace.
Max Brooks is a former "Saturday Night Live" writer and there are a subtle satirical ... Read More:

email format start to book was heavy going,but was working sticking with the book. Lots of twists and turns to the plot. Can't wait for Reginald Hill to get Dalziel, Pascoe & Wieldy back in to full harness

Such a delicious fairytale. One of those books that leaves you with a big sense of loss when you've finished it and drives you to a bookshop in search of titles by the same author (unfortunately there aren't any others). Vivid, funny and utterly unputdownable. Immerse yourself - it's like having a long bubble bath with a chilled bottle of champagne by your side.

Here's a bit of a caveat.
Acheron is not a bad book, but I still wish I hadn't read it. It just destroys too much of Ash's mystery and brings him down to our level in a way.
So I looked forward to getting back to normal, after that exercise of torture. :) (Pun intended)
Please note: The blurb of One Silent Night is COMPLETELY wrong.
If you expect a christmassy book -- don't.
Aside from the final events, it has nothing to do with Christmas.
That's just marketing, because of when the book was released, is my guess.
About the only thing right in it is that there is an angry ex. The Dark-Hunters barely get a mention, let alone join in proceedings.
Whoever let the blurb through saying "Son" instead of "Daughter" needs to ... Read More:
