The name's Box, Lucifer Box...
Yes, Gatiss's improbable spoof spy hero is back. Introduced in his youth ("The Vesuvius Club") in the decadent '90s (the 1890s, that is) appearing again middle aged in the 20s ("The Devil in Amber") and now facing retirement at the end of a hectic career, Box has to save the world one last time. His adventures take him to Istanbul and Jamaica, pursuing (in every sense) the enigmatic Kingdom Kum and the sinister Black Butterfly. Each of these books is a take on a different action/ thriller genre. Box, now head of Her Majesty's Most Secret Service (cover name: The Royal Academy: head, Joshua Reynolds) takes on villains of the deepest dye, saved from certain death only by his native ...

This is, rightfully, an angry book that uncovers the British slave-trade and the inhumanities upon which empire is built. Gregory is clearly incensed, both politically and personally, about this hidden history and uncovers the ignorance and wilful self-deceit which underpins any kind of prejudice, whether racial, sexual, gendered etc.
However I felt that her very anger made this a very unsubtle book, unsophisticated precisely because of its polemic and didactic stance. Characters became representatives of political view-points: the ambitious lower-middle class tradesman determined to rise socially; his bitter and inhumane sister; the wife sold into a different type of slavery and yet unwilling to set herself free, and the noble, ...

Much of the book is satisfying. To a modern reader the four point tension, Elizabeth, her spymaster Cecil, her first great love Robin, and his wife Amy, handles well, with other characters made severely secondary. Though in the case of Blanche Parry, rather too secondary perhaps, more of that below.
I did like the early uncertainty by Elizabeth on court procedures, as she had been much shut away; giving the court expert Robin some of his first power base with her. Also their shared horror from being incarcerated in the Tower rings powerfully true. The details of Court life are richly portrayed: for example the almost tribal precedence about eating at meals. The detail on birth control is fascinating. I should have liked rather more ordinary ... Read More: >>More Details |

It's almost possible to see the difference in the pages written by the great man himself - but still a great read and although his wife's contribution is not the same - I'd still rate the book as a classic and streets ahead of anything by other so called "greats" of the genre.

Grubbs Grady is back, and he wishes he wasn't.
There are two things that Grubbs regrets the most: letting his transformation take away the lives of the ones he loved, and trusting Juni. When we last left him, Grubbs was on a plane ride with Juni, who promised to take care of him and love him. But while on board, Juni's true colors appeared, and they weren't so pretty. Turns out she had been working for Lord Loss and had used Grubbs' secrets and trust against him, lying to not only him but also to Dervish, who had fallen for her as well. Now Grubbs is trying to fend for himself, which isn't looking so bright since Lord Loss' little helpers are happily feeding on the passengers on the plane, while Lord Loss himself is trying to ...

I really enjoyed the 5th Harry Potter book and mainly for the creation of Professor Umbridge! J.K. Rowling has created such a good villain with this character, I really could not stand the woman by the end of the book and the reader could really identify with the characters frustration with this vile and unfair woman. This book really sees the main charcacters growing up and is darker than the previous ones, I thought it was brilliant.

The Sleepwalker (CHERUB)by: Robert Muchamore February 07, 2008 Best Selling > Books > Young Adult |

Robert Muchamore usually delivers - until now! The first in the Cherub series, The Recruit, had me hooked on the adventures of child spy James Adams and his sister, Lauren.
But now for the first time the Cherub series has failed to compete with the other big spy book series - Alex Rider, Young James Bond, Jimmy Coates. I feel very let down by The Sleepwalker. Muchamore usually creates believable and likeable characters, characters you invest your emotions in - or at least he tries. In The Sleepwalker, however, he dwells less on the people and more on the action, but even that is poorly executed. His characters become cartoon-like, one-dimensional - with no real depth to them. The story within The Sleepwalker is also lacking. Although the book enjoys ... Read More: >>More Details |

Another highly successful collection of books that give a new twist to faeries and all things mythical. Except unlike so many others of its kind, this book focuses upon the rather unlikely and unsavoury young aristocrat criminal mastermind, Artemis Fowl. On a quest to steal leprechaun gold, he holds a young faery to ransom but gets more than he bargains for as the winged equivalent of the SAS storm his plush mansion.
Eoin Colfer's genius in this series of books is injecting a somewhat tired premise with a new twist. Particularly with this first novel of the long-running series, the reader is given plenty to think about as faeries have jet-propelled wings and mythical creatures are given a gritty and very tangible edge. There is no doubt that many more readers of various ... Read More: >>More Details |

Having read somewhere that the inspiration for Stieg Larsson 'Lisbeth Salander' was Pippi Longstocking, and as I adored the trilogy 'Millenium', after I finished it I went on to re-read Pippi Longstocking and was utterly taken by how enjoyable these stories are even as a full over grown-up adult ! Pippi is so endearing you just want to meet her and spend a fun day at Villekulla cottage with her, mr Nelson and the horse. Lindgren simply had a stroke of genius when creating Pippi, as very few characters come so alive, so pure delight in their unpredictibility, and among all the fun to be had yet Pippi also manages to be very touching by sheer kindness and warmth at all times. The wicked are always caught by their own weakness and Pippi only pushes them on their own road, always with great fun, never with ... Read More:
