1.		Birdsong from Vintage Price: £4.99 Customer Review: This book is amazing. I was so moved by the story, it is so well written it is like you are reliving the experineces of the characters and there with them through their ups and downs. I found it to be emotionally draining in places, but worth every second.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		Engleby from Vintage Price: £3.99 Customer Review: Having only read Birdsong by Faulks previously and not having enjoyed it much I was reluctant to try this until a friend positively forced it on me. It is very, very different in style and content from Birdsong. It is dark, lucid and modern in tone unlike the Proustian romance of Birdsong.

3.		Devil May Care (James Bond) from Penguin Price: £7.99 Customer Review: It's my own fault that I really didn't enjoy this book. Faulks makes it clear that he is writing as Ian Flemming. Whether he achieves this I will leave to those more qualified than I. However from reading other reviews opinions seem to be mixed. I suppose I had hoped that he would inject a bit of... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		The Girl at the Lion D'Or from Vintage Price: £5.94 Customer Review: Those who have read some of Faulks' later novels might be disappointed in this one. There's no question that Faulks is a good writer and the descriptions and phrasing are the same high quality as his later books. The problem for me was the plot - it's a slow moving, rather uninspired story. Set... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		Human Traces from Vintage Price: £5.59 Customer Review: Sebastian Faulks's epic work from 2005 spans more than 600 pages in the hardback edition. Its scope is vast, and its ambition - to recap the advances and recreate the excitement of psychiatric innovations in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, all within the boundaries of a credible work... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		Charlotte Gray from Vintage Price: £5.99 Customer Review: I had high hopes for this book, because I absolutely loved Birdsong, but I found it left me rather unmoved. It's written in what seems, to me at least, to be a curiously detached style and it didn't seem to really penetrate beneath the surface of the characters. Even amidst the danger of Occupied... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		The Fatal Englishman: Three Short Lives from Vintage Price: £6.99 Customer Review: To believe that this is a collection of incipient novellas is to misunderstand the purport of the book. It is a searing examination of the Romantic Byronic spirit of a certain kind of Englishness - that of the outsider, well-educated and assured but also tenderly, tragically flawed. It has much more... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		Birdsong from Random House Audiobooks Price: £10.00 Customer Review: This book is amazing. I was so moved by the story, it is so well written it is like you are reliving the experineces of the characters and there with them through their ups and downs. I found it to be emotionally draining in places, but worth every second.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		A Fool's Alphabet from Vintage Price: £5.99 Customer Review: The 26 chapters of this book are named after places, one for each letter of the alphabet. Moving around in time as well as location, it reads rather like a collection of short stories with a common central character rather than a novel. Rather than being driven by exposition of a plot, each episode... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		Devil May Care (unabridged) from Penguin Audiobooks Price: £13.29 Customer Review: Just finished listening to this on my ipod. I was hooked for the first seven or eight chapters, then I just found myself willing for it to be over. For a double O agent, Bond's perception is severely lacking when it comes to Scarlett / Poppy - I think anyone listening would have figured out their /... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
