1.		Engleby from Vintage Price: £4.84 Customer Review: Sebastian Faulks has taken a daring step with his latest novel, taking the reader deeper then his previous novels. Faulks opens the door into the mind of the eccentric and aloof Mike Engleby, forcing you to step into a world which often leaves you feeling uneasy and perplexed. Full of satirical... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		A Fool's Alphabet from Vintage Price: £5.99 Customer Review: A real disappointment. 26 chapters entitled with a place name from A to Z. Clever but really just a gimic with little relevance. The chapters are not in chronological order. Another unnecessary gimic and really annoying, having to keep trying to remember what happened when. If you are going to read... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		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

4.		Human Traces from Vintage Price: £5.49 Customer Review: Faulks' research into the background of this novel is thorough and he has produced a novel of magisterial scope and scale. Following two young boys from very different backgrounds as they enter the nascent discipline of psychiatry and embark on a pioneering journey, he takes in the terror of the... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		On Chesil Beach from Jonathan Cape Ltd Price: £6.91 Customer Review: A very sad and sensitively written story, a young woman's innocence and naivety was to change the course of a couple's life irretrievably; when all it had needed was a little reassurance from her lover. Edward and Florence young well educated and both virgins when they married are the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		The Vintage Book of War Stories from Vintage Price: £4.79 Customer Review: There's nothing wrong with the writing or the writers assembled here, but this is not a book of war stories. It's made up almost entirely of extracts from novels--pieces never meant to be read in isolation, and not designed to stand on their own as stories. Not what the cover claims!

7.		Devil May Care (James Bond) from Penguin Price: £7.21 Customer Review: Still worthy of a read but nowhere near as good as the original master 'Fleming'. The plot still draws you in but the outcome is predictable! When I bought this I purchased a novel from a new author 'De Marco Empire' and i found this to be much more exciting - on the edge of the seat stuff and... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		The Girl at the Lion d'Or from Vintage Price: £5.94 Customer Review: This seemed slow to get going and I wasn't sure about it until just over half way through when Anne explained to Charles what happened to her father. This is a novel about the direct and indirect effects of the First World War on various members of French society as they move with fatalistic... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		The Road Home from Vintage Price: £3.86 Customer Review: Hey guys , I read the book but from my own experience in learning a foreign language i found it a bit too strange for Lev to learn english so quickly as he learned . I mean , at first he couldnt even speak but after a short time he was fluent in the language already ?	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		A Thousand Splendid Suns from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Price: £11.89 Customer Review: Khaled Hosseini's "A Thousand Splendid Suns" is a genuine instant literary classic, and one destined to be remembered as one of 2007's best novels. It should be compared favorably to such legendary Russian novels like "War and Peace" and "Doctor Zhivago". And yet it is ironic to compare Hosseini's... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
