1.		I am the Messenger from Random House USA Children's Books Customer Review: Having read and delighted in The Book Thief, I thought that I would give I am the Messenger a go. I was in Oz at the time and so the setting was perfect. It truly is a read in one sitting book. It may have been written for young adults but is a book that all can take from.

2.		The Book Thief from Black Swan Price: £3.86 Customer Review: I can't recommend this book highly enough. It's true that its very setting fills it with sadness but its originality, delicacy, poetry and certainly humour make it a very special book indeed. I's one of those books that risks making you unpopular as you try desperately to convince... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (Definitions) from Definitions Price: £3.49 Customer Review: This is a very simply written short novel describing Auschwitz from the perspective of a nine year old boy. The writing is clear and very easy to read, divided into short chapters, some wry irony throughout. However, I personally felt that the naivety of the boy was somewhat overplayed: would a nine... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		Random Acts of Heroic Love from Black Swan Price: £3.86 Customer Review: What I loved most about this book, is that fact that the author managed to write beautifully, and still weave a wonderful plot line, two in fact. I sometimes find books either have the plot, or the writing. I love the way the two stories parallels eachother, where two men are going through... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		The Talking Horse and the Sad Girl and the Village Under the Sea from Picador Price: £5.99 Customer Review: i like this book a lot. it's the first time for a long time that i've read a book of poems thru completely. the poems are quirky, thought-provoking, interesting, touching; as fresh and tingle-making as a winter sea. blew the cobwebs away.

6.		The Outcast from Vintage Price: £2.99 Customer Review: If you ever feel you are too happy this is the book for you! Badly written two-dimensional stereotypical characters in a totally depressing story. Do not recommend at all	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		The Resurrectionist from Faber and Faber Price: £3.99 Customer Review: I wish I had read all these reviews before I bought this book. I very very rarely give up on a book, but I am in "grave" danger of not finishing this one, and I hate doing that. I think the author has tried too hard with his narrative, the prose is wordy, and doesn't get anywhere. If I read... more info	Customer Rating: 2.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		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

9.		Notes from an Exhibition from HarperPerennial Price: £3.86 Customer Review: First of Patrick Gale's novels that I've read and found it a very 'gentle' read, even though the subject matter was anything but gentle. A story of family life and family deaths and, at the centre, Rachel - the mother, forever wrestling with her own demons, for as well as being a gifted artist, she... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		The White Tiger from Atlantic Books Price: £6.49 Customer Review: We agreed to read the Booker winner for book club, and this book was exactly what I expected. Far from sensationally exposing the little-known 'dark underbelly' of modern India, it is exactly the same as the all the other books exposing the little-known dark underbelly of modern India - we read... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
