1.		The Kite Runner from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Price: £3.15 Customer Review: I instantly fell in love with the characters and was deeply moved by the story. I usually read on the train and did not expect to cry my eyes out with this one; but I did.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		Atonement from HarperCollins Audio Price: £7.99 Customer Review: I have already raved about this book in the form of a paperback - see my other review there. But for a wonderful book to be read so beautifully with such expression by a voice as rich and resonant as Isla Blair's is a real pleasure. She depicts the different characters with great expression and real... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Half of a Yellow Sun from HarperPerennial Price: £3.15 Customer Review: I'm one of those minority reviewers who was less than gripped by this novel. I finished it but it seemed a bit of a chore at times (although other parts seemed to flow). I felt frustrated by the characters - the love stories between them never seemed convincing. I was hugely interested in the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		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

5.		A Thousand Splendid Suns from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Price: £6.49 Customer Review: This is a magnificent story of the plight of women in Afghanistan, both before, during and after the Taliban. It traces the story of Mariam and Laila, both from very different background, but both finding themselves living without freedom, with constant violence and with nothing but their love for... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		A Short History of Nearly Everything from Black Swan Price: £5.99 Customer Review: I read this book whilst on a round the world trip and it was a great companion, although it does take some reading! I ordered a copy from Amazon for my father in law as a christmas present, but thought i would get the hardback version called 'a really short history of nearly everything'... a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		The Uncommon Reader from Profile Books Ltd Price: £3.86 Customer Review: A very humorous and entertaining story about the Queen and one of her servants revolving around the Queen's growing addiction to English literature. Although the situation is preposterous, Bennett has a way of drawing one into the story and it starts to seem plausible. Alan Bennett made... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		On Chesil Beach from Random House Audiobooks Price: £7.99 Customer Review: If you are easily seduced by beautiful sentences, you'll feel On Chesil Beach is a five-star book. If you love exploring inner dialogue, you'll be even more pleased with this book. If, however, you like your stories to be compelling because of their relevance and interest to your own life,... more info	Customer Rating: 2.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
