1.		Midnight's Children (Vintage Classics) from Vintage Classics Price: £4.79 Customer Review: The language is as multi-layered and detailed as a Klimt, the imagery, rich and dense as Christmas cake - there's no doubt Midnight's Children is a unique and remarkable book, but I found, at it's core, it was too coldly detached. I never truly connected to Saleem or any of the characters, or the... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		The Conservationist from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Price: £5.99 Customer Review: Form and style are matched to content in this expertly crafted novel by Gordimer. 'The Conservationist' was my introduction to Gordimer's writing and I wasn't disappointed. Her Modernist style, with its rapid shifts of narrative viewpoints, stream of consciousness and insertion of flashbacks is... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		The Blue Flower from Flamingo Price: £3.99 Customer Review: Having obtain some information about the lives of Byron, Shelley, Goether, and the like I lived happily convinced that the Romantic poets usually lived up to their name. Penelope Fitzgerald sadly proved me wrong. Their life was mundane, boring, without flair, and they were rather lucky to die young.... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		Disgrace from Vintage Price: £5.99 Customer Review: J.M. Coetzee has managed, as many good authors do, to completely immerse the reader in what goes on in the book and its often uncomfortable surroundings. The characters have depth and are well described and the main character, although potentially unlikeable, seemed to grow ever dearer to my heart... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		The Ghost Road from Penguin Price: £5.99 Customer Review: With a disjointed plot that feels like it's been padded out to fill the required number of pages, and gay fantasies and activities which only get in the way of the story, I was hugely disappointed with this novel. Last Pat Barker I'll be reading.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		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

7.		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

9.		The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Price: £5.99 Customer Review: I eagerly awaited the arrival of this book..... and then struggled to make myself finish it. The facts of the case of interesting but the book is massively padded out with all manner of facts on victorian life and morals which I found very boring and tedious. I thought I had bought a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		Staying on from Arrow Books Ltd Price: £6.99 Customer Review: A tremendously moving and elegiac book that somehow manages to cover British colonial life in a way that does not sound insulting or racist in a post-colonial world. I read this on holiday along with a stack of books from more contemporary (and award winning) authors writing on similar themes and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
