1.		The Picture of Dorian Gray (Penguin Classics) from Longman Price: £4.49 Customer Review: By now, most people are aware of the basic plot of this book: young man foolishly wishes that, upon seeing his current beateous youth captured forever in a picture, he could remain in that moment of youth forever, and the picture age in his stead. Not only that, but the picture becomes twisted and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		What Was Lost from Tindal Street Press Price: £6.29 Customer Review: 'What Was Lost' is Catherine O'Flynn's debut award-winning novel, which tells the story of Kate Meaney who mysteriously goes missing in 1984 and the resonance this has when, some twenty years later, she reappears on a CCTV camera in Green Oaks Shopping Centre. The novel considers the butterfly... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Madame Bovary (Wordsworth Classics) (Wordsworth Classics) from Wordsworth Editions Ltd Price: £1.99 Customer Review: It's pretty much all been said and I gladly add my voice to the chorus of praise but I write to suggest reading the original translation by Eleanor Marx Aveling (daughter of Karl Marx); the more florid victorian prose is apposite for the era and truly spellbinding.

4.		The Human Stain from Vintage Price: £5.99 Customer Review: Let me just start with the silliest comment: the only way to find out whether you like this book or not, is by reading it. Most reviews here and on Amazon.com reflect ambivalent feelings. After turning the last page, mine was not altogether negative, but not entirely positive either. This was also... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		Mrs Dalloway (Penguin Popular Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: £2.00 Customer Review: Having finished `Mrs Dalloway', I was left unsure whether I actually enjoyed the book. I can clearly see why it has received so much praise as Woolf's excellent use of language truly envelopes you in the psyche of Clarissa Dalloway and the thought processes of her other dramatic devices,... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		Never Never from Tindal Street Press Price: £5.99 Customer Review: A man lies half-dead tied to a radiator. Standing over him is Apartfromtheobvious and Magnum. This amateur couple are clueless about how to finish the job in the cleanest way. Meanwhile, Eric has bills to pay and no means to do so. He helps people manage their debts for a living; unfortunately,... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		Madame Bovary (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: £5.24 Customer Review: This book is probably a masterpiece. One woman's desperate quest for freedom, and the fatal futility of it as she ventures in a wrong direction. It's a tragedy of the human race: too great to live by rules, too small to be free. Overgrown for crude conventions, dwarfed by the challenges when you... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		The Brothers Karamazov (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: £6.49 Customer Review: There's a lot to commend this edition of The Brothers Karamazov - like the typeface and the price. The translation language, however, isn't always English. I'm not talking the kind of gick you see in translations of the Odyssey, e.g. "It is all unmeet" (wtf? d'you mean Telemachus is a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		Tainted Lives from Coronet Price: £5.49 Customer Review: An excellent book which held my interest from the 1st page. I was a bit dubious as this is the 1st i've read of Ms Heller!! Similar in some respects to Martina Cole but this was less gritty and less foul language.. There is a balance of good and bad characters and story is very believable/realistic... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
