Eloquently written, Varied and moving stories 
A little sad in places. Light, easy to read, amusing none More ordinary plot that The Dice Man, less graphic sex Need to have read the first book, less philosophy, just generally less interesting Easy to read. No point to the story – twaddle! Entertaining , Fast Paced NoneTroy: Lord of the Silver Bow - David Gemmell
Good battles, some decent writing Overly long and complicated, too many leads
The God Delusion - Richard Dawkins
Often thought-provoking, very good at making Big Ideas comprehensible. Overwhelmingly smug at times, shows little understanding of how religion actually WORKS.
Notes from the Teenage Underground - Simmone Howell
Great characterisation, plot, interesting narration, realistic characters The fact that it ends...I wanted to know more about Gem and what she does next
Postman Pat's Washing Day - John Cunliffe
Children like this postman none
The Bunk-Bed Bus - Frank Rodgers
Fun book for children. None
Trance Warriors: The Siege of Scarn - Robert C. Auty
good battle half very sketchy buildup and intro half

So moving it will pluck your heart stings. A bit difficult to get into the yiddish worldview.

Great story and art, great promise for future stories None really
Yeah, I Made it Myself - Eithne Farry
Inspiring and full of ideas, a big confidence boost Can lack detail
The Lady of Fire and Tears: Tudor Chronicles 3 - Terry Deary
good and easy read. Difficult to figure out a title for my review.
