Readable and fast-paced. 
Perhaps a little simplistic. Gripping story Lack of characterisation, not sure about the sub-plot A decent enough story Nothing terribly original First rate crime fiction from the man that knows None from where I'm standing The heroine is spirited, witty and highly intelligent None It is not badly written The 'meaning' doesn't shine throughSophocles: Antigone - Sophocles
Classic Literature - Sophocles
Winterbirth - Brian Ruckley
A different style to the usual fantasy fayre, intriguing characters over a majestic landscape. Slow introduction means some perserverance is required.

Preston Pig is such a lovable character none
Little Bear's Bad Day - Maurice Sendak
Fred the Angel - Martin Waddell

What could be wrong about an ODD THOMAS novel.....he's such a truly great character The weakest of the series by far-should Koontz have left this series as a one-off?

If your spirituality is waning, this could give you a jolt Some may find it annoying, won't particuarly appeal to atheists (read it anyway!)
Softies: Farm Animals - Joanna Bicknell
The book is very realistic and fun for your baby/child. There aren't any.
