Bit of a page turner 
Plot as thin as the paper it is written on Great characterisation and writing His style might not be to everyone's taste written with first hand knowledge of the situations could be too much testosterone in it Gripping story with excellently drawn characters Gruesome in parts Taut, tense storyline; a fitting contribution from Connelly None for Connelly fans! Stylish prose Not much dialogue, depressingThe Power of Positive Thinking - Norman Vincent Peale
Health / Medical - Peale, Norman Vincent
Blackberry Wine - Joanne Harris
easy to read, interesting none
Sputnik Sweetheart - Haruki Murakami
A readable love story with a twist, sprinkled with Murakami's ace signature trademark elements - plus good translation A little bit formulaic and grey, and ends abruptly. Not a new love venture for Murakami at all, and it's not one of his best works overall
Woman in White - Wilkie Collins
Gripping, Unpredictable Some might not like the fact that its style is Victorian rather than modern
Slaughterhouse Five - Kurt Vonnegut
Spans all manner of genres and subjects, but always memorably written Rather hard to get into Vonnegut's style at first
Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha - Roddy Doyle
Beautifully written, Funny, Very moving It'll probably make you cry
Harlequin - Bernard Cornwell

Mr Nice - Howard Marks
Interesting, funny, remarkable. none.
The Silmarillion - J.R.R.Tolkien
Thousands of years of history is a small volume! Difficult prose at times, lacks the genius of JRR to flesh out the stories
