 The Shepherd - Frederick Forsyth
 The Shepherd - Frederick Forsyth ... RAF pilot is returning from Germany to Lakenheath on leave - 66 minutes of trouble-free, routine flying. Then, out over the North Sea, the fog begins to close in, radio contact ceases, and the compass goes haywire.Newest Review: ... described, but displays only his story telling skills. The entire book focuses on a simple plot and presented in a straight ... more ... forward manner with more focus on the details. On closer observation, half the book is on the plane itself! It's not a short story and yet umpteen short versions of it have already found their way - including school text books. It clearly made me realize the difference between solitude and loneliness.

Sets the scene for later, better novels... 
Feels like the reader has missed a book in the chain but this is the first novel in a series... Not bad for an author I haven't heard of Slightly annoying main character Gripping and asorbs you in the pre-war tension with interesting looks at how Jews were treated ends on a bit of an anti-climax which nonetheless doesn't spoil the overall tone It is bound to become very cheap to buy soon! It has ruined the concept of Dexter and what he is! Exciting adventure, easy read, outstanding writing from James Patterson. As a series fan, it doesn't quite hold up to my expectations; a longer more complex book would have. Will help you forget about reality and switch off You will not be able to put it down and will not get anything else done :)Understanding Biology for Advanced Level - Glenn Toole, Susan Toole

A wonderful book for slightly older children, beautifully illustrated Some younger children may find it a little too emotional
A Child Called 'It' - Dave Pelzer
None at all. It's a very hard, difficult, emotional read. No balance of characters, no human interaction except that between mother and son.
