There are many as I do take four Random books from the library every two weeks, I have found some great writers. I do force myself to read SCI Fi so I would have to say that SCi Fi is always a challenge but once finished I do enjoy it.

i just hate the DFS Adverts using that "I wanna be a Rock Star" song. In 1987 the average ad break was two minutes. in 2008/09 the average ad break is five minutes, The longest ad breaks are on the Virgin Channel an average of eight minutes.

Well not all. Have you read Funland ? Yes it is a trait but many Horror writers involve Sex. Shaun Hutson, Clive Barker and James Herbert do as does Stephen King sometimes. Yes I agree with 16/20 as some Laymon are a bit Lame on storyline

I would go with IT I read Christine when I was 15 but put it down 35 years later I read it and could not put it down.

Great. it is much better than most haunted live

Nightmare on elm Street The Jazz Singer- Neil Diamond Fame The Commitments IT Blazing Saddles The Al Jolson Story

Well Stephen Kings "Needfull Things" was not dark enough in the film. IT was spot on as was The Stand. I remember reading The Bodyguard and Dirty Harry in one sitting, but I think the books were of the film not vice versa

What a load of squit. As a bit of a snake fan most if not all of the snakes portrayed either dont exist or are harmless. I am not keen on American films and the swearing certainly does not appeal to me.

I have just read this fantastic book about a Mummy that comes to life. It is by far the best Laymon I have ever read. there are at least three sub plots and all but one revolves around sex. The Blind Girl, and escaping trio of youths and an Egyptian Sex Maniac. although the book has several sexual scenes the characters all gel into one by , witnessing the Mummies killing spree. All but one sub plot ends in a way that the reader will come to realise but I was amused to find out who the Egyptian nymphomaniac choose as his last conquest. I would have loved to have found out more about him and his last bed fellow. Virginia made a life changing decision too and it is one that will suprise the reader when it happens. If you have never read Laymon then try reading this one it will be a apge turner but it is not really suitable for the under 13's. The final scenes were brilliant too, cant wait until my next Laymon book.

Having purchased this from a charity shop I read a few pages then put it down, I expect to pick it up again one day though. I remember it being in the Richard and Judy Book club once.

Just introduced my Girlfriend to Pickled Eggs with worster sauce in a bag of ready salted crisps.

The whole TV programme is annoying, We seem to be getting so much reality tv which is just a load of rubbish I have sent my TV licence back. Asking for a refund.

I dislike his Chase books, As with James Herbert I prefer his earlier books

Oliver Twist is a very dark novel. I like some others here I read a block at a time. The words and descriptions are very heavy and I need to savour the passages I read hence just reading so many pages and thinking about what I have read. I now make notes on my Lap top which helps me when I review the book.

Helmut Hidemeuke was a German POW and was assigned to tend the Gardens of the Great Hall in Suffolk. He was an attentive careful gardener growing and harvesting fruit and vegetables for the great house. During the Autumn of 1944 he spent two days carefully planting crocus bulbs on the large lawn in the front of the house. "Thas nice" the housekeeper thought as she stood on the balcony overlooking his work. "Theys be sum pretty when thets cum up" she said to the admiring Lady of the house. "I think we will ask him to stay when the war is over he is such a gentle being" said the lady. In the spring of 1945 they bloomed and the flowers spelt. "Heil Hitler"

It was a cold November afternoon in 1940 and the Home Guard were practising throwing Grenades up by Norwich way and Simple Johns mother had knitted him a pair of mittens to keep his hands warm. As John walked up to have a throw at the Grenade he pulled the pin but the grenade became tangled in his mitten. Everyone ran away and hid up in the bunker knowing that the Grenade would kill master Wright and sure enough there was this big bang. As the NCO ran up to John with the medics it was clear he had totally lost his right arm. On giving medical attention John came round and said. "Blust my mum will be rum annoyed with me" She took three weeks to knit those blimmin gloves"

I have just recieved my review copy of Die Laughing. George Korankye Consider this. There were 9 Million mobalized Britsh Empire soldiers in WWI of those there were 3 million dead or injured. Of the total combatants in WWI there were 60 million of which thirty seven million five hundred and eight thousand six hundred and eighty six were killed or injured. Of the allied forces 40 million were mobalized and 22 million were killed or injured. But still they found the time to laugh. It is a humourous account of those who lived and died from WW1 to The Modern day wars. The Aunty with the Whiskey is a contemporary war joke. It is very funny and there are some sad, sometimes black humour stories but all in all it is a great read. I sent in a few anecdotes my grandfather told me about the War so will be looking out for these. It would make a great Christmas present for an elderly relative who lived during the war or a book for children who should learn about the funny side of conflict.

At a quarter to midnight a Policeman on foot patrol sees a car parked with the interior light on in a dark lane. He knocks on the car window and sees a young lad in the drivers seat and a girl in the rear, the lad is reading a magazine and the girl in the back is knitting. "How old are you?" the copper asks the lad "17 sir" he replies. The Pc looks at the girl and says "How old are you my girl" She looks at her watch and says "In 15 minutes I will be 16"

Well I tried Skate for the first time, I dont like Fish cos of the bones but my Landlord told me Skate dont have none. It was nice,

Ok I should have read the book and come to my own conclusion but I read the reviews on Amazon before I read the book and the reviewers slated it. So do you read reviews before the book? No it has not put me off reading it because I want to write my own review, negative or not.

How do you take the reviews if they are less than positive? Shaun Hutson I believe has asked his readers how they would improve his books. I would really take to heart any negative comments made about my books. I agree it would be very nerve racking

My dole money arrived so its a Chinese takeaway

I often wondered if any authors read our reviews and comments and those on Amazon say. I often write direct to them if I find any mistakes, usually of a natural history theme, but I found one in a book in which the hero used C02 as an imflaminant. I do get replies and have had my corrections re written in subsequent re prints. If writers do read our reviews would they ever come on here and reply? CJ.
