I've read 5 of Sparks' books. I wouldn't say they were amazing, but I do quite enjoy them. Nights in Rodanthe was my favourite.

An Utterly Exasperated History Of Modern Britain – John O’Farrell (4.25/5) Quick-witted, funny and informative, John O’Farrell’s latest book starts where his first history book left off and he is back doing what he does best; making light of some of the most uncomical situations in British history. I laughed my way through this book which for me is always a sure sign I am enjoying it. Making fun of everyone (literally) from Churchill to Brown, O’Farrell particularly gives Thatcher both barrels. Yet through it all, O’Farrell is also sure to point out what is great about Britain making this to be honest an uplifting read even if the story starts with Britain bankrupt and in debt and ends 60 years later with Britain once more, bankrupt and in debt. A thumbs up from me.

I LOVED that book! Did you enjoy it?

Uneasy Lies The Head – Jean Plaidy (2.5/5) Now usually I love a good Jean Plaidy and generally have a huge affection for her books. I loved ‘Mary Queen of France’ and ‘Murder Most Royal’ in particular, as well as 'The Window Of Windsor' which is a all time fav book of mine. Normally, I find them to be historically accurate and quick paced. Unfortunately, for me, ‘quick paced’ was not what this book was. I found it going round in circles; rebellion after rebellion; Henry VII only caring about the treasury; Arthur could only be mentioned if his ill health was too; Young Henry the eighth could only appear if he was thinking about his desire to be Prince of Wales (and so his brother’s death) or arguing with his sister... In the end, everyone became a caricature. I appreciate that they were not the nicest people in the world, but I don’t this they were devoid of real human emotion either. A few paragraphs of tears does not make up for pages of almost mechanically motivated characters. Dull, dull, dull. Tedious at best. Can’t say I wasn’t thrilled to finish. Sorry to anyone who enjoyed it, but I just didn’t ‘get’ this book. Overall, a disappointing read from a favourite author of mine.
