Janet Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 The House of Sleep - Jonathan Coe Funny, quirky, mad story about a group of people linked by sleep, or lack of it, very clever and wry. Wow - I'm seriously impressed with how much you read! Just out of interest, why no mark out of 10 for this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louiseog Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 Colin Cotterill - Disco for the Departed, great great I love this series about a coroner in Laos, very Precious McKenzie. Blind Faith - Ben Elton another fantastic book, dystopian world very clever and eerie Toby Alone - Timothy de Frombelle another great book, created a world that worked. It's number one in the series can't wait for the next. Now Marian Keyes - This Charming Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louiseog Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 This Charming Man was good, I like MK because she never lets you down, always a good read! Food of Love by Anthony Capella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Butter Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Could have sworn I'd posted this already, but can't see it anywhere. Anyway - I'm a couple of chapters into The Coroner's Lunch, and it looks like it's going to be a great read. Good recommendation, Louise!

Louiseog Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 Enjoyed Food of Love, sort of Cyrano de Bergerac for cooks and made me very hungry! Whitewash by Alex Kave, environmental theme, good thriller. Entertaining Angels, for book of the month. Promising start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louiseog Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 And great middle and end, will post on relevant thread. Artemis Fowl and The Time Paradox, great ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelofboox Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I read that a few months ago, and thought it was okay but definitely not the best one yet. And did Minerva just disappear? She seemed like a new character in the last book but didn't feature at all in the latest, as far as I can remember... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louiseog Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 No she didn't had forgotten that one! Lullaby Clare Seeber This was a great thriller, had me gripped to the last page. 5/5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louiseog Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 (edited) Murder at Deviation Junction by Andrew Martin Crime about trains, OK. Agatha Raisin and the Curious Curate, good fun again! Robert Rankin - The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse THE HOLLOW CHOCOLATE BUNNIES OF THE APOCALYPSE is set in Toy City, once Toy Town, but now older, bigger and certainly not wiser. The Old Rich, who have made their millions from the royalties on their world-famous nursery rhymes, are being slaughtered. One by One. Horribly. A psychopath is on the loose. He must be stopped at all costs. It's a job for Toy City's only detective - but he's missing, leaving Eddie Bear to track down the mad killer, with the aid only of his bestest friend, Jack, and a wide cast of truly unforgettable characters. This is a wonderfully funny book from the irreverent, hilarious writer of WEB SITE STORY, THE SPROUTS OF WRATH and The Brentford Trilogy. Ace, an author to rival Jasper Fforde for me funny and clever Edited September 7, 2008 by Louiseog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
