Hi Ella - I haven't seen the film
![]() Loving the book though, so I guess I would only be disappointed in the film?

To be honest - no! But it has such good reviews on Amazon. Maybe I haven't reached the good bit yet

Midnight in Peking - Paul French
This is a non fiction crime investigation of a famous murder in 1937. The details of the lives of both British and Chinese in Peking at that time are fascinating. And the murder really is intriguing. |

Glad it's not just me! I was starting think I was missing something as the Amazon reviews are so spectacular. I don't know if I'll have the stamina to read on....

I usually find that the film based on a book is not as good or a let down,I remember when the film The Beach came out and the book was fab,a great read and gripped me from the start but the film was awful and added sex scenes in for effect between the main characters that hadn't even happened in the book(why do film makers think everyone wants sex scenes in the films

Finished Karin Fossum's The Water Edge. After an unimpressive opening novel in the Inspector Sejer series, I was pleasantly surprised by this second offering. A great study of the impact of crime on families affected and we get to learn much more about Sejer and his partner Skarre

Finished 3rd Volume of Chris Mullin's Diaries, " A Walk on Part". They cover the period between John Smith's death and the second year of the Blair Government. Full of honest observations about his colleagues and the machinations of the Westminster village. Best political diaries since Tony Benn and Alan Clark.

Gave up on Enchantments by Kathryn Harrison as it got quite boring.
Now reading The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery. It's one of those books where nothing actually happens but it's quite deep - usually hate those kind of books but I'm really liking this. Read the first chapter of 50 Shades of Grey, I won't be carrying on with it. |

Londonistan by Melanie Phillips
This book describes how a mixture of government policies by successive Tory and Labour governments created a large and fierce fifth column of radical Muslim inside the UK's borders. |

The German Genius..its unfortunate that all the science, engineering and culture that Germany has contributed to the world is overshadowed by Hitler and the Nazis and two World Wars.

Can anyone tell me what the Hunger Games is about and whether it's a good read?

Halfway through Goblet of Fire (my favourite HP and the one I've read the most times, already regretting not saving it for my hols). Harry and Ron are friends again and all is well with the world. Always hated the bits were they fall out when I was younger but suppose it's a normal part of friendships.

Skeleton Key - Stephen King
Have read this collection of short stories before but had forgotten how good they are. ps If you are about to go swimming you don't want to read The Raft which is one of them

Catch me if you can
I know the guy was a massive criminal and con man but I think the whole story is brilliant. |

I'm reading The Midwife's Confession by Diane Chamberlain.
It's very good so far. |
