I borrowed my brothers copy of World War Z and I couldn't get past the first page. I was told it gets better so may have to give it another go.

Reading Bel Canto and just can't seem to get into it. I'm setting myself a new goal of if I don't like a book within the first 100 pages I'm packing it in.

Dan Brown - Deception Point.
This is the second DB novel I've read - the other was The Da Vinci Code but this second one is better in my opinion! |

I posted earlier:
Currently on a re-read of Scott Smith's rather good 'A Simple Plan' and am going on to read his later book 'The Ruins' straight after! Well that plan failed.A Simple plan is still a gruelling exercise in tension and angst,and I found it totally gripping both times that I have now read it.I would reccomend it to anyone! The Ruins,on the other hand,is dire. Kiddy fiction,written with kiddies in mind apparently, (or,as with the first book,one eye on making a screenplay of this,which has been done,by the author!) Awful,tedious,unbelievable characters in a stock horror movie cliche setting,poor dialogue and laughable horror.I shudder to think that I wasted time getting about one third of the way through this pap before abandoning it,and checking online that what I thought was going to happen,did indeed happen! Very poor,especially after such a cracking debut novel! 1/10 |

I couldn't help drawing comparisons with the McCanns, although I probably shouldn't really say that, if you read the book you'll understand why! ![]() Just started The Blackheath Seance Parlour by Alan Williams as recommended here. Only read the first chapter so can't give much of an opinion yet but it seems promising. |

Nocturne(s) ? by John Connolly - creepy short stories- the first one was horrible- but I'll keep on with it as some are meant to be like M R James type tales.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. Only just started this and no word of a lie, I had tears of laughter rolling down my face reading it this morning...

Calling me home by Julie Kibler. I'm enjoying it but not so much that I'm rushing home from work to pick it up again.
