  • Can you forgive her?

    By Anthony Trollope
    1 stars

    Only marginally less god awful dirge than Anna Karenina. This never gets anywhere. The pitiful whinings of 1860's middle class English - for the love of Gods, there are children dying in mines and up chimneys, get a grip! Can you believe that there is a Trollop Society who admire this man? Maybe they just joined for the name?

  • The Great When

    By Alan Moore
    5 stars

    I really only got this audio book to be able to listen to Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, whose voice is divine (he narrates the Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovitch). However, I was pleasantly surprised. Moore knows London and I felt connected and engaged in the story of an alternative reality, magical realism, fantasy, YA. I am waiting for the next book.

  • The Second Sleep

    By Robert Harris
    3 stars

    Started interestingly, got better, engaging and kept me wanting more - a really interesting concept - but I felt rather "meh" by the ending. The ending was just rather, "oh, that's that then".

  • Skipshock

    By Caroline O'Donaghue
    4 stars

    If you like YA fantasy fiction this is a great easy read - keeps you engaged and wanting to know more. UNTIL the last page which comes as a blow - I understand that a second book is on it's way though and can't wait.
