  • Violence 101

    By Denis Wright
    5 stars

    Interesting book which is an eye opener on a young boy who believes violence is the answer.

  • Twelve Angry Men

    By Reginald Rose
    5 stars

    Play that I’ve always liked how one person can make a difference. Thinking about whether this will be a good book for my year 12s.

  • Landings

    By Jenny Patrick
    4 stars

    Enjoyable historical story which seemed well researched. I found it took me longer to read than her other one. Not the same page turner. Enjoyed it nevertheless.

    Rereading again to possibly see whether I’ll continue to teach year 10s this year. I have done in the past and the students love it.

    By Charity Norman

    Great page turner. My absolute favourite from this wonderful author.

  • In Our Own Back Yard

    By Anne Kayes
    4 stars

    Insightful look at the age of the Springbok Tour plus experiences of racism. Enjoyable and maybe a good one to do in class as it’s quite a small book.

  • A Keeper

    By Graham Norton
    4 stars

    Nice easy reading. Not his best but enjoyable anyway. Some twists but predictable in the end.

  • The Five People You Meet in Heaven

    By Mitch Albom
    4 stars

    Enjoying this so far as the main character’s life unfolds when he meets people in heaven after his death.
