1. I Am Legend - Book Review Richard Matheson's novel I Am Legend was first brought to the movie screen in the 1964 Vincent Price film The Last Man on Earth, then again with the 1971 Charlton Heston version The Omega Man. Now it's being introduced to a new generation via the 200...
2. I Am The Cheese - Book Review I Am The Cheese is often categorised as a book for young people. It deserves a wider audience than that. Yes, the protagonist is a teenager and yes, the book is written in fairly straightforward English, but what's wrong with that? The main point of...
3. A Place of Execution - Book Review This is an unusual book for McDermid for two reasons. Firstly, it's totally stand-alone and doesn't fit with any of her series. Even more unusual is the structure. It's not one book, it's two. Or possibly three.     A Place of Execution
4. Carrie White, Book Reviewer I first 'discovered' the internet in the year 2000.  One thing I used the internet for was to learn the art of book reviewing. From there, I progressed onto running my own Book Reviewing service...
5. The Mother Tongue - Book Review The Mother Tongue should be the perfect book for me. I'm a great fan of Bryson's humour writing and he's an American who understands the British psyche - hence the hilarity of Small Island. Add to that the fact that I'm the sort of sad geek who loves...
6. Playing The Moldovans At Tennis My first reaction to the mere existence of this book by British comedian Tony Hawks was one of extreme scepticism - and not merely because of my total lack of interest in football, tennis or almost any other sport. Round Ireland With A Fridge was a...
7. Billy Liar - Book Review Billy Liar was published in 1959 and is set in 1950s Yorkshire. Much has changed in the fifty years or so since then, but the human condition remains the same. Picture: Billy Liar
8. The Tooth Fairy - Book Review Despite critical acclaim, award-winning author Graham Joyce has never received the recognition he deserves. Perhaps this is because his books are difficult to categorise; they sit somewhere in between the literary mainstream and the less fashionable...
9. Hot, funny and all around very interesting books A Hunger Like No Other By Kresley Cole Book 1 in the Immortals After Dark series Buy this book
10. The Eyre Affair - Book Review Welcome to Britain in 1985. Except that this is a slightly different version of Britain. In this 1985 the Crimean War is still underway; genetically re-engineered dodos are popular pets; and the Government is facing public riots over a proposed incre...
11. The Puppet Show - Book Review One of my favourite films is The Haunting; the original 1963 version, not the risible remake. Why? Because it's a horror film where until the very end nothing happens. The result is far more frightening than any number of dead bodies. The Puppet Sho...
12. Piggies Piggies is a book for "young adults" (that dreadful phrase always reminds me of The Young Ones...). Whilst it is Gifford's first novel for this age range, he has previously written dark fiction for adults under a different name. It shows. P...
13. Online Book Reviews I read. A lot. Sometimes I feel the urge to comment on what I've read. This page contains links to a number of book reviews I've written over the years, some of which have previously appeared online at other sites but have now been moved to squidoo....
14. Dora's Room - Book Review  Fern Mary Miller is an orphan. She lives in a small house in Bristol with Dring, her nursemaid since she was a child, and Paula, her American friend and lodger. She is quiet, unadventurous and lives a safe, predictable life. To be frank she is...
15. The Bridge - Book Review The Bridge is based on an intriguing concept: extra-terrestrial contact gone wrong. The story starts with an alien race deciding to try and contact other planets. They send out a huge number of automated "pods" all designed to communicate...
16. Pixel Juice - Book Review I assume that you've read Jeff Noon's first novel, Vurt? You haven't? Then go and buy it tomorrow. No, make that today. Vurt is a great book. It's hard work and takes a lot of getting in to but is worth the effort. Noon's following novels expand on...
