This book should be recommended reading for anyone planning to have a baby.

This book can be summarized in two words: Stockholm Syndrome.

A sweeping, riveting apocalyptic thriller that’s right up there with the likes of Stephen King’s Under The Dome.

I really wanted to be able to read this book cover to cover, but I gave up after Chapter 11. Although the writing is solid, Conlon repeats himself. There are only so many ways to describe police ops and politics before a reader gets thoroughly bored. I’d still recommend it to anyone interested in the inner workings of the NYPD, though.

A touching, believable imagining of an Alzheimer’s Disease patient’s gradual and inevitable descent into insanity. Recommended reading for all.

A delightfully trashy novel with an interesting plot. Bagshawe is fast becoming one of my favourite chick-lit authors.

I bought this book for my doctor sister for Christmas last year and always wanted to read it myself, so when I saw it at a book sale, I picked it up. Best 5 bucks spent on a book, ever! While Roach’s subject matter is fascinating, it’s not exactly stuff you would consider funny by most counts. But her excellent writing and wicked sense of humour had me giggling and guffawing by turns. I love this book and I can’t wait to see what she’ll write next.

The animation is really blocky and amateurish (the reason for which is explained fully by the extra features in the DVD version), and it takes a while to get into the plot, but otherwise it’s alright. Nowhere as good as Shrek though.

Really well-written and certainly deserving of its position on the Man Booker longlist, but could have benefited from tighter editing. Still, a very good read.

Absolutely fantastic. I enjoyed Out from start to finish, although I’m feeling slightly sick from reading it. Can’t wait for Kirino’s other novels to be translated into English!
