Review:The book was an ex-Library book from Britain, and had the title page and another page ripped out of the front of the book. I knew it was a used book but it was reported in good condition, and I do not consider a book with mutilated pages "good". Read more

Review:The description of life in the former Soviet Union is bleak and scary. If it is accurate (and I have no reason to question it), it is heartwarming to see how freedom would have been valued. It is a good plot and fun to watch it develop as you read. Read more

Review:This was a slow moving spy thriller not my usual read but fancied a change. An Honorable man the authors debut novel which is based on a true story which is described in the after forward this itself would make a great historical non fiction read possibly more so than the novel itself. The plot is based around the 1950's cold war and agent George Mueller has been deemed the best man for the job of finding the mole by the CIA who are reeling from finding a double agent within their ranks.

Review:I loved this book before I had only a vague idea about Norse mythology and I now understand all off the important concepts and more about the most major gods. However I think any one under 13 might get bored. Read more

But it is a very good read and enjoyable. The characters are well developed and the story line is well written. I hate cliffhangers but I am excited the read more about these two characters.

A short quick read.

Review:A very good story that keeps you guessing what will happen next. There are times that you can guess what will happen next and other times that you can't. I really liked it and am looking forward to the next book. Read more

Review:Exhilarating and Enjoyable! You get sucked into the book as a character yourself. "Whatever Happened to Janie?" answers all. People were dancing in joyous celebration in New Jersey for the return of a lost loved one. What had happened after Janie hung up the phone? Was it then a happily ever after story? Or did it make you feel the frustration and pain she would go through? Had the worry and fright stopped? Had the grief lost it's way through the Springs? New sorrow began as a different st...

Review:If you are starting with Pratchett, you should not start with this one, as the references to previous novels will be difficult to understand. It has its fair share of wisdom and phrases you will wish you had come up with yourself. Read more
