Chris Hallam comments on Wednesday Wish List: The Chaos Walking Trilogy By Patrick Ness

Just started the first book after seeing it on your website. Downloaded a sample to my Kindle and then bought it. Interesting style which some people may find off putting but once you are into it, it becomes second nature. Only into the 4th Chapter but I'm hooked.

I can see why kids will love it, this is rebellion for the bofs...

I've tried doing something similar with the Goodreads, but it failed to find a lot of my books, I thought this was odd because most of them are on Amazon. I might try this app instead

This was made into a children's tv show sometime in the 80's I think. Really enjoyed it then but had no idea it was a book.

Lorraine comments on Thursday Book Cover: The Colour Of Magic By Terry Pratchett

I loved the cover of the copy of My Cousin Rachel that I read for book club last month. I have a hardback copy of The Girl With Glass Feet that I am looking forward to reading very much. The cover is very pretty, but it's the silver edging on the pages that really makes it sublime.

Chris Hallam comments on Rivers Of London By Ben Aaronovitch

Yes a contemporary book about magic. Extremely enjoyable, shot through with humour, a pleasant adult alternative to Harry! The fact that's it's set in present day London made it all the more enjoyable as I was able better picture the place settings. An easy read at a hectic pace, looking forward to the second book, Moon over Soho.

Helen comments on The Island Of Dr Moreau By H.G. Wells

It is an excellent book, but very creepy. I read it on the train and was a bit freaked out when someone suddenly sat next to me! I was so engrossed, I jumped out of my skin.
