I hated this book - grisley, uninteresting and generally did not hold my interest in the slightest
The Secret HistoryThe Secret History by Donna Tartt
Buy new: £6.89 / Used from: £0.01
It is difficult to discribe this book but it is brilliantly written, and has a very clever plot. One of those books which you just cant put down!
RegenerationRegeneration by Pat Barker
Buy used from: £0.01
A mediocre book discribing life in a hospital during the first world war. Read for part of my A Level English course. It was ok, but nothing special

There is only one word to describe this book - brilliant. Well written and a great story. I would definatly recommend this to anyone!

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (Agatha Christie Collection)The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (Agatha Christie Collection) by Agatha Christie
Buy used from: £2.12
This is not the first Agatha Christie novel that i've read. It all seemed good at the beginning but it has the most awful ending which made me hate the rest of the book

I read this after seeing the film and have to say that it is much much better than the film, and much much better than I expected it to be. Couldn't put it down.
Coram Boy (Contents)Coram Boy (Contents) by Jamila Gavin
Buy used from: £0.01
This was recommended to me by my younger brother, and although written for children it had a great story. Well worth reading.

Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.01
A very light hearted read. Easy to get into and easy to read. Finished in two days, but two days of very enjoyable reading.
Noughts and CrossesNoughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman
Buy used from: £0.01
My sister recommended this to me, and everyone else I know who has read it has raved about it. A good story but not as special as everyone seems to make it - maybe because it is for children/teenagers
The Rachel PapersThe Rachel Papers by Martin Amis
Buy new: £5.23 / Used from: £0.96
Read this as it sounded interesting. A bit confusing to start with as I think the time keeps changing, but once you get into it, its quite a funny read.
Captain Corelli's MandolinCaptain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis De Bernieres
Buy new: £4.64 / Used from: £0.01
Another book read because everyone said I had to. Have to admit that I hated it at first. The middle bit is far too political for my liking, but in all a very good book.
Bridget Jones: The Edge of ReasonBridget Jones: The Edge of Reason by Helen Fielding
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01
This is the funniest book that I have read in a long while. Took it on holiday with me but took me about 2 days to read. Laugh out loud funny!!!! Great!!

Buy new: £3.99 / Used from: £0.01

Pride and Prejudice (Penguin Popular Classics)Pride and Prejudice (Penguin Popular Classics) by Jane Austen
Buy new: £2.16 / Used from: £0.01
a brilliant novel. I gave up reading it at GCSE but have come back to it and thouroughly enjoyed it! I can see why everyone raves about it!
CheetCheet by Anna Davis

Someone recommended this to me at uni. A very trashy book, but a good quick read.
The TwitsThe Twits by Roald Dahl
Buy used from: £0.01
I read this after it appeared on 100 gratest reads, and realised it was one of the only Roald Dahl books I hadn't read! Much the same as the others - still good!
