 | Born of the Sun by Gillian Cross
Buy used from: £16.83 Just doesn't grab your attention.
|
 | Camberwell Beauty by Jenny Eclair
Buy new: £5.48 / Used from: £0.01 Characters stale, trashy story.
|
 | The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger
Buy new: £4.89 / Used from: £0.45 All the hype just didn't add up. Call me stupid, but the narrative style was hard to bear and the protagonist was dull.

 | Notes from a Small Island by Bill Bryson
Buy new: £5.29 / Used from: £0.01 He just trawls through England. Slow-moving, not as witty as he has proved before.
|
 | The Temple of Optimism by James Fleming
Buy used from: £0.01 Hard to get into.
|
 | The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
Buy new: £4.00 / Used from: £0.01 Frankly, it was boring.
|
 | Jane Eyre (Penguin Classics) by Charlotte Bronte
Buy used from: £1.12 Jane was just not likeable.
|
 | The Aeneid (Wordsworth Classics) by Virgil
Buy new: £1.99 / Used from: £0.01 Ok, it is an epic, but Aeneas isn't very exciting. You have to read 11 of the 12 books to get some excitement out of him. Interesting to study, not for a pleasurable read though.
