Books that made me think for days afterwards
Rainbow SixRainbow Six by Tom Clancy
Buy new: £5.96 / Used from: £0.01
End of the world premise which reads like a Hollywood blockbuster. Doomsday terrorism mixes with SAS-style countermeasures. Don't miss this!
The JesterThe Jester by James Patterson & Andrew Gross
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01
Do you have an interest in History? Religion? Romance? If so, this is for you. Best book I have ever read; it really made me feel for the characters. Couldn't put this down.
TimelineTimeline by Michael Crichton
Buy new: £5.96 / Used from: £0.01
A brilliant insight to medieval France with a few gripping twists along the way. Avoid the movie like the plague though...!
SphereSphere by Michael Crichton
Buy new: £5.59 / Used from: £0.01
This level of sc-fi doesn't usually get me, but this was frightening and well written. Disappointing ending though.
Harry Potter Pbk Boxed SetHarry Potter Pbk Boxed Set by J.K. Rowling
Buy used from: £25.00
Prisoner of Azkaban is the best for characterisation and twists but the Harry Potter universe is a masterpiece. Rowling seamlessly follows through with every plot and every character. DO NOT MISS OUT!
The Bourne IdentityThe Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum
Buy new: £5.96 / Used from: £0.01
Old cliche but I couldn't stop myself reading just another chapter. The movie was good but this is top-drawer.
SavageSavage by Richard Laymon
Buy new: £6.96 / Used from: £0.01
A wonderful take on the Jack the Ripper legacy but the other half is a heart-breaking adventure of discovery in 19th century America.
PompeiiPompeii by Robert Harris
Buy used from: £0.01
I felt like I was there when reading this. The era and civilisation is beautifully realised and depicted.
Deception PointDeception Point by Dan Brown
Buy used from: £0.01
This book kept me guessing right up until the end. Sucks you in with one truth then spits you out with another. Superbly written.
Patriot GamesPatriot Games by Tom Clancy
Buy new: £6.55 / Used from: £0.01
Terrorism that strikes very close to home these days. Lots of suspense and leaves you wanting more at the end.
The Neverending StoryThe Neverending Story by Michael Ende
Buy used from: £1.51
The movie was terrific but this book is head and shoulders above it. It's marmite - either you'll love it or hate it but know this - it's pure escapism of the highest order.
Once...Once... by James Herbert
Buy used from: £0.01
A mixture of sex, violence, fantasy, beauty, and intrigue. Modern-day faerie / goblin tale twisted into a dark world of deception.
