Sorry to all fans but I just find these books cringy so alas I couldn't finish it.

On a par with The Kite Runner - very moving.

Not as good as I hoped it would be - looking forward to the movie though.
Revolutionary RoadRevolutionary Road by Richard Yates
Buy new: £4.78 / Used from: £0.45
What an amazing book. It wasn't so much the story that had me hooked but the way his writes his characters. Brilliant.
The Easter ParadeThe Easter Parade by Richard Yates

Not as good as Revolutionary Road but a lovely yet sad little tale. Richard Yates writes such vivid characters.
New Moon (Twilight Saga)New Moon (Twilight Saga) by Stephenie Meyer
Buy new: £3.46 / Used from: £2.45
OK there were many things about this book that annoyed me (Bella mostly and what a drip she is) but in spite of myself I actually enjoyed the story progression. As for Edward v Jacob? Jacob, easy
Eclipse (Twilight Saga)Eclipse (Twilight Saga) by Stephenie Meyer

Pure pulp but they have me hooked.
The Time Traveler's WifeThe Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

After a very difficult summer this is the first book I read after coming out of my dark tunnel and it got me into reading again - a great book that I will remember for my own reasons
The CleftThe Cleft by Doris May Lessing

This was not what I expected, in a bad way. I did finish it but the language left me feeling flat and glad it was over.

I very much enjoyed this. An easy read and quite spooky in places.
