Finished Sean Black's Lockdown yesterday, what a great debut novel, great sense of humour, and some well thought out drama. The characters were well executed (not literally of course). If you haven't already read this one, I'd recommend it.
Began reading Lynda La Plant's 'Silent Scream' yesterday, and as this is the first of her books I've ever bought, it's already shaping up to be very intriguing and well written. Getting into the characters as easily as The Guv's, and enjoying every page so far!!

Started reading One and Two Halves to K2 by James Ballard. It's about the journey of climber Alison Hargreaves' family to K2. Alison successfully reached the summit of this mountain, without oxygen, in 1995, but was killed on the descent. It's a fascinating book and I'm enjoying it immensely.

Just finished 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. It's taken me nearly a month as I found it a little bit long winded. Have started 'The seventh month' by Lisa Gardner today.

Just starting The Snowman by Jo Nesbo.
Finished Bloodland by Alan Glynn last night. The first 100 or so pages were quite tedious as he indulged in prolonged scene-setting and I almost gave up, but then the pace picked up and it became a very enjoyable conspiracy thriller.

The Trafficked by Lee Weeks, a new author to me.
Finished The Snowman by Jo Nesbø last night. Another great read from this talented author. I was somewhat bugged by the book cover though. While I can accept someone's right to make the comparison on the back cover to the first book of Steig Larrson's triology, I cannot accept the quote from The Independent on the front cover proclaiming "The next Steig Larrson". Nesbø was published at least three years before Larrson and is more prolific. Granted we will never know how much more work Larrson could have produced had he not died so tragically young.

After vowing never to read another Karen Rose book I stupidly started reading No one left to tell. I'm so mad with myself because I now have to finish it, but it's just the same as all her others crappy romance unnecessary sex scenes with a little drama thrown in  |

I'm so mad with myself because I now have to finish it, but it's just the same as all her others crappy romance unnecessary sex scenes with a little drama thrown in Agreed - one was my limit, I'm afraid. Just finished Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. Not my usual fare, but sounded interesting, about a Columbine-type shooting, and the before, during and after. I found it a rather simplistic treatment of a very complex event - the shooter being the bullied small-for-his-age specky loner who never got the girl. Sigh. Quite disappointing really - the subject definitely deserved a bit more originality, insight and intensity, and a bit less yucky love stuff. |

Have you read We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver, Carol. It seems to convey everything - complexity, turmoil and the emotional charge that you clearly felt were lacking in Nineteen Minutes. The ending too is so poignant and thought provoking. The movie is also worth a watch. |

I've seen the film, Clash - Nineteen minutes sadly didn't shine by comparison.
