Angels & Demons by Dan Brown
Reviewed by James
If you have already read, or plan to read another one of Dan Brown's classics "The Da Vinci Code", then this book is an absolute must. The book takes you on an epic journey with a Harvard professor Robert Langdon, which involves various police force chaces and conspiracies, the catholic


Secret by Rhonda Bryne
Reviewed by Francis
A clever fusion of cosmic ordering and positive thinking, Rhonda Byrne's 'The Secret' has become little short of a global phenomenon. Discover 'The Secret' to the all important 'Law of Attraction' for yourself!


Airman by Eoin Colfer
Reviewed by Linda
This is the best stand alone title by far. Conor Broekhart was born in a hot air balloon, accused of murder, imprisoned, beaten, can't sink any lower, dreams of flight and becomes a mysterious airman. To find out if he actually makes it you'll have to read the book.


Disturbia by DJ Caruso
Reviewed by Natalie
It is not ridiculously scary but scary enough and rather jumpy in places. The way the film comes together in the end is really good and it reminds me of a scary "American Pie" type teen movie. Shia LaBeouf plays a brilliant part. I like it because of the storyline.


New Europe by Michael Palin
Reviewed by Francis
Michael Palins enthusiastic zest for travel leaks onto every page of this book. This book accompanies his BBC hit travel documentary. An extremely enjoyable book which shows Michael Palin at his best.

Being John Malkovich by Spike Jonze
Reviewed by Jodie
Well, firstly it's just fantastic. Though the storyline is odd and sometimes confusing, you must watch it all the way through to enjoy it fully. The concept behind the beautiful story is magical and reminds me of classic movies growing up such as "Cocoon". I would recommend this film to


The Mosquito Coast by Paul Theroux
Reviewed by Matthew
This book is a character study of a flawed genius as his dreams unravel. It is intriguing. It is a panoramic travelog of a beautiful and dangerous honduran jungle. It is fascinating. It is a tale of perilous adventure. It is heartpounding. It is all of these things, and it


Trout Fishing in America by Richard Brautigan
Reviewed by Matthew
It is pointless to describe a plot to this work, and fruitless to detail a cast of characters. This book positively defies explanation. As for the silly grin it will give you from start to finish, well that's easily explained: Brautigan is good for you.


Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk
Reviewed by Lucy
A collection of short stories from the author of Fight Club, which are definitely not for the faint hearted or the weak stomached.


Family Guy Presents Blue Harvest by Seth MacFarlane
Reviewed by Paul
Star wars and Family Guy fans will love this epic spoof. In a hilarious take on Episode IV, Stewie rules the galaxy as Darth Vader, along side Mayor West as Tarkin. Chris has "the time of his life" leading the rebellion and learning the force alongside Han Solo (Peter) and


The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
Reviewed by Mark
I thought I would find this book boring and difficult to relate to. Instead I was extremely moved and I loved it.
