Looking For Alaska by John Green
Reviewed by Jon
A powerful and excellently written coming of age tale which has fast become my favourite book. Pudge is a typical teenager, not stereotypically popular or unpopular, just crushingly normal. Except he's obsessed with people's last dying words. Tired of the monotony of his usual education he enrolls at a boarding


You're A Bad Man Mr Gum by Andy Stanton
Reviewed by Jon
The first book in ages that has had me laughing out loud in public, much to my embarassment. Mr Gum is a horrible man who lives in a messy, smelly house. However, his garden is beautiful because if it is anything less a fairy magically appears and beats him


Ultramarines Omnibus by Graham McNeill
Reviewed by Craig
Whether you're a fan of Warhammer 40,000 or not, this book is worth a look for any sci-fi or war story fan. Marvel at the exploits of superhuman Space Marines as they blow chunks out of various baddies in three different stories. Cool!


in the woods by tana french
Reviewed by jane
its a page turning, psychological thriller with lots of twists & turns & leaves you with a sense of wanting to read more of her work. Her new novel 'likeness' is due to be published in august


Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
Reviewed by Craig
A fantastic flight of fantasy set below the streets of London, featuring angels, rat people, creepy girls in black & many other truly bizarre characters, all seen from the point of view of an Average Joe businessman! Yeah!


Dr Who Magazine
