More a book of politics than high fantasy. Still engaging and fun.
A high paced fantasy. Very easy to read and exciting. Great characters and an inventive world. Highly recommend for any fantasy enthusiasts.
A Good Keen Read
Jack Reacher thriller. Plenty of action and mystery.
An action thriller retelling of Operation Willis, the German plan to abduct Edward VII and his wife during WW2.
Again Stephen Fry does a magnificent job of making a huge Greek epic palatable. While adding his own dash of humour. Odyssey is both entertaining and informative.
Fast paced action thriller. High stakes, thin plot, lots of heroics.
A lovely book about being good at what you love and accepting you don't need to be good at everything. A great book for boys who like cars as well.
An action thriller set in two different time periods. Reilly keeps the action flowing non-stop. Very clever in the way he weaves true history with fiction.
The epic conclusion to the Belgariad series. Huge battles, gods, magic and Prophecy. A great end to a solid series.
Fourth book in the Belgariad reveals a lot of key plot points but suffers in the second half as it builds to the grand climax of the final book.
A very clever story. Lots more fun of you are familiar with Shakespeare as you can get a lot more of the jokes.
Book 3 of the Belgariad. Possibly the best of the series. All the characters are now well established and our hero begins to come into his own.
Book 2 in the Belgariad series. New characters and new settings make this a great continuation on the first book.
A great followup to The Gruffalo. Marvellous writing as usual and magnificent pictures by Axel Scheffler.
Counting and Pirates... the perfect combination.
It's a lovely Christmas tale about getting used to change.
Favourite book from my childhood. Great introduction to the world of high fantasy.
