Pornographically good Advantages: Great insight to what these characters we love to hate have been doing Disadvantages: you'll be up all night not being able to put this down I brought this book after watching Trainspotting, I love the dialogue at the end, The Choose life one, when it suddenly occured to me that Irvine himself but be an alright sort of writer. After trawling all the bookshops for Trainspotting and not being patient enough for it to be delivered I decided to buy Porno, the sequel. I can honestly say this book changed my life, Welsh's depiction of how different personalities work, what makes them tick, ... ...and really hit home. The way we know Spud who really just hasnt a clue or the confidence to be himself, his need to be liked and loved by others leads to exactly the opposite. My favourite character though is Sick Boy who's always scheming, and ever growing coke habit lead to him being stupidly over confident and therefore eventually lead to his loss of money, girlfriend and anything else he ever had. I love the way his overconfidence and constant ... deenie80 12.08.2008 · Read Full Review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Porno - Irvine Welsh	Would you read it again?

Step into an Other demension Advantages: Great book that packs a punch! Disadvantages: Can get lost in translation The Day watch is part of a four book series written by Russian author Sergei Lukyanenko. The first book in the series is called " The Night watch" but this novel isn't available to review on ciao so I will combine my review of that book with a review of the second book "The Day watch". I hadn't heard of the author before nor had I come across any of his books. I can imagine writing in the fantasy genre in Solviet Russia wasn't easy, it must have ... ...country, never mind the rest of the world. However towards the end of the millenia he first released his book "The Night watch". It was a hit in Russia and was made into quite a high budget film! The sucess of the film ultimately led to huge popularity in the books. It wasn't long after that the rest of the world was introduced to this series. A movie sequel soon followed!

best book i have ever read Advantages: everything Disadvantages: no sequeal! ...this book is. The curious incident of the dog in the nightime is about a boy called Christopher with Asperger's Syndrome, which means he finds it difficult to deal with and understand human emotions. at first glance, i thought this book would be like a typical mystery but boy was i wrong. i decided to start reading it after numerous people were telling me to read it and i am so glad i did. the first thing that really attracted me to this book was ... ...also his witty character and the fact that he does not realise just how humourous he is. the beginning of the book is so direct and to the point that i just had to read on since there was no waffling around but completely straight to the point. the first scene is just as the front cover illustrates: a dog with a pitchfork stabbed throught it. readers begin to travel throught this novel with Christopher and find they are entrapped in his life which ... r_c12345 22.03.2009 · Read Full Review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time - Mark Haddon	Would you read it again?

Amazing, gripping, teen romance! Advantages: Easy to read, you can't put it down Disadvantages: There isn't another book!. . . yet! This series of books is amazing. I couldn't put them down. They are written brilliantly, and keep you gripped from the start. You can relate to the characters, even if it is very supernatural! Stephanie Meyer still keeps it real! Absolutely love these books. Can't believe I've finished them. . . . lets hope the author decides to bring out a sequel. Would recommend to anyone, young, or older generation. The movie however does not do the book justice. ... ezisace2002 01.07.2009 · Read Full Review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Twilight - Stephenie Meyer	Would you read it again?

The incredible power of story telling Advantages: interesting ideas; imaginative tale Disadvantages: not as stunning on re-reading ...as the monotony of Pi's life is emphasized, but on the first read I raced through this section, eager to discover what would happen next. Increasingly improbable events do occur, which eventually lead you to question Pi's truthfulness, but this is part of the argument that Martel is creating, and the events are truthful in a symbolic sense. The short final section is an interview in which Pi tells his tale to an incredulous audience.
