Twilight: Great for teenage girls, not great for anyone else. Advantages: Takes little effort to read, Disadvantages: Poor characterisation and plot ...age bracket it's marketed at. Twilight didn't tick any of these boxes. I'll go and see the film when it comes out, I think it'll make a better film than book. But the only people I would recommend this to would be teenage girls who enjoy romance stories. Twilight just doesn't live up to it's hype. ...

Christopher has a very strict regime, and stange habits, likes and dislikes. He loves maths, small spaces and the truth while detesting yellow, brown and being touched. Upon finding a neighbour's dog murdered in it's back yard, Christopher is determined to resolve the mystery, unaware what else he will unravel in the ... ...by the way he numbered the chapters- using only prime numbers (numbers only divisble by itself and one, eg. 2,3,5,7,11). Every second chapter digresses from the narrative, to seemingly unrelated topics such as what happens when you die (you rot) and fairies. However this digression lets the reader futher into the way Christopher's mind works, making the reader really warm to him as a person. The plot is very engaging, and I read it all in one sitting. ... alk144 11.08.2009 · 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?

I know my daughter has often had a CD of inspirational Bible Teaching on in the car when she has picked me up to go places.

The Island is not worth it's hype Advantages: Good escapism Disadvantages: hackneyed plot, not believable ...this book in desparartion at the library having run out of books to read. A friend recommended it so while it isn't normally what I would choose I thought I would give it a go. The story is that of A young woman, Alexis who seeks to discover what her mother has hidden about her family for all her life. While on holiday in Crete with her boyfriend who she is unsure about continuing the relationship with Alexis visits on old friend of her mother's ... ...to reveal, and this is the majority of the book's content.
