Small Minded Small Island? Advantages: Historical details, clever method of narration Disadvantages: Poorly developed, can be patronising Andrea Levy's "Small Island" uses the recollections of four central characters against the background of the first wave of immigration from the Caribbean in the years after the Second World War to tell a story of racism, prejudice and, ultimately, hope for the future. The story weaves between the four characters with each one telling their part of the story in the first person; if that sounds like a lot of narrators, don't worry, the characters are ... ...be easily confused and each adds a new dimension to our understanding of the story. BACKGROUND Thousands of men from the Caribbean - part of the British Commonwealth - volunteered for the British Armed Forces during the Second World War; most had never been to Britain and did not have any British blood but they referred to it as "the Motherland". Most did menial, but essential jobs in the British Isles, a few of the highly-educated men became pilots. ... fizzytom 27.04.2006 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Small Island - Andrea Levy	Would you read it again?

Honour Thyself by Danielle Steel Nice story Advantages: An easy read Disadvantages: A bit bland I haven’t read a Danielle Steele book for about 10 years but I had a £5 voucher for WHS and this book was in the half price bit so I read the back and it sounded interesting so thought I’d give it a go. The Storyline The story is set around Carole Barber who is a huge film star who seems to have come to a cross roads in her life. She hasn’t made a film in three years after losing her husband and is trying to write a book but has writers ... ...for a few years to see if she can get the answers to some questions and have a break.

Hot and Steamy, put kids in bed !!! Kiss of a Demon King Advantages: Carries on the Story of the Rage Demons Disadvantages: Can't read it in company in case you flush In my opinion this is another excellent read, Follows the story of Rydstrom the Rage Demon King. It follows his capture by Sabine and Queen of Illusion, also the Sister of the bad guy who stole Rydstroms kingdom in the first place, Its all about how she tortures him, using her feminie wiles if you get my meaning, but how they discover they are 'mates'. She doesn't get away with the torture though cos Rydstrom gets free he gets his revenge when he ... karinlouise 20.10.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Kiss of a Demon King - Kresley Cole	Would you read it again?

Gripping and Emotional Advantages: Wonderfully written, gripping and full of emotion and love Disadvantages: Made me cry again! After seeing the film of this book I really wanted to read this so I could see how well the film was adapted and if it missed anything out. I was very pleased when I received this as another birthday present as I though hubby had forgotten I was after it. I cannot believe though that I knew exactly what was coming at the end of the book but it still made me cry like a baby! The book starts with us being introduced to an elderly gentleman who is ... ...We are then taken to the story which he is reading from his notebook and find out that Allie and Noah at teenagers who meets and spend the summer together and fall deeply in love with each other but soon Allie is moving away so the pair end up separating and despite Noah constantly writing to her he never gets a reply.

A Walk to Remember - Nicholas Sparks Advantages: Hard to put down, Heart-warming Disadvantages: It is not the same as the film A Walk to Remember is one of those books that can be very hard to put down, it has to be said that this is a trait for all of Nicholas Sparks books. I was initially disappointed with A Walk to Remember, having been a big fan of the film it seemed a shame that the book is quite different. However this was no longer an issue once I got in to the story. The story is heart-wrenching and very capable of producing tears from even the most cold hearted ... ...and Jamie, two teenagers from a small town. Jamie is a Baptist whose father is the local minister, she is a very understanding and forgiving person. Landon is a bit of a 'rebel' getting into lots of trouble, he and Jamie do not see eye-to-eye. Slowly throughout the story they begin to get closer beginning a heart-warming romance. This romance suffers a twist of fate that leads it in a direction that neither would have imagined and turns Landon into ... brookland56 14.10.2008 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of A Walk to Remember - Nicholas Sparks	Would you read it again?
