This is no Hot Potato! Advantages: Easy to read, makes me laugh Disadvantages: Its the last one! ...I saw this sitting on the 40p shelf in a local charity shop I snatched it up! Having grown up with Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy (H2G2) in both TV and book format (missed out on the radio show) and generally being impressed with Adams in general… I mean this man worked on Dr Who, invented the best name in the universe ever for a character (Slartibartfast) and was generally a normal bloke with a wicked sense of humour…. I knew I was in for a treat. ... ...it down. This is the second (and sadly final) Dirk Gently novel, although he was working on a third before he passed away, part of which can be read in Salmon of a Doubt. Having not read the first I was a bit worried that I wouldn’t get into this as many tales seem to be lacking if you don’t have the ground work laid down in first novels, but this was not the case…. Maybe a few bits would have been hilarious rather than just funny if I had read ...

Dinosaur happy families Advantages: Entertaining Disadvantages: Can wander off a little Raptor Red is an excellent and imaginative novel that tells the colourful and exciting tale of pre-historic life through the eyes of a female 'Utahraptor'. The book was released around the time Jurassic park made Raptors into one of the most famous and feared dinosaurs. No doubt some people will have picked up a copy of the book for this reason, although I only bought it recently second hand and so can look with a little more retrospect. The novel ... ...mate and struggles to survive, dealing with hunger, flooding, hunting problems, her family unit and trying to find a new mate. The action mainly takes place from her point of view and we are treated to a wonderfully vivid and almost childlike version of the landscape.

The Time Machine - A Book to Read before you Die. Advantages: CLASSIC PAGE TURNER Disadvantages: NOTHING The Time Machine. = Author - H.G.Wells. (1866 - 1946) Dismiss the original 1960s film from your mind because there are notable differences in the book. In fact ignore completely the 2002 film which was so removed from the spirit of the book that Wells must have been turning in his grave. It begins with the nameless 'Time Traveller' conversing with his fellow academics about the theory of a 4th dimension, Time. He demonstrates ... ...He travels forward to the year 802,701 A.D. where the people are only 4ft tall. Disease has been eradicated over the millennia, the higher mammals have died out, in fact, and as man has ceased to strive so has he ceased to care. The human spirit needing to fight no more has instead become indulgent and with it his intelligence has declined. The story of the time machine is a haunted tale and you can see why the ending was changed for the silver ...
