Hosseini, Khaled - The Kite RunnerHosseini, Khaled - The Kite Runner
WHEN a book is made into a film, it’s tempting to save the hours that could be spent reading and head straight to the cinema.

Frayn, Michael - SpiesFrayn, Michael - Spies
SPIES is an A-level set text, and thus a book I have had to read a number of times. And the more you read this book, the more you resent the fact that Michael Frayn’s publishers ever asked him to write it.

DeLillo, Don - Falling ManDeLillo, Don - Falling Man
SINCE his monumental Underworld, Don DeLillo has understandably been producing shorter works; if that was a magisterial secret history of America in the 20th century, this could be taken as the coda required since September 11, 2001.

Coben, Harlan - The WoodsCoben, Harlan - The Woods
WHEN it comes to writing crime thrillers, Harlan Coben has no equal among modern day writers.

Godwin, Peter - When A Crocodile Eats The SunGodwin, Peter - When A Crocodile Eats The Sun
FROM the brilliant Zimbabwe-born author and journalist Peter Godwin, When A Crocodile Eats The Sun is the hotly anticipated follow-up to Mukiwa: A White Boy In Africa, and it certainly doesn't disappoint.

Clark, Dr David Findlay - Stand By Your Beds! Clark, Dr David Findlay - Stand By Your Beds!
"WHERE are you from?" is a standard remark to make on chance acquaintance and over the years when I have replied "Padgate" to anyone now aged 65-plus, I have so often been regarded rather like someone who had uttered the word "Transylvania".

Talbot, Bryan - Alice in Sunderland: An EntertainmentTalbot, Bryan - Alice in Sunderland: An Entertainment
FOR all the timelessness of Lewis Carroll's great creations, he and Alice still tend to be associated with a particular place and time - a sunny afternoon on the river near Oxford.
