Imagination/This Kind Of Lovin' - Whispers (The)

Advantages: Great story, great characters
Disadvantages: One character disappointed me

...better when a book is written in first person because you get to know the main character better but also there is sometimes a bias (the first person's opinion) on the book. I think under the circumstances of the title it was a perfect choice to write in first person as Chinese Whispers can get out of hand and this was demonstrated through Fiona's story. Fiona is nearly 30 years old and is not particularly happy with her life, especially since Ellie moved out and she no longer likes her job as a gossip columnist. Also, she is overweight and feels second best all the time. I enjoyed reading about her life throughout the book and I was happy with the ending. Bunny Bunny is quiet and shy when she first arrives in Dublin looking for somewhere to live, as she is on the run from her abusive ex-boyfriend. She is delighted to move... Read review

Advantages: Truely brilliant,
Disadvantages: none

...dont cross over but she cant force them too. Some spirits do look intimidating at the first glance of them. Melinda has a Professor as a friend who helps her decipher messages or signs left by the dead. The Professor knows about Melinda's gift and helps out as much as he can. Melinda's gift is a wonderful thing to have in the series as she can see and understand the spirits and help them in everyway she can to get them to cross over and be at peace with themselves and the loved ones they left behind.

Disadvantages: It comes to and end

...The Horse Whisperer I read this book when it first came out and it thoroughly enjoyed it, despite it making me cry quite a lot! It tells the story of a 13 year old girl who, whilst out riding her beloved horse Pilgrim, is hit by a 40 ton truck. Grace and Pilgrim survive but sadly her friend dies along with her horse (I did say it was sad). Grace loses a leg at the knee and becomes extremely withdrawn. Pilgrim is treated for his injuries but is so traumatised by the whole accident that he won't let anyone near him and turns very aggressive. Grace's mother, Annie, is a business woman and feels that if she listens to the vets pleas to put Pilgrim out of his misery (because he feels him to be a danger) then it will be too much for Grace to cope with, it just not an option. Annie tracks down a horse whisperer, Tom Booker, to seek his... Read review
