Advantages: One of the scariest books for teens Disadvantages: Not for the easily feared
I got this book for Christmas off a friend, and I was really excited. I really want to start this review by pinpointing the picture above, I feel like I need to, as the photo above is the same book but the American cover, and considering this website happens to be in the UK, I think that they should replace the picture with the UK cover, as other people who want to review this book, might think this is the wrong novel and feel the need to request for the UK book, which happens to be the same. I feel that considering this happens to be a new story, there would be lots of people wanting to review it, and I think that Ciao should replace the photo above with a picture of the UK Cover.

Advantages: A Stunningly good author Disadvantages: None
My wife read it and said: "You should read this book (Neverland) by Simon Crump, it's got a very black sense of humour. You'll enjoy it."
So I did. It was. I did.
Neverland by Simon Crump. It's a very novel Novel. Is it a collection of interlinked short stories, as some people believe? Yes. Well, no. Not, quite. It's more a collection of interlinked ideas, instead.

(They are or rather, were friends in real life) You can imagine them being in a shopping mall. You can imagine them having an argument. But then place them and their argument (and the stunning consequences ...

Advantages: An entertaining read, Deals well with the racial issues Disadvantages: If your not a fan of Grisham you probably wont enjoy it
The next novel in my John Grisham series is one of the best books I?ve read, the chamber. He has become one of those authors that people either love or hate, personally as I?m sure you?ve been able to tell I love his work, well most of it. I can?t really say I?m a big fan of one of his latest. and although he features heavily in my current book selection, I have started to branch out a little bit.
Grisham, a former lawyer has made a very good living out of writing novels, since his debut effort a time to kill. Despite his move away from practising law he writes his books on the subject he is familiar with keeping a law theme within almost all of his works to date. His Knowledge of the criminal system obviously helps a lot in explaining exactly what he means in an easy way so that someone like me, with only basic knowledge of legal ...
