A prequel for the Robert Langdon character I first met in the Da Vinci Code and really it is more of the same. Intelligently written and a wide coverage of both religion and science. Not what you would call believable but entertaining all the same. Well worth a look. (49 words)

Well written if rather controversial novel surrounding the chase for the Holy Grail which Brown asserts is not a chalice but a code for Mary Magdalene being married to Christ. Not knowing the detail of the subject means I can't comment but some of the claims seem rather unlikey. (49 words)

Although rather dated now (the original version was written in the 70s) there is still a lot of great material in here. Useful for both the programmer - to understand more about themselves and their colleagues, and managers to try and understand the people who work for them. (48 words)

This follow up to the Dark Material Trilogy by Phillip Pullman looks at what happened to lead character Lyra two years on. Nice to hear a bit more of her story but don't buy it for a long journey, it takes about half an hour to read! (47 words)

This already well-reputed book is an imaginative and moving look at the life of a teenage autistic boy who discovers a dead dog and wants to know what happened. This leads him on a trip which makes him confront new experiences and learn about himself and the world around him. (50 words)

A fantastic read about those who have asked the big question of themselves, and made a change. Po has interviewed nearly 900 people, and it’s through their experiences he conveys interesting and informative messages. A refreshing change to the intense self-help style preaching one usually expects from such a book. (50 words)
