This much-hyped piece of pulp 'faction' is a passable whodunit page-turner about the 'real' meanings of the Holy Grail. Dan Brown's descriptions of the locations bring this book to life but, when it comes to it, Robert Ludlum did conspiracy theory laden fiction so much better! Read and forget! (49 words)

by Jilly Cooper was written in 1988 and is very much a novel of its time but is no worse for that. Set in the world of independent television, the slightly characters are well developed, if a little OTT, and the story moves along nicely. Thoroughly enjoyable escapism. (48 words)

by Marian Keyes. Another great read from this ever popular Irish writer. Written from the perspectives of several of the leading characters, at first this novel seems to jump around alot but becomes more satisfying as the tales converge. So much better than the average chick lit tale. (48 words)

by Veronica Henry. This novel is one of those guilty pleaures which has no great literary merit but at the same time is thoroughly enjoyable. Its well developed story lines follow a variety of characters through trials and tribulations including infidelity and house moving! Pretty good. (46 words)

by Karen Joy Fowler. The group of individuals who meet to discuss Jane Austen novels each have complex problems of their own but find solace in each others company and in the joy of each of the novels. It has made me want to re-read Austen too. Thoroughly enjoyable. (49 words)

by Dominic Holland. This novel, which looks at the trials of getting a movie script to Hollywood, is more fantastical than fantastic. The coincidences and near misses between characters are more annoying than Clockwise and Planes Trains and Automobiles put together. Only slightly redeemed by the neat ending. (48 words)

By Celia Ahern this book follows a womans life after her loosing her husband, although a good idea I wouldn't advise anyone who has been through this to read it. It's unrealistic and like any book has the "Typical" happy ending it shouldnt end this way not a brilliant book. (50 words)
