I've got the Lovely Bones ready in a cupboard to take with me on holiday.
Anyone read A Suitable Boy - Vikram Seth - really long, and din't think I'd like it, but was hooked. Had too much wine to remember other books at the moment!!
The Boy In Striped Pyjamas was

I started that several years ago ......got about a third if the way through and then lost interest. I like books on India ...........one of my faves is 'The God of Small Things' brilliant book.

If you're looking for a real thick, chunky book for your hols - I suggest 'Pillars of the Earth - Ken Follet ' that's a real good holiday read IMO.

I've made a note of it,Sooz and will look for it in the future - probably got enough for my holiday this year but when I return....

Try 'Blood Brother' by J.A Kerley, it will eff you up!!

The tagline for it is: Meet Jeremy, People call him a psychopath, I call him family.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh I know it's not the same but - I went to see Willy russells 'Blood Brothers' in January starring Mel c from the Spice Girls......................................absoloutely bloody brilliant. Anyone else seen it?

Me Soozy but not with Mel C. I saw it with Barbara Dickson...she was the first to play the part. I`ve never been a great fan of hers but I thought she was excellant in that role. 
Glad you enjoyed it..it`s a brilliant play. I love Willy Russel`s work.

i love richard laymon   sooooooooooo many to mention but all his books are compulsive reading (IMO)   graham masterton  is another of my favourites    i do love a great horror story

Just to say that I read The Lovely Bones on my holiday and couldn't put it down - though I had to to go sightseeing lol!!
I found parts of it strange, but the odd thing is (which I didn't know when I bought it) is that is was taking place in the area of the US where I was holidaying!! Maybe that made it extra-absorbing for me. I found the ending a bit unsatisfactory too.

I watched the dvd a couple of weeks back, and had to watch it again the next day. I was fascinated. Also i seen the book in the shops and was thinking of getting that .

Get it Evelyn - you won't be disappointed - haven't seen the film yet though.

marvellous book - good film but really you needed to read the book to fully understand.
I loved Song of the Siren towards the end of the film though..

I'd recommend Sophie's Choice - had me in tears.   But avoid the film as it's not so good even though Meryl Streep is in it 

OMG!!!!!!! It must be well over twenty years since I read that ...............an amazing book - my best friend was coincidentally reading it at the same time (it was quite spooky that we'd often choose thesame books etc). sadly i lost my BF some years ago- I miss her in many different ways but she was my book buddy.

i loved ' the curious incident of the dog in the night' by  mark haddon.

read a few years abck, and now i think i may read it again.

Ooh Jackson - that is a book that I bought my son a few years back - will go and steal it off his shelf and give it a go!!

my favourite book is body ride  by richard laymon    failing that anything by mariann  keyes
