I watched the first Lord of the rings first then read the book. Found I loved the book despite having seen the movie first. Read the second two books before I watched the next films and found I was slightly disappointed with the films. Same as Harry Potter, watched the first four before I...

Loved Nancy Drew and the Sweet Valley High books. Also Enid Blyton, particularly the famous five and I have a fair few of the Claude Voiler famous five books too. Roald Dahl was amazing I think Matilda has to be my fav! Also I loved and am still reading Brian Jacques' Redwall books. They...

I think The Lion The Witch and The Wadrobe would be my favourite simply because it was the first I read (and watched) and so began my love of the whole series! I think my least fav would be either the Horse and the Boy but could well be The Silver Chair. I think the Silver Chair was my least...

Not sure if its exactly what you want, but Penny Vincenzi's Spoils of Times series is very good! think the first one is called No Angels.

I often look at iwantoneofthose.com for work xmas presents. Its full of random stuff on there, I work in an office, and it does quite a good range of "fun" work stuff!

a friend of mine cant find this book, she is convinced it was called starchild and she read it about 30 years she was sure the main character came in a starship or portal to come down to the earth, and he somehow managed to get a group of people together (im not sure how and she cant remember)...

I dont count my books or anything or write the dates when I have read books, but I have a list of all the authors I like and mark off when I have read a book by them. I keep it in my bag so that when Im buying a book I know if I have already read it or not! I also have to mark down which books I...

A while back I was off sick from work and I read a Mary Higgins Clark book. I had to put it down after a while because what with being ill it was playing tricks on my mind! On Sunday just gone, I was about 60 pages from the end of Salems Lot and I really could not read any more so I had to...

I love Mary Higgins Clark! I have only read a few though, I loved Where are the Children. I read While my pretty one sleeps recently. I loved it so much I even bought the film! Its not too bad for a film from a book actually!

Have you finished this book now? I just wondered what you thought of it and whether it was worth reading it?

I saw the film before I read the book, simply because I didn't realise there was a book, but I really felt the film was much better than the book. Ive watched the second film but havent bothered with the other books.

I was at college, I heard some bloke talking about flying a plane into a building but thought he was talking about a film. When I got home in the afternoon I figured out what he was talking about because there were no TV programmes on other than the news. I can't understand the logic of the...

I had to read this for my GSCE English Lit exam too. I loved the book, and I think we watched the film too. Defo worth reading IMO.

Has anyone read this? Its written by the father of Holly Wells who was murdered along with her best friend Jessica Chapman, and it's quite interesting to see how things go for the family from their perspective. Its also incredibly sad and I cried most of the way through it. It shows how much...

This is true in some respects! Like, when your supposed to be meeting up with a friend you haven't seen for ages and they cancel at the last minute, ordinarily would annoy me, but in the middle of a good book you have to stop yourself from screaming "YESSSSS" down the phone! However, I get...
