Thanks, I will add it to my evergrowing list of books to read!:)

Totally agree. Loved Dead Sleep, but didn't really enjoy Sleep No More. haven't read any of his others though.

Thanks for that. Isn't it annoying when you try and remember about a book you read so long ago, and they start to get confused with other books you read around the same time!! Perhaps that is just me!;) Thanks for putting me out of my misery!!

I am trying to think of the name of a book i read a few years ago. I always thought it was The Fog by James Herbert, but i now don't think it was. It was about a crack in the ground that appeared swallowing half a street up. From this large crack in the ground a kind of mist or fog appeared...

I am reading Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, by Susanna Clarke. A bit slow starting, but i am only about 170 pages in. I have seen on another thread, that was to be expected, so i will persevere.

I have only read the first of these books so far, and must admit i didn't enjoy it as much as i had expected too. I found the authors explanation of words to be extremely annoying. I understand he is aiming at a young audience, but even so, if he felt kids would not understand the words he...

I really do need something light after LOTR ( on third book now). My hubby found it very difficult to enjoy a book, ofr ages after finishing the trilogy, he enjoyed them so much!! I will give them a bash!! It's good to see there is only one person (so far) who didn't enjoy them!!

I read a few of his books a while back, but only 1 stands out in my mind. It is about something happening to a woman in a university campus under a tunnel. I think this was the same book, where the main character takes to wandering the streets at night, and starts following a young girl, who...

I read this book a while ago, and thought it was really good. I loved the whole way it was told from the main character sitting in heaven watching her family and friends come to terms with her death. I also read Lucky, which, again was a great book too. It took a lot of guts for Alice Sebold...

We bought the reading and writing one for our daughter for her 4th birthday!! She loves them!! She has about 7 books now, relatives bought her some for her birthday too!! I love them! There is even one with flags and a map of the world where you need to match the flag to the correct...

Sound like just the thing for me!! :) I haven't watched any of the films for LOTR yet, on purpose, because i really wanted to read the books. Will get to watch the movies now too. I didn't think much of the film version of Unfortunate Series, It was alright, but i did expect better!! Hope...

I have just bought the first 3 books in one!! (£7.00 in Asda). I haven't started them as yet, because i am still finishing The Lord of the Rings at the moment. Mainly i bought it because i fancy something light, and amusing after reading LOTR!! How old is your daughter Irene? My eldest...

My youngest daughter is just coming up for 2, so she is onyl just starting to listen to very short stories. My eldest daughter is 4 and loves books She has just started reading Dr Suess. Her faves are The Gruffalo and The Gruffalos Child. also a great book called Bearum Scarum. I have...

I have only read the first book, and never got round to the sequels. I did try to start the second one, but i felt i needed a break from it to get into it properly. I also hated the film!! How it was known by the same name as the book i will never know, as most of the story was missing...

Thanks for all the replies! I will do as you say. I wouldn't want to read the first 2 and be put off the rest!! Thanks again

Can anyone tell me the correct order of these books. I have been reading a bit about this series but don't know which order they hould be in. Do they come recommended too? Thanks :)

I read this series a while back, and was amazed to find this was aimed at children. I found the whole story to be very complex and not sure i would have understood it completely at the age of 12. I thoroughly enjoyed them though, and would recommend them to all adults!

I think she will continue writing. She has said there may be a kind of spin off harry POtter, bacuase she has a lot of background information on the characters that was never slotted into the books, so perhaps a kind of harry Potter encyclopedia!! I think she is quite keen to try her haned at...

Got mine at 8am this morning, but still had the last chapter of OOTP to finish first (which i have now). Will start mine after lunch!! This is very exciting!! :D
