Thr tuth is there is no market for these types of magazines... haven'tyou already noticed that we Brits are born with impeccable taste? ;)

there's literature/books/plays I would have found very useful and moving as a YA. Knowledge of Angels By Jill Paton Walsh The Alchemist By Paolo Coelho Macbeth Paradise Lost Women By Bukowski American Psycho - Bret Easton Ellis there are many many others, but a few I ejoyed...

Easy: Irving is a genius have no doubt: Of true value and literary genius are: Widow for a Year A Prayer for Owen Meany The Fourth Hand The Cider House Rules. Iriving is one of the US's true greats and it often surprises me how few people have read him...go buy some NOW

I've read all of the AF series so far. And, although I've enjoyed it, it's been a guilt pleasure; nothing more. I can hardly call it a seminal work - it isn't. What it does very well, is cash in on its movie/film ability. This a books made for film and nothing else. It's fun, but every scene is...

Sorry but the simple truth is that in schools, boys are rarely given anything to read that is remotely interesting or applicable to their interests today. If parents schools want their kids to read, I suggest turning off the TV and finding something that interests their kids. Nothing more or...

There's very little to be gained by reading this book. There are some interesting ideas for the unitiated regarding the possible uses and development of Nano tech. Read it, enjoy it, but don't expect it to be one of your all-time greats.

I have read this, but my god it was maybe 10-15 years ago. I don't remember it very well, though I seem to have fairly fond memories of it. I remember it being the first of a series, but was never able to locate the sequels before other things got in the way. Would be interested in maybe...

I don't want to turn this into a pi55ing contest, but to say there are next to no similarities is somewhat amusing. There are plenty of similiarities, none more so than the fact that both authors took a great of inspiration from 'paradise lost'. Although the way they go about it differs I...

Hello, I have a suggestion: 'Vellum' by Hal Duncan. There are plenty of reviews around and it's definitely worth a read. A little more complicated to follow than His Dark Materials but just as fun and certainly as brave.
