Synopsis -

A funny if somewhat unbelievable romp. Girls decide to rob a bank with no real plan or idea on how. It has funny moments and clever little bits. The characters are hard to like, but it can be fun to dislike them. They seem more real for their flaws. This is a simple escape from reality book, read it to while away a few hours and get a few giggles. 

An interesting first book, it leaves many things unsaid. There is so much being set up in this book that the rest will have to be brilliant. The book follows ten angels and their relationships and fights. It has quite a lot of set up of each character, introducing them and giving the reader a full picture of each one. The start is an uphill struggle but now that it has gathered momentum, it can do nothing but gather speed. Keep reading! 

The book of the life of a child who has parents who are abusive and cruel. The journey that takes them to better things and a better place. This book is moving and heartfelt. An honest novel about finding your true self and your voice. Especially when those people that you expect to love and support you are not able to do that and treat you badly. This would be a great help for anyone struggling with finding their identity and thinking they are alone in this big, wide world. You are not alone, there are people that can help. Find them and find your salvation. 

A funny and clever story. Written in a deliciously rich and yet familiar tone. The narrative follows Darren a young man who wants to escape. He takes a teaching job in Korea and finds that life isn't any easier over the other side of the world. Disaster seems to follow him and the reader is caught up in each misstep, hoping for better things to come. This is such a delightful read, and for a first novel, it shows a talent that is blossoming into something rare and amazing.

Funny in a tragic way. This is a look at life as it is for many young people today. The titular main character is lost, he feel abandoned and his life is going no where. Then fate steps in and he has a chance at redemption, a chance to become something. His journey is not all a bed of roses but it will make readers want to know more, to keep reading and to cheer on this young lad who finds hope in places that seem to only offer despair.  

This is a short novel about the postage system but don't be worried by that fact, it is a funny one. The characters, and their attitudes, are very familiar to anyone who has ever worked in an office, large chain or warehouse. This is a clever look at how being ground down by authority and rules can make a man rebel. Well written, with a clear and clean style. It gets to the point and does it well. There are a few references to New Zealand that might take a moment to grasp for those that have never lived there, but all in all it embraces the reader with its charm and clever style.

A book that will leave you with tears in your eyes. The characters develop like a well aged wine. You savour each page and devour each line. This is a small well written book, heart breaking in its clever narrative and intricate details. A powerful read that will stay with you and make you wish you could keep reading well past the last page. 

An anthology of stories that showcase life and people's illogical but insidiously bad behaviour and have an other worldly feel about them. The genres are hard to pinpoint but there are elements of mystery, romance and horror present. This is a collection that takes the reader on a journey of discovery, but they better buckle up as it is a bumpy ride. Each tale will incite emotion and whisk the reader off into another strange and wonderful narrative. Beware, you may come back changed, if you come back at all. 

A collection of stories with an interesting theme. The 16 stories cover a lot of the thoughts behind why people see ghosts. This is not just about ghosts but also about grief, longing and guilt. Some stories will break your heart and others had an almost fun feel, mixed in with a healthy dose of the downright weird. As a set of stories it works well and it would be great to recommend this to any reader looking for a ghost story that isn't just scary but thoughtful and more about emotion than horror.

Penfold Towers is an anthology of stories about a tower block in London. The idea is that each story is set on one day and all the stories are about characters that live in the many apartments housed within the high rise building. The tales are all very different, some are about class issues, dating, affairs or politics, some are horror, and some are sweet and funny. Each story is an enjoyable read, and each one is individual, but they all follow the basic theme and it gives the reader a continuity that is satisfying. Well worth a look. 

Sometimes you can't beat a quick, snappy read. So what better than a book of six short unconventional love stories. Watch out because those endings will leave you thinking. These are beautifully crafted snippets of life and strange love. Readers will thoroughly enjoy the authors unique brand of storytelling. This is Love—but not as we know it.
