Twilight, by Stephanie Meyer
'Bella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Bella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Bella, the person Edward holds most dear.
Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite'
Absolutely fantastic book! First in the The Twilight Saga series, it is an absoutely fantastic read that you just can't put down. I laughed, I cried, I tingled, I even fell in love with Edward myself (and I'm a lesbian!)- the writing is just wonderful and completely sucks you in to Bella's world. Would recommend this book to anyone, but especially supernatural, sci-fi and romance lovers. Read it before the film comes out in December!
Ice Station by Matthew Reilly
FAST PACED ACTION THRILLER -
If you are looking for a man (beats chest, eats meat) kinda book then please invest or borrow a Matthew Reilly from your local bookshop/library. They are absolutely brilliant.
You sit down to read and get drawn in real quick, total page turners, and then two days later (when you've emerged at the end of the book) you will be raving to all your mates about how mad this is.
The first book we stumbled upon was Ice Station - I somehow thought it was about aliens, but it was sooo much better than that.
The plot in a nutshell - Mcmurdo Ice station - something is found deep under the snow thought to be Alien or other. A US special forces team is sent in to claim it for America, they are soon joined by British, French and another American team, each wanting to claim it for themselves.
Lo and behold, hovercrafts raising over the ice, gun fights, killer whales, blood, action, gun fights, pretty much to the death...
I can't even begin to make this book sound as good as it truly is. Please, give it a try and I promise you will NOT be disappointed.
Devil May Care by Sebasttian Faulks
This is the much hyped new James Bond adventure as authorised by Ian Fleming Publications. Written by Sebastian Faulks who is perhaps better known for more weighty writings it was interesting to see what he made of a character born from the mind of a hack writer like Fleming. Not that there is anything wrong with hack writers in my opinion, they provide what the public wants and we love them for it.
Faulks gets of to a good start the action takes place in the 1960s, around the time that Fleming's early death put an end to the Bond stories and Faulks evokes a good sense of the period. Now onto the villain, typical Bond villain a ruthless genius with a physical deformity just like Dr No or Scaramanga, a dangerous oriental sidekick who feels no pain, and a plot to flood the world with heroin and cause the cold war to heat up with a plan to crash a stolen BOAC airliner into a Russian nuclear facility. As to exotic locations much of the action takes place in Tehran, the Caspian coast of Iran and in Russia.
There is an Iranian section head of "Universal Exports" much like Kerim of From Russia with Love and the welcome return of Bond's CIA pal Felix Leiter, plus some exciting 1960s technology in the shape of an Ekranoplane and RAF Vulcan bombers for the gadget hungry.
Faulks ticks many of the required boxes for the bond spy thriller, its a good read with plenty of action and a bit of racy sex, even if its a bit Bond by numbers. If you take this novel as its intended, as a homage to Ian Fleming, the only thing that lets it down is the predictability of the twist in the end with the female character.
