Sentimental tosh.

Pretty poor! Film is great - but couldn'r read many pages of this.

Sorry Jane Austen - I love many of your books - but not this one! I have tried several times, but can never get past the first few chapters.

Fantastic book - but so depressing! I do love reading Hardy though.

In my opinion, Jane Austen's best novel. I'd put Pride & Prejudice second.

Fantastic fantasy book. Pullman creates an amazing world that is much darker than Harry Potter and Hogwarts. I'm just amazed that children can read such a complex book! Can't wait for the film.

A great novel that raises the contemporary issue of designer babies - should siblings be genetically created to provide organs, transplants, etc for termimally-ill children? This book looks at what might happen from the viewpoint of a child created to help her sister.

Keeps you gripped right up to the end!

Innovative and brilliant. The first book I ever read (I read it for A Level English) with an author that leaves the narrative at will, to go and take a philosophical look at all kinds of themes. I haven't enjoyed Milan Kundera's other books though.

Excellent children's book - funny and poignant. The central character really starts to feel responsible for his flour baby and he learns a surprising amount about the trials of parenthood.
