The stupidest angel - Chrostopher Moore

Enjoyed this one, more so than "A Dirty Job". Nice mix of characters made me laugh quite a few times. Hard to put down once you start. On to the next one of Mr Moores books....

A Dirty Job - Christopher Moore

Was looking for something different and looks like I found it. A bit like Terry Pratchet for grown ups. Some stronger language. Some great one liners and a story that held my attention from the start. Enjoyed it that much I brought "The Stupidest Angle" for my wife for Christmas, might have to go and borrow it.........

1st to Die - James Patterson

Another Patterson, woman's murder club, like Patterson, easy to pick up, not too taxing and easy to put down. Might push through the next one to see how it develops

Flashforward - Robert J. Sawyer

First eBook i brought and read on my sony eReader touch. Enjoyed the book interesting contrast to the TV show, glad i read it before the TV show got too far so i can see how it goes with the concepts of the book. Back to the book in hand, nice story some fun bits, review of 2030 was fun, the end of Microsoft! Was quite a dull technical chapter near the end which kind of spoilt the flow a little. Bit of a "way out there" end but then again its Sci-Fi after all. May look up some of Mr Sawyers other titles now.

Watchmen - Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons

Being a comic fan from a young age enjoyed reading this one....very dark in places but entertaining

Deadline - Simon Kernick

Free book with pre order of Dan Brown, not expected much but it wasn't a bad read and not a bad move by the publisher as it gives another author to my fun read list with a big back catalogue

Hold Tight - Harlan Coben

Nice holiday read, quite like his style, easy reading with a few twists
