Battle royal. 5 out of 5.

I'd seen the film a while ago but read the book on a whim. its better than the film. more deaths in better detail, less confusing than the film (i found the editing in the film meant i got confused between some of the students).The weird creepy guy? done so much better in the book.

read it! it wont change your life but it dose kick ass.

When I read books, bad things happen to the people I know.

My recovering Grandad died. My Nana needed an out of the blue major op. My mate got blew off course in a jump for charity and nearly died (Landed on a factory and landed so fast that he rolled off the roof just missing some spikes but instead hitting the floor). Brother nearly died, twice. Same mate lost his voice that very hour when I walked into a Waterstones etc...

All of these happened when I started to read a new book.

Things break too (Our Car, P.C etc...) so I'm not allowed to read books anymore.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

was an alright book, but not as good as i was expecting

Kingdom Come by JG Ballard.

About consumerism in the suburbs driving people insane and leading them to embrace a fascist movement instigated by a third rate tv presenter and a burnt out ad exec searching for the truth behind his fathers murder.

Enjoyable but as usual with Ballard the descent into the muck and the mire is wearying.

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows - Needs no introduction, I presume

9.8/10 for me

[Jonno]

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows- Yes. Fun, exciting. All you need to know until you read it.

10/10

[Jupiter Adept]

Gregor and the Code of Claw.

It's the last book in the Underland Chronicles series, which you should give a chance. The first book is Gregor the Overlander- read it.

8.7/10

The Stranger by Albert Camus.

Great book, sadly a lot of people find Albert Camus' novels to be dull and boring, but his works all ways pull me in.

4 out of 5, I'd say.

Richard Pryors autobiography

10/10

This was a fantastic book written by the comedy legend himself, it told a tale of his life and i could not stop laughing from start to finish. It was even hilarious when he was talking about his fathers death, good ol richard pryor.

My latest academic reading adventure was Paul Gilroy's The Black Atlantic. An interesting reevaluation of the impact of slavery on global modernism. But not light reading, that's for sure! I'm just glad to have a break from reading this stuff for a couple of days.
