That was a really good book. I cried my eyes out most of the way through it.
Have you read the one about Holly Wells?

It was interesting to read about a dad's perspective, not a lot of men are good with putting their feelings down in a book. Also, when a child goes missing, everyone seems to be more sympathetic towards the mothers, they seem to forget that the dads are suffering as well. Does that make sense?

yeah i know exactly what you mean it seems some people forget that the father has the exact same feelings as the mother.

Another good book I read recently was My Sisters Keeper, Jodie Picoult. About a girl that was born to be used as a bone marrow match for her sister that had Leukemia. Not a true story though, but very good.

Fred Dibnah's "Age of steam"...only just started it but his biography was a good read. One I've just finished was "Spitfire Ace", about the Battle of Britain.

I prefer non-fiction to stories but I do read the odd classic novel.

Unusually for me I've been reading novels recently. I usually prefer biographies or realistic things. My husband reads a lot of 'who dunnits' or 'what did they do and how did they do its' and has recommended The Coffin Dancer but I've only read the opening chapter so far. It had a little twist to it which I wasn't expecting and he says it does that a lot.

I can't remember the name of the last one I read (my memory is terrible these days) but I do remember being put off by the main character being a detective in London called Red. People in London just aren't called Red - New York or Chicago maybe, but not London.

The last book I read was Labrynth, Kate Mosse. I had read some bad reports about it, but I found it very good, and thought it was just as good as The Da Vinci code. For some strange reason I'm tending to read a lot of historical or religous books at the moment...

I have just finished reading 'Lovely Bones'......I can't think who the author was now....and I can't look because I have lent the book to a friend.
It was a really good book, and I heartily recommend it.
I'm not going to tell you what it is about because it might put you off it.
