Vegetable Growing Month-by-month: The Down-to-earth Guide That Takes You Through the Vegetable Year

by: John Harrison

March 13, 2008
This is a brilliant and very cheap little book. It doesn't take much reading and has all the area you could require for a simple garden. The A-Z of vegetables is clear; just what is needed to go with the month by month guide. It is also helpful to deal with any problems one might come across. All together a well rounded book! Some of the diagrams would perhaps benefit from some colour though. Carla x

The Chrysalids (Penguin Modern Classics)

by: John Wyndham

February 03, 2000
We think that Wyndham's book 'The Chrysalids' was an extraordinary book with amazing descriptions. This book would be suitable for people of 11 years and upwards. Some of the ideas are quite challenging, but we read it in class, and were able to have discussions about some of these elements, for example whether the Great Horses were a deviation or not.

The book starts with David's dream of a calm sea, and a shining city with flying fish shaped machines, but this is a world that the people of Waknuk have never seen. The introduction made us think initially that the book might be a little boring, but then we met Sophie. Sophie is a normal, fun loving girl...or is she...

'The Chrysalids' is great because it doesn't give ... Read More:

Euripides: Medea (Cambridge Translations from Greek Drama)

by: Euripides

April 20, 2000
This is a very helpful commentary for anyone wanting to read Medea in the original ancient greek. The reviews above seem to refer to another book. This commentary has the greek text but no translations so the remarks about a translation are misleading.

Viriconium: "Pastel City", "Storm of Wings", "In Viriconium", "Viriconium Nights" (Fantasy Masterworks)

by: M. John Harrison

July 13, 2000
Wonderful prose, wonderful imagination, a writer who has brought fantasy and literary fiction together in one of the most powerful creations in the genre; and he's a writer who refuses to let the conventions and limitations of genre and place get the better of him. This is an essential read for anyone who demands more than a simple page turner.

Light (Gollancz S.F.)

by: M. John Harrison

September 01, 2003

The majority of the story appears complex as it unfolds, but blossoms into a beautifully written conjunction of the three main story arcs: three characters of different times and places, one the creator of the technology another relies upon, the other hopelessly intertwined with both. The inexplicable and deeply interesting events of the plot somehow follow one another into deeper madness, yet never confuse or put off the reader. The net result is an easy-to-read, intricately composed piece of literary fiction pretending to be sci-fi.

Awesome: 8.5/10
