Reviews by Venetia

Beautifully written. And beautifully read. I highly recommend this book. Fabulous and not at all heavy going. Some really interesting takes on the events that made history. A wonderful listen. Thank you.

What a lovely book. Beautifully drawn characters. A gentle, decent story about an not so impossible dream.

This is a book that's not for me. I'm sure it's brilliant and it was recommended but it is a little "heavy" for me. I love literature but perhaps this book is better served to the male audience.

Well read and good plot. Many people love this book but, although I enjoyed it, I found it too long. I've read a lot of psychological thrillers and have read better - but I am being harsh as I have been spoilt. So I recommend this as a good book, and perhaps a very good book if you haven't much experience of this genre.

A fabulous, fantastic book. Beautifully read. Wholesome, disfunctional characters living a quirky life. Bitter sweet, tender, funny and sad. An absolute "must read". If you love literature you will love this. I envy everyone who hasn't read this book yet.

A sweet story that I did enjoy. A bit lengthy in parts but on the whole I really enjoyed this gentle book.

I really enjoyed the Killing but was a little disappointed with the sequel. I felt it was a bit bitty in parts and also that it was too long, however, the story kept me listening and I don't regret buying it. However, I won't buy the next one.

Yet again Michael Robotham weaves a plot of intrigue and power from the human heart. Jo is again in the central role and his character continues to develop with his sidekick Mr Parkinson. If you like a good psychological thriller this is one you will enjoy. Well written with a personal touch that draws you into Jo's world of work and family.

If you have an interest in human courage and the lesser known facts about Nazi Germany before the outbreak of WWII, this is one for you. Anna Funder writes beautifully and her characters are explicit and complete. This book draws you into the lives of Ruth, Toller, Dora and Hans as they attempt to fight the Nazi regime and enlighten Europe to the very real threat that is about to devour the world. An excellent book that I highly recommend.

Fun book. Beautifully read. I am now in love with the Liverpudlian accent. Thank you Leanne Best.
