I chose this book because it sounded good - like a romance. It's about Mark and Peter. They are going to London to see a show. First they go to the pub, then the show. Peter saw a girl he could not get out of his mind. He had it bad and wanted to get to know her.
It is a good read and I couldn't put it down. I enjoyed it very much. I would rate it 10 out of 10.

Abigail's Party by Mike Leigh
This play is a comedy of manners - a social satire.
Beverly is the main character She thinks she is upper class, and adds a lot of pressure to her husband. She is a snob. She invites her neighbours to her house to show off.
For me, the play was boring in the beginning, but it grew more and more exciting, humorous and interesting. I found myself laughing, and I was amazed at the ending.
Recommendation: *****

The Dare by John Boyne
Published by Quick Reads Transworld
This is a heart warming story. The main characters are Danny Delaney and Rachel Delaney (Danny’s Mother).
When Danny’s mother is escorted home one night by two police officers, his life is turned upside down.
This is an easy read, with a believable, engaging storyline.
I would give this book a 4 star rating, as it is a moving story, sad at times and engaging.

The Perfect Murder by Peter James
The Perfect Murder was the first book that I have ever read from start to finish in my life. I found it a very good read, “in deed”. I do find it very hard to get in the mood to just read anything at all “but” I only read a page or so a day, and I don’t get so bored with it.
Two of the main characters are Mr and Mrs Smiley, who are trying to kill each other. It has some very near-to-the-bone words and has some true to life comments. If you read this book, have an open mind.
I would recommend this book.

The Perfect Murder by Peter James
Published by Quick Reads.
The Perfect Murder is an amusing murder story. The main characters are Victor Smiley, and his wife, Joan, who have been married for nearly twenty years.
Joan has tried to change her appearance by using Victor’s credit cards, making her more attractive for Victor but doesn’t seem to get any attention. Soon he realises that the only way he can achieve his dream of setting up home with Kamila is to get Joan out of the picture. But unknown to Victor, Joan has also got something up her sleeve too.
I enjoyed this book as it has a twist to it and I didn’t expect what the ending turned out to be. It wasn’t too long to read and it was easy to read.
I would really recommend this comical and tongue-in-cheek book.
