Spider Bones by Kathy Reichs

I read this August 2012
Why: because I saw it at a charity event and thought it would be a good bedtime read.  Also I really like the television series Bones...great slick American junk TV...
The plot: Quite a complicated who's body is this plot. A body turns up drowned  and fingerprints reveal it is a man who was declared dead in the Vietnam war.
The scenes move across America and land up in Hawaii, the plot invoves Brennan and her family as well as colleagues, gang members etc...
I thought it would be a good bedtime read and it was...light and entertaining as well as a dead body or two or three...

5/10

Started Early, Took My Dog by Kate Atkinson

I read this: August 2012
Why: It had been proposed a few times at my book club and nearly made it to being chosen, but not quite.  I found my copy in a charity shop and thought I would buy it.
Plot: Turned out to be a detective story(ex policeman)  - which I wasn't really expecting, but did really enjoy.
The plot has lots of interconnecting characters and leads off in all sorts of directions, which makes it every interesting & enjoyable to read.
A good book for bedtime reading...
7/10
Have you read this or any of her others?

White Fang by Jack London

I read this August 2012
Why: because I had read and enjoyed Call of the Wild and it was a free download on my smartphone...
This again is written from the point of view of the wolf/part dog.  I enjoyed the realism and the way the author takes us into the mind of a feral animal.
Thoroughly enjoyable
9/10
