Here are some massive books ive had the pleasure of page turning this year... still no kindle so my shelves are busting (hint hint).
A Delicate Truth by John le Carré
This month you can get another fix of John le Carré with A Delicate Truth. A foreign-office minister's private secretary, counterterrorism and a disgraced special forces soldier - any more details would ruin the page turning.
The Wall by William Sutcliffe
Narrated by a 13-year-old child, The Wall is published as a book for adults and the young-adult/teen market, and bears comparison with classics written about other conflicts, where a child's perspective is sometimes the most profound.
Last Night at the Viper Room by Gavin Edwards
Its a biography of River Phoenix. Him off of Stand by Me and he was Indiana Jones briefly in a flashback. Brad Pitt said he was the best ctor ever. The book traces his roots back to the religious cult he was born into through his brief adventure in Hollywood and eventually the accidental overdose that tragically brought his brief life to a premature end. If youve ever read autobios from the likes of Slash and Jagger and thought those boys were rock and roll this quiet teenager makes them look like clergymen.
The Broken Man by Josephine Cox
Story of Adam, a twelve year old loner, whose abusive parents and bulling in school define the course of his life. His only friend is the school bus driver, Phil, who one day makes the decision to accompany him home, a decision that changes his life forever... Coxs' writing is so good it makes you sympathise with every character at some point and this one is the very definition of a page turner, could not put it down...
Thatll keep your eyes droopy for a few weeks wont it?
PS
Best tunes of the summer...
