More a 3.5 star book than a 4 star. This was a sweet summer
read, with some very adorable moments in it, though parts of the plot were
overly predictable. Still, worth a read.

Review: Sherlock Holmes Volume One by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
A wonderful collection of Holmes related adventures. As a
watcher of the BBC TV series, it was great to see the inspiration for many
episodes and was even better to read about those that haven't made it onto our
screens. This Sherlock Holmes, in my opinion, is the best one and I can't wait
to read more about him.

Review: Fire Colour One by Jenny Valentine
This novel is one of those that you just don't want to put
down. Its simplicity contrasts beautifully with the complexity of the
characters and you always come away wanting more. This is a brilliant work of
fiction, I just wish there was more of it.

Review: There Will Be Lies by Nick Lake
An odd mix of fantasy and crime. I was very intrigued with
this novel when I started reading it, but after a while it became more
confusing than entertaining. The plot was overcomplicated, though the ideas
behind it were good.

Review: Lies We Tell Ourselves by Robin Talley
An inspiring, heart-wrenching novel on a topic we have heard
about so many times, so much so that we have become desensitised to it, but in
such a different way that it manages to breathe new life into an almost dead
tale. This novel makes it worthwhile to hear about integration, despite the
horrors it makes you confront.
