The Boar Stone (Dalriada Trilogy 3) 8 reviews
Jules Watson
Orion (an Imprint of The Orion Publishing Group Ltd ), 2008
(4.5 stars) You may not want to read this review if you haven't read "The White Mare" and "The Dawn Stag" first
When I first began reading "The Boar Stone" back in the early summer, I honestly didn't think I would be able to finish it. I'm not sure why, because I loved the first two books so much. Maybe it was because I hadn't been reading fiction set that far back in time, maybe it was because the novel has a bit of a slow start. Or maybe it was because I had no idea why out of the three books in a ...

The Olive Season 10 reviews
Carol Drinkwater
Orion (an Imprint of The Orion Publishing Group Ltd ), 2006
Don't get ripped off
THE OLIVE SEASON and THE OLIVE FARM are excellent as is THE OLIVE HARVEST. When I recently saw A CELEBRATION OF OLIVES, I thought C. Drinkwater published a new book and ordered it. I received it today and was disappointed to find it's a double volume of THE OLIVE SEASON and THE OLIVE FARM combined, both of which I have. According to Amazon.com readers who buy A CELEBRATION OF OLIVES also buy ...

The Shadow of the Wind508 reviews
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Phoenix (an Imprint of The Orion Publishing Group Ltd ), 2005
Incredible book
I can't even begin to describe what a wonderful book this is. It is definately top 5 for me. The characters in this novel are rich in depth. Emotionally and physically I had a vivid picture in my head about each and every one of them. The pain of a father, a son, an author, a historian (book collector) as well as a lover. Twists and turns pulling you in to every page. Page after page of ...

Unadulterated Cat 18 reviews
Terry Pratchett
Orion (an Imprint of The Orion Publishing Group Ltd ), 2002
Even cat haters will probably love this book.
I'm amazed that there are any people out there who don't love this book. Pratchett, the funniest writer in English of the past century (even considering Wodehouse), takes on the orneriest species of the planet. Because it's a little coffee-table book, of course it won't have the depth and span of his best fiction, but it does have his genially iconoclastic style, and his astounding ability to ...

The Olive Harvest3 reviews
Carol Drinkwater
Orion (an Imprint of The Orion Publishing Group Ltd ), 2005
If you like books about Provence you'll like this.
I got hooked on Provence books through Peter Mayle and this tome is very similiar in style and substance. You may remember the author from her role in All Creatures Great and Small. I highly recommend.

WhereDoAllTheseIdiotsFeelTheNeedToBeTheFirstToPostAReviewWithoutKnowingAnything
I agree with Harry - I don't know why everyone feels the need to post reviews before they actually read/use the products. This definately goes to all the losers who posted reviews on the latest Harry Potter book seconds after it came out. Or spoiled it by insisting on reviewing right after they finished it. I really don't care if you lined up for a two hours at midnight and then read it cover ...

Dave Pelzer
Orion (an Imprint of The Orion Publishing Group Ltd ), 2001
Everyone Needs to Read This!
Everyone needs to read this book. Many people don't understand child abuse or how it happens, or even who it happens to. This book shows a child searching for answers to all of these questions in the heart breaking detail of his every day abusive home life. Some people think child abuse is hitting a child too much or not giving the child enough to eat at meals. The Lost Boy shows how much ...

The Books of Albion2 reviews
Pete Doherty
Orion (an Imprint of The Orion Publishing Group Ltd ), 2007
Insights and musings
This personal and engrossing journal is a collection of insights and musings from the poet/pariah Pete Doherty, lead singer of the British rock band Babyshambles (and formerly of the legendary Libertines). It provides a true devotee a view inside the mind of the troubled troubadour. At times poetic, at times rambling, the prose is like a labyrinth in which you are happy to be lost.

Why Men Lie and Women Cry3 reviews
Allan Pease, Barbara Pease
Orion (an Imprint of The Orion Publishing Group Ltd ), 2002
Repetitive but fine
I found Allan and Barbara Pease's first book, "Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps", extremely brave and funny, but this new book is really just a repetition of what was said in the first book and is also repetitive within the text. Also, I found this book to be somewhat more flat and less intelligent than the first book, but that may be because I had too big expectations. There is no ...

The Monkey's Raincoat (Elvis Cole Novels)88 reviews
Robert Crais
Orion (an Imprint of The Orion Publishing Group Ltd ), 1999
A refreshing witty private investigator and a great start to a series!
I had heard of Robert Crais for years but never read any of his work. Finally I decided to take the plunge and started with the first in the series "The Monkey's Raincoat".
After blazing through the book I began wondering to myself, why in the heck have I joined the Elvis Cole band wagon so late. The book was really good, and I absolutely love the characters Elvis Cole and Joe Pike.

Football Against the Enemy9 reviews
Simon Kuper
Orion (an Imprint of The Orion Publishing Group Ltd ), 2003
The best football book written in the past 10 years
This book is written in a style that will appeal to the lazy sunday reader in search for a funny read about football and politics, or the serious academic seeking answers to how a nation's culture manifests itself in the football style it adopts. Kuper's book is simply outstanding. In it, we find out why the Dutch hate the Germans, the secret behind the success of Dynamo Kyev, and why anyone ...

Rebus's Scotland1 review
Ian Rankin
Orion (an Imprint of The Orion Publishing Group Ltd ), 2006
Not all kilts and bagpipes...
Not your typical coffee table travel book, Rebus's Scotland shows the "other" Scotland, the one more familiar to Rankin's fans. Mysterious ancient buildings, fascinating natural wonders, it's all here for your exploration. Anyone heading to Scotland or anyone who has visited there or would like to visit there should get this book.

Three Great Novels - The Bourne Trilogy (Great Novels)3 reviews
Robert Ludlum
Orion (an Imprint of The Orion Publishing Group Ltd ), 2003
One of the greatest Trilogies in Print anywhere, anytime...
For MY money, Robert Ludlum wrote the best Spy novels in print during the Cold War. Unfortunately for him, as the Cold War thawed out, so did his genius for story-telling. You could see it coming a mile away. 'Course he is without a doubt the greatest novelist of all-time who continued to produce book-after-book AFTER his death (although I may be mistaken...). My older brother introduced me ...

A Stained White Radiance15 reviews
James Lee Burke
Phoenix (an Imprint of The Orion Publishing Group Ltd ), 2005
beautifully written
A Stained White Radiance is a beautifully written book. An absorbing suspenseful story woven into the culture of the south. Burke gives us a sheriff who is complicated, masculine and sensitive to others and his environment. I read every word, not for the storyline but for the writing itself.
