A very good read!, 2010-07-27
Having been persuaded into reading this book, I didn't know quite what to expect, especially since some of the reviews I had read were less than encouraging. But I wasn't disappointed! This is a very pacy book with believable characters and a good plot. The English is a little stilted in places because this is a translation, but it doesn't detract from the storyline. If you like a mystery, if you like a page-turner and you enjoy a twist in the tale, you should enjoy this book. It's the first of a trilogy and I've bought all three. Can't wait to get time to start on book number two.

The Help, 2010-07-27
I loved this book. I am a bookaholic and read all the time and don't watch much tv. This book took me into my own world. I thought I was in Mississipi in the early 60's and I could relate to all the characters. It is such an important book for everyone to read because it teaches us about prejudice and how unfairly people were treated simply because of the colour of their skin. It was a well written book and was funny and sad at the same time. Highly recommended.

Some books are really as good as people say they are!, 2010-07-16
My friend had been obsessed by this series of books for about a year before I even started reading them, which I did out of curiosity to see what she was on about. When I read the first few chapters, I wasn't keen on the writing style, because it seemed a bit immature. Then, as I got deeper into the book, I realised what a brilliantly written book it actually is - it reads exactly like it's being narrated by a teenager, but with an adult perspective that makes it very sophisticated. I was even more certain of this after reading the second book, because Meyer exactly captures and records what I remember it being like being a hormonal teenager dealing with the gut-wrenching pain of being in love, but viewed from the experience of being an adult. I was seriously impressed by the first three books, totally absorbed and reading them late into the night, and eagerly awaiting the arrival of the last book from the library or in paperback from Amazon, whichever gets here first!

Mandelson avoids the unsavoury episodes of New Labour, 2010-07-22
Peter Mandelson has written a political tome with no more back biting then any other book written by a politician.
Although I'm a staunch conservative I have a real admiration for Peter Mandelson Prince of Darkness - the man who always returns to power.
I suspect that Mandelson believes he has a significant role to play in rebuilding the fortunes of Labour - hence his carefully veiled discretion and glossing over of scandal and corruption within the party.
I would rank Mandelson as more trustworthy then Tony Blair and too clever to become Labour leader himself.
This book is interesting - showing the reader subtle devious manouvering for power but political scandal ! forget it.
The author is probably planning his intimate diary which is when the skeletons will emerge from the cabinet.

Touching, 2010-07-27
I don't know if I'll read another book like this. I don't normally write reviews, but I felt I had to write and recommend this book to all who are considering reading it. I finished it yesterday and am still thinking about the story and the characters today, as well as that one page which shocks everyone who reads it. It is only the second book I have cried in, but my envolvement with the characters, their lives and the eventual outcome of their lives was so strong I couldn't help but feel emotional. Read it - it's just brilliant.

A truly stunning trilogy, 2010-07-27
Millenium I was fantastic, II was even better and III simply stunning. All are great page turners and way ahead of any other crime thriller I have ever read. My next read by a well known American author is leaving me feeling completely flat after the sheer pace and imagination of Stieg Larsson. Simply brilliant.

Utterly Enthralling, 2010-07-26
After a brilliant first book The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo you worry about the second offering from the author. Will it be as good , will I be disappointed? This is not the case at all the second book in the Millenium series is even better than the first. The book is enthralling and fast pacing unlike the first book there is action from start to finish. This book also develops the intriguing character of Lisbeth Salander and looks at her background. As the story develops the affection you had for Lisbeth in the first book grows.

I believe that I enjoy this writer so much because of the mature writing, this is unlike other novels that clearly have been written as a scene play this has beautiful description that developes the surroundings and the characters fully.

You can easily read this book without the first however, I defy anyone to read the second book and not immediatly want to read the third. A truly wonderful book.

Exciting read, though a disappointing ending o_0, 2010-07-28
It seems a lot of critics dislike Brown's writing, I however like the mix of story with history lesson. If only History class was this exciting!

I feel this book is still a cut above the rest, but the revelation in this book falls a little flat for me. Perhaps one should read this first and Langdon's other exploits after? I also feel Brown's use of the same formula is feeling tired. Peter Solomon serves the same purpose as Sauniere, side-kick Katherine for Sophie for Vittoria, Mal'ach feels a lot like Silas or that misc assassin... of course there's still other forms of variety, Mason treasure is not the Holy Grail etc, but it's all a little too familiar now we are here third time around.

Still a great read, and I'll do so more than once. I can't wait for the next one though... ^_'

Read book twice and found it was well put together and looking forward to seeing the DVD version. It is best to read the book before the DVD as you can judge what has been edited.

Loved it!, 2010-07-19
I have just finished reading this book and have really enjoyed it - it's one of those books that I didn't want to put down. Others have outlined the plot but all I would like to say is that if you are a fan of Rosamunde Pilcher you will really enjoy this book. I guessed what the secret might be but not the eventual outcome - very clever. I would certainly recommend this to all my friends.
