12.Sleeping ArrangementsSleeping Arrangements
from Thomas Dunne Books
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:
Having read most of Sophie Kinsella's novels, I was eager to dive into her work under her real name, Madeleine Wickham. What I have found is that the Kinsella works are more like adult fairy tales, where everything works out with a happy ending. In her Wickham works, the endings are more true to... more info

13.The Uncommon Reader: A NovellaThe Uncommon Reader: A Novella
from Picador
Price: $9.41

Customer Review:
The Common Reader is a compact, beautifully witten account of British social class, royal life, and love of literature. Coming from the writer of The History Boys it was a marvellous surprise. Although the topic is probably the same, the tone and characters are unique.

15.Anansi BoysAnansi Boys
from HarperTorch
Price: $7.99

Customer Review:
What can I say about Neil Gaiman's "Anansi Boys"!?! It's definitely Gaiman's deliberate and very successful attempt to bring comedy to his storytelling gift of rustling up the reader's imagination. Before everything, I have to say the part that made me laugh out loud was the part deep in the story... more info

17.The GatecrasherThe Gatecrasher
from St. Martin's Griffin
Price: $5.58

Customer Review:
I normally love Sophie Kinsella's books but this book was very disappointing. I thought the characters were not very interesting or very well developed. The ending was extremely bad with everything sewn up nicely but not very satisfying.

20.MIDNIGHT S CHILDRENMIDNIGHT'S CHILDREN
from Knopf

Customer Review:
This book took me a while to read. It is very wordy and a bit of a challenge, but if you are up for a challenge this book is definitely worth reading. The story is so different from anything I had ever read before, and it gives such a detailed depiction of India and her history.
