A Child Called 'IT' - Dave Pelzer * * * *

Supposedly one of the best-selling 'misery memoirs' of it's time, this book shocks, grips and pains with its true account of the little boy who was beaten, abused and mentally tortured by his monster of a mother who refused to call him anything other than 'IT.' At times this book was so painful to read that I had to put it down and go back to it a few days later.

Gentlemen and Players - Joanne Harris * * * * 1/2

A brilliantly crafted and suspenseful book filled with all the things that make me want to read it. Joanne Harris writes brilliantly and I am very keen to read many more of her novels. She has a knack of making any topic exciting and the twist at the end of this book really knocked me back.
Divine.
