Whip It
Originally known as Roller Girl, this is the book that the recent Drew Barrymore directed, Ellen Page starring, film is based on.
The book is a lot of fun, but really quite slight.
The film manages to improve on quite a lot of the book, especially the ending, which is rather trite in the book
Tickling The English
A look at the English from the perspective of the famous Irish comedian as he tours the country.
A decent book, with more to it than you'd expect.
Generation A
Set in a world transformed by the disappearance of bees and a new drug called Solon.
The book follows a group of people who are mysteriously stung by bees.
Bloodsucking Fiends
Enjoyable, San Francisco set, romantic comedy. The twist being that the female lead is a newly fledged vampire.
Giraffe
The story of a group of giraffes that end up in Prague zoo in the mid 70's as told through the eyes of various individuals who interact with the animals during the journey to Prague and when they are settled at the zoo.
Beautifully written, it's episodic, rambling nature robs the book of narrative momentum.
The novel feels like it's going nowhere until the last 90 pages when the story comes together to a point in magnificent fashion.
Points are taken off for making me fall asleep reading it...
Never Have Your Dog Stuffed
Short, enjoyable but incomplete feeling autobiography from the well loved star of the MASH tv series
