Robert (bobhe) | 748 comments Thought would do this just for fun and not get so obsessed like round world challenge
Start with good book from Essex


message 4: by Sue (new)

Sue | 1296 comments Don't think that will work Robert - it's just as obsessing!! I read that one for Essex - she came for the local book festival. I enjoyed the 'local' interest as well as the story.

Two books on the trot for 5 stars this challenge throwing up good books
This is a really good story which keeps you guessing right to last chapter

Robert (bobhe) | 748 comments Outlaw (The Outlaw Chronicles, #1) by Angus Donald
If you are looking for Kevin Cosner or fluffy Disney fox Robin don't go for this book!!!
Incredibly violent and graphic.
Not type of book I would normally read but well written and tied story up nicely. There is a follow on which will not be reading, not because book was poor just not my cup of tea


message 12: by Robert (new)
