Well as i said, i've never actually read a book before so i don't have a perfered taste with books but i'd like something like crime, like a murder or something, like the TV shows but in a book if you get me; crime, mystery etc. Something to make me want to keep reading. Oh and true stories are always the best apparently.

Blinded By The Light - Sherry Ashworth

It's quite a light read (for your first book ). And I was a judge in the North-East Book Awards and she was a candidate and I met her etc, she was very nice and she won the award. So it's a very good book.

Now get reading, boy!

Oh my god. I just read this post and I have THE best book for you if you're serious about wanting crime.

It's a true story, like a memoir about this college student who started a Psychology paper on serial killers and he began to write to them while they were on death row, and he masked himself as their perfect victim and stuff. And they all wrote back to him, and he developed a friendship with them all and one imparticular; John Wayne Gacy. And he met him in jail and scary things happened and stuff. It's interesting, scary and if you're a bit intefrested in Psychology it's good aswell cos it lets you have an insight into a serial killers mind (fun fun!)

The Last Victim - Jason Moss

People who loved the curious incident of the dog in the night time!!

If you loved that the author has got a new book out called "A spot of bother" it is very good but more for alduts but who cares.

George Hall doesn't understand the modern obsession with talking about everything. 'The secret of contentment, George felt, lay in ignoring many things completely.' Some things in life, however, cannot be ignored. At fifty-seven, George is settling down to a comfortable retirement, building a shed in his garden, reading historical novels, listening to a bit of light jazz. Then Katie, his tempestuous daughter, announces that she is getting remarried, to Ray. Her family is not pleased - as her brother Jamie observes, Ray has 'strangler's hands'. Katie can't decide if she loves Ray, or loves the wonderful way he has with her son Jacob, and her mother Jean is a bit put out by all the planning and arguing the wedding has occasioned, which get in the way of her quite fulfilling late-life affair with one of her husband's former colleagues. And the tidy and pleasant life Jamie has created crumbles when he fails to invite his lover, Tony, to the dreaded nuptials. Unnoticed in the uproar, George discovers a sinister lesion on his hip, and quietly begins to lose his mind.The way these damaged people fall apart - and come together - as a family is the true subject of Mark Haddon's disturbing yet very funny portrait of a dignified man trying to go insane politely.




I just read it and i loved it

Lots of great crime fiction out there Legend.Just go to your local book store and browse through crime.Charity shops are a great way of buying cheap books btw.That way if you don't like them you have'nt spent a lot and you can take them back to the shop and they can sell them again.
