Game of thrones tv show is based on the books, they're quite long though! and Kinsella is like easy chick lit books

Probably the best writer I have discovered recently is Iain Rob Wright. His writing style is very free flowing and exciting. I read his book ravage in 3 days, which is very unusual for me, normally takes me weeks to finish a book.
It's about a zombie apocalypse, if you like The Walking Dead you'll love it. I'm reading The Final Winter at the moment, which again is about the apocalypse where it starts snowing heavily everywhere in the world, and it focuses on groups of people in a town in England. If you like horror, you won't go far wrong giving this guys stuff a chance. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Iain-Rob-Wri...4732297&sr=8-1

Thanks, Verbal! I've never read a horror book. Sounds exciting!
