I noticed in one of your comments somewhere you grew up in South Africa. I am looking for books about SA for my ten year old. Can you suggest any?

Noticed you liked The God of Small Things, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a grief-stricken family. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter)in case you'd like to read more about the novel before you commit:

The topic wasn't my favorite topic but I still liked it.
I'll see if they have it in my school library.
I moved to a different school so I dont know if they have it in this one
Did you read the lord of the rings???
Everybody makes such a big deal about it...
The prolouge was so boring but then it got better.
I didn't get to finish it though because the book was due and I had to return it.
I would have finished it(i read pretty fast and ALOT) but i started school and i have soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much homework and next to no time to read.
:O(

Welcome to Books Compared. While you're on the lookout for more D.H. Lawrence, you should try Sons and Lovers. I think it's his best, though it's not the one he's most famous for. Hope you'll share a comparison review with us soon!

Got Roy Orbison... as a free copy through the post. Now passed on to spread the joy. Or clingfilm...

Shame it's not distributed with some main UK suppliers, then I could sell them!

I don't mind comments at all--in fact, I'm grateful for them! And I'm very glad you're enjoying Felix & Mildmay.

I try to keep my ratings evenly balanced - for 2.5 to be average/what I'd expect and 5 to be outstanding - but I seem to be reading a lot of outstanding books... :(
