Compulsion by Jonathan Kellerman

*****

The Ghost by Robert Harris

*****

God Is Not Great

*****

Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult

*****

Easy to read, page turner of a novel whose main character is Peter, a bullied teenager, who heads into high school one morning armed and kills ten people. I found many of the characters to be cliched and a bit one dimensional. But despite that the...

Since Sibeal inherited her brother's repackaged, that is, case changed to a pink one, Nintendo DS, we have been on the lookout for a game that would suit her. As she can't read yet, many of the console games out just didn't work for...
