Eric Hartwell's Articles in Book-Reviews

  • The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne
    This is the best book I have read in a long while, the story is simple enough but the multiple themes that run through it makes it so much more. The story is about two boys divided by culture, religion, society, a war and a real life fence. They are brought together by their common need for a friend and this is something that can happen due to their innocence. They understand that what's happening to them is not right but are unaware of the true horrors behind the things that are happening all around them. This innocence allows their friendship to grow without the knowledge that they are really on different sides and without them realising that indirectly they are the others reason for being where they are.
  • The Empty Chair By Jeffery Deaver
    I have just finished reading the Empty Chair by Jeffery Deaver. It featured Lincoln Rhyme at his best, as the quadraplegic forensic scientist and his partner Amelia Sachs. It was full of twists that kept you guessing at every page turn. The layering of characters kept you thinking, as you are never sure who were really the good guys and who had ulterior motives.
  • Murder Is All The Rage: Jonathan Kellerman
    An Alex Delaware and Milo Stugis murder mystery thriller, giving you the psychological thinking and the dogged police perspective. As always the story is full of twists and turns with several very likely suspects all with dubious backgrounds and possible motives.
  • The Girls: Lori Lansens
    Quite a short and interesting story - quaint in some places and very easy to read. It is set in Canada and although it is fiction it is written as if it’s an autobiography of conjoined twins.
  • Brighton Rock: Good and Evil
    A dark and brooding book set in post war Brighton with well developed and believable characters. Ida Arnold is an unlikely heroine but is dogged in her pursuit of the villain Pinkie for whom she desires punishment and in her longing and need to save Rose, who she sees as an innocent and vulnerable child.
  • Cecelia Ahern: If You Could See Me Now
    I picked this book to read, expecting it to be very similar to Cecelia Ahern's two other books – "PS I Love You," and "Where Rainbows End." I enjoyed both these books very much, finding them easy to read and real ‘page turners’. Neither was particularly thought provoking, being light, romantic tales.
  • Paul McKenna: I Can Make You Thin-Review
    I had been struggling with my weight for years (haven't we all!) and had a particular problem with binge eating. I found that I could eat healthily all day, but by the evening, when I was tired, I would eat anything and everything that I could lay my hands on!
