| | 11. |  | The Big Book of "Top Gear" 2009
from BBC Books
Price: £6.49
Customer Review:
I bought this for my 12-year-old son and he loved it. If you're looking for serious car reviews (or serious material of any kind) you will be sadly disappointed - this book definitely focuses on the laddish and jokey elements of the show, and if you like those, you'll love this. There is a 'What Top... more info

| | 13. |  | The White Tiger
from Atlantic Books
Price: £7.79
Customer Review:
When I first picked up this Booker winner, I thought it was just like every other novel I'd read about modern India, wallowing in self pity and weighed down by the colossal shoulder-chip of post-colonialism and the caste system.
Perhaps I must take into account the author's tender years (he's... more info

| | 14. |  | The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream
from Canongate Books
Price: £3.99
Customer Review:
Nervy, hand wringing account of his lack of ideas on a huge range of subjects, the exception being his knowledge of street gangs in Jakarta. Well meaning Jimmy Carter'ish intelligence dribble. Hardly awe inspiring and Messers Iraq, Iran and Johnny Taliban are going to eat this pilgrim for breakfast.

| | 15. |  | That's Another Story: The Autobiography
from Weidenfeld & Nicolson
Price: £5.70
Customer Review:
I was a happy bunny when I received this as a Christmas present! Julie Walters has been in the limelight a long time, but I wouldn't have called myself a 'fan' as such until more recently, when she appeared in films such as Calendar Girls, Harry Potter and Mamma Mia, and the hilarious TV drama... more info

| | 16. |  | The Book Thief
from Black Swan
Price: £5.59
Customer Review:
I have mixed feelings about this book. I thought the idea of having Death narrate the story was a great idea and at the end this was superbly done. Unfortunately, he doesn't really have much to do with the story of orphan Liesl and her Aunt and Uncle, the Jewish friend they keep hidden from the... more info

| | 17. |  | The Girl Who Played with Fire
from Maclehose Press
Price: £7.64
Customer Review:
An outstanding and dare I say superior sequel to "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". Having read the first story of the trilogy this summer I was eager to know how the sequel would compare. In the girl with the dragon tattoo, Lisebeth Salander is definitely an enigmatic character and there are subtle... more info

| | 18. |  | The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World
from Allen Lane
Price: £12.50
Customer Review:
Niall Ferguson again here brings us a history that is informative, entertaining and sobering. Being published in the midst of a global economic meltdown, for a book such as this, is a mixed blessing, as a step too far on the bearish side may make the author look like a doommonger, whilst being even... more info

from Fourth Estate Ltd
Price: £6.49
Customer Review:
I have enjoyed Ben Goldacre's colum in the Guardian for some time. I initially thought his book was going to be simply a collection of those articles; it is far more than that. What a compelling and comprehensive account he gives of the the nature of evidence-based medicine. Thank goodness there is... more info
