Review: Stolen Child


Stolen Child
Stolen Child by Laura Elliot

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I could not put it down. The author explores the hearts, souls and minds of diverse characters from different backgrounds bringing them together in a story that traces the life of a couple whose baby is stolen, the couple who are bringing up the child as their own, and the child itself.

Compelling reading ..... fantastic read

Review: Life After Life


Life After Life
Life After Life by Kate Atkinson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Recommended by a friend, I was a little unsure to start with but got thoroughly hooked. The author tackles a difficult, maybe unbelievable, subject well and pulls it all together as the story continues. Great characters and descriptions draw you in. "unputdownable"!

Review: The Clouded Hills


The Clouded Hills
The Clouded Hills by Brenda Jagger

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



I would have rated it so much higher if there had not been so many typos; so many that they distracted from the story line and I had to go back and read many sentences / paragraphs at least twice to understand what was happening.

Is this the price we pay for self-publishing? Please please authors get someone to at least proof read your books before publishing them!
