I could see this one being made into a movie.

I'm a big Connolly fan. I love his Charlie Parker series. I bought The Gates in hardback when it was released and I loved it. I also loved The Book Of Lost Things although it got mixed reviews.
Un Lun Dun by China Mieville was another YA book I thoroughly enjoyed.
I started and finished Endurance, I read it pretty quickly and it kept my interest. Some creepy bits along with some far fetched stuff but nevertheless I thought it good horror.
I've started Florence and Giles by John Harding. This was a 99p book from the Kindle store. It has pretty ace reviews and the dialogue of Florence is supposed to be very quirky. It's being touted as a gothic tale. I can't wait to read more.
