I finished The Last Dragonslayer by Jasper Fforde a few days ago. Very good fun, a firm 4/5. I liked his mix of contemporary with medieval kingdoms and magic - I doubt if it would stand much scrutiny if taken too seriously, but for a fun little adventure with dragons it worked very well.
And this afternoon, when I should have been working, I finished Turtles All The Way Down by John Green. Neatly constructed, eloquently expressed, compelling and emotionally moving. I loved it, 5/5 for me. Yes, there is some cliché and melodrama in there, but these are teenagers we're talking about, so it fits perfectly.
