Very interesting - I've never read any books by Patterson, sounds like a good quick read. <br /><br />I've read the first three of Carola Dunn's Daisy books, so if I stick to them in order it will be ages until I get up to no. 15! <br /><br />Now, The Various does sound intriguing. I only know the Somerset levels from driving through - but it sounds as though that doesn't matter as the descriptions are so atmospheric - is that right?<br /><br />I'm way behind with writing reviews right now - it's so difficult when you can spend days reading, instead of snatching the odd hour here and there!

It seems I can read about psychotic killers but I can't watch them on TV. Be interested to hear what you think.<br /><br />Peggy Ann: Patterson is very popular and I'm still undecided about whether he's for me. And this book does not answer the question either. LOL. <br /><br />However, I think... hope... you will like Daisy.

And living near the area where it's set doesn't harm one little bit.<br /><br />Nan: I'll certainly keep an eye out for it now.<br /><br />Cheryl: I found it to very much a 'win' and am anxious for book 2 to arrive at the library.<br /><br />Christine: I think I can honestly say that The various is one of the best YA fantasy books I've come across in recent years.<br /><br />The Book People often have job lots of Daisy Dalrymple books at bargain prices too.<br /><br />Yvonne: Yes, this is one fantasy book I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending to you.

Interesting that I may have hit the nail on the head with my comments. It might be interesting for me to read a few of his early books to compare. I gather there's also a YA series called, I think, Alex Cross, which are very popular. We'll see. The trouble is, as you know, there are *so* many other books worthy of our attention that it's no easy task choosing which books to actually read.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-38910691194860797612013-05-22T19:24:20.903+01:002013-05-22T19:24:20.903+01:00Hi Cath,
This is one fantasy book which actually ...Hi Cath,<br /><br />This is one fantasy book which actually sounds like one I would enjoy very much. Like yourself, I know the Somerset Levels very well and the notion of 'fairies at the bottom of the garden', is an alluring one.<br /><br />I still haven't got around to reading any Carola Dunn, despite the many excellent reviews you turn out about her books. The cover art on her books is always so attractive and the stories seem to have a little more substance than your typical 'cozy mystery'.<br /><br />I haven't read any James Patterson for some time and you have put your finger on exactly why. His writing has always been very easy and simple to read and his early books were good, however I am just not sure exactly how much of the material he writes for his own books these days and how much is authored by his various 'co-writers'. For me it is almost a matter of principle. If he had only one co-author, who he consorted with on every book, I wouldn't mind so much, but it seems that every book has some new name on the cover!!<br /><br />Nice reviews, as always,<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-58967613488963042532013-05-22T07:27:47.764+01:002013-05-22T07:27:47.764+01:00The Various sounds interesting - not come across t...The Various sounds interesting - not come across that before. I read Gunpowder Plot, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
