What kind of stories do you enjoy?

#1 Run Away

YOUR DAUGHTER IS MISSING. YOU'LL RISK ANYTHING TO FIND HER.

 

And then you see her, frightened and clearly in trouble.

You approach her, beg her to come home.

SHE RUNS.

You follow her into a dark, dangerous world where no-one is safe and murder is commonplace.

NOW IT'S YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE ...

#2 Frankenstein

Victor Frankenstein has made a terrible mistake. In his desperate pursuit to create life, he has created a monster. A monster which, abandoned by his master and shunned by everyone it meets, follows Dr Frankenstein to the very ends of the earth with horror and murder in its recycled heart.

Mary Shelley takes the reader on a journey through St Petersburg, to the beautiful Swiss Alps, to the desolate waste of the Arctic Circle, in a story that has sent a chill down the spines of generations.

#3 Life & Times Of The Thunderbolt Kid

Bill Bryson’s first travel book opened with the immortal line, ‘I come from Des Moines. Somebody had to.’ In this deeply funny and personal memoir, he travels back in time to explore the ordinary kid he once was, in the curious world of 1950s Middle America. It was a happy time, when almost everything was good for you, including DDT, cigarettes and nuclear fallout. This is a book about one boy’s growing up. But in Bryson’s hands, it becomes everyone’s story, one that will speak volumes – especially to anyone who has ever been young.

Which book do you think you'll enjoy reading the most?
