An Utterly Impartial History of Britain
By John O'Farrel
I borrowed this from A - I'm not much of a history buff, but the Temeraire books and 'In Our Time' program have whetted my interest somewhat, so I thought he'd be an entertaining narrator. As indeed he is! Its a thick book - 551 pages, but I read it fairly quickly and feel I've retained some. its got O'Farrel's trademark laconic wit, which makes what could be dry reading quite enjoyable. the middle ages gets a little slow going, but then, its not the dark ages for nothing, I guess..

The Intruders
By Michael Marshal
I bought this cheap in Asda - I thought it was the next in his horror/thriller series, but in truth its more of a blend of the more outre of the thriller, and the weirder of his speculative fantasy. I found it a little too immersed in conspiracy theory and so forth - more the ramblings of an internet nutter as a backdrop, but Marshal does take that and weave it into a story. Not sure about the ending though - he hints at it throughout the book, true, but it still feels wrong as it happens. Anyway, I'll be looking to get his next book in paperback when its out for sure.
