Watchmen Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons £13.49 £17.99 You save £4.50 (25%) Rorschach, a half-psychotic vigilante must convince his ex team-mates, now middle-aged and retired, that he has uncovered a plot to murder the remaining superheroes - along with millions of innocent civilians. Even reunited, will the remnants of the 'Watchmen' be enough to avert a global apocalypse?	14:04, 04 Apr 2008 Watchmen Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons (0 agreements, disagreements) Graphic novels aren't for kids and the main reason that statement rings true is this story and its impact on the medium. Alan Moore's epic tale examines just what makes a group of well meaning members of society dress up in spandex and fight crime. What follows is a fascinating psychological study married perfectly with a fast paced conspiracy thriller. Comics really can be serious literature and ... Read complete review

He kills it - but that's not the end of this particular mystery.	14:04, 04 Apr 2008 Barnaby Grimes: The Curse of the Nightwolf Chris Riddell and Paul Stewart (0 agreements, disagreements) A new direction from the writers of the Edge Chronicles but not a different quality. A tight storyline with fright and terror on every page and one of the most gripping opening chapters in any book! This book also benefits from the brilliant illustrations of Chris Riddell throughout. Barnaby is a young lad who will deliver any message in any time required by running head long over rooftops and ... Read complete review
Parasite Positive Scott Westerfeld £6.29 £6.99 You save £0.70 (10%) Scott Westerfeld, the award-winning author of MIDNIGHTERS rewrites the vampire myth in this stunning new novel	14:04, 04 Apr 2008 Parasite Positive Scott Westerfeld (0 agreements, disagreements) Cards on the table I really can't get into vampire fiction. Twilight does nothing for me personally and so I was somewhat dubious as to whether I'd enjoy this. But then I love Scott Westerfeld's other fiction so gave it a go. What I found was a fascinating approach to vampire mythology, placing the entire mythos firmly in science. A unique approach to story telling sees every other chapter ... Read complete review
The Recruit: - Bk. 1 (Cherub S.) Robert Muchamore £5.24 £6.99 You save £1.75 (25%) CHERUB: The Recruit features junior MI5.	14:04, 04 Apr 2008 The Recruit: - Bk. 1 (Cherub S.) Robert Muchamore (4 agreements, disagreements) There's a new trend in writing spy fiction for boys following the success of the Alex Rider books and this series is a brilliant example of the genre. Exciting, gritty and brilliantly realistic, Robert Muchamore creates a perfect read for reluctant readers and book lovers alike. James Adams, our main character, is anything but the perfect, little, child spy. Mischevious and girl crazy, James ... Read complete review
