    Kiss of a demon King - Kresley Cole
    10/10

    Long awaited in Immortals after dark series, this is one hot author. I drool over the guys in these books, not your sappy heroes and the women teach their guys a lesson or two. Super hot supernatural.

    I'm slowly ploughing through 'Shantaram' by Gregory David Roberts:

    Shantaram is a novel influenced by real events in the life of the author, Australian Gregory David Roberts, filled with mostly fictional adventures. In 1978, Roberts was sentenced to nineteen years' imprisonment in Australia after being convicted of a series of armed robberies of building society branches, credit unions, and shops, which he had committed to feed a heroin addiction after his marriage ended and he lost his daughter. In July 1980, he escaped from Victoria’s Pentridge Prison in broad daylight, thereby becoming one of Australia's most wanted men for the next ten years.
    He then flees to India where the novel is set.

    A brilliant read, although a bit daunting at 936 pages and what looks like a 6pt font size. Plus, the guy had to write it three times after prison guards trashed the first two versions.

    Highly recommended.

    'The Infinite Book' [J.D. Barrow] #oh the irony...

    The author takes us on a short and pleasantly non-technical tour of the history of the concept of infinity in religion, philosophy, mathematics and physics.

    No HIgher Grade or University-Level maths required for this one. [which is more than I can say for a Hawking/Penrose collaboration I found at my library a few years back. ]

    Book - Neverwhere
    Author - Neil Gaiman
    Rating - 5/10

    I haven't read the comics or watched the tv show. I am a fan of Neil Gaiman though.

    Neverwhere could have been much better. It's got a brilliant idea behind it and there are some interesting bits but the characters seem a bit underdeveloped and I for one didn't care about the characters all that much. Some parts of the book felt rushed.

    The ending almost saved it. Almost.
