Chronosphere Book 1: Time out of Time

I have to say that I loved the idea of the Chronosphere... And I loved the descriptions of this new world which made it really easy to imagine what it would be like... The writing is fast paced and engaging... Time Out Of Time is a great start to the Chronosphere series and I can’t wait to see what twists and turns lay in store in future books and what more Raffi and friends have to deal with.

A blend of high-tech and rural picnicking, with copious odd-sounding drinks, lots of choices, and suitably memorable hourglass-shaped central habitat, it's a place teen readers could easily see themselves in. The dark side to it all is still suitably obscure by the end - I am sure this launches a trilogy or larger series - and has the added benefit of being based around that Wibbly-Wobbly, Timey-Wimey stuff, as Doctor Who once called it... In fact, and this is high praise, I could easily see this sitting along Scott Westerfeld's future-set teen sci-fantasies.

The world created in this book is fascinating, the technological developments are all really exciting though there are points where the technology becomes quite scary. I liked the way that the science behind the time bending aspects of the book is included, there was a risk this could have been confusing but for me it was balanced just right.
Juniper's Jungle

The author has created a future world where the trade-off for a life of luxury is control by a ruthless police state. The story is in turn exciting, sexy and thought-provoking and the author shows an intuitive knowledge of his target audience, the gadget-savvy teenager.

Chronosphere Book 2: Malfunction

I loved this book, and really liked the way we got to understand more about the Chronosphere, both how it works and why it exists. I also liked the examination of the society within the Chronosphere, I always find accounts of societies disintegrating interesting – particularly the way people try to survive.
Juniper's Jungle

Fluid, concise and entertaining.

Fiction Express: Soul Shadows (Chapter 1)

This definitely has a dark and creepy feel, I hope it continues in the same way. Estelle is an intriguing character, I definitely want to know more about her.

I thought this book wouldn't be for me - and I was wrong! I tried it anyway and it is brilliant! This will be a incredible book.

Omigod! I didn't think this would be my kind of story, but just from the first chapter I can tell it is. It's a little bit scary, and it really makes you sit on the edge of your seat.

Wow! Soul Shadows had me gripped from beginning to end. The writing style is very vivid and descriptive, which is perfect for this creepy story.

A Roman Journey

Woolf’s writing is packed with information without being patronising, and he manages to mix well-known facts with rarer nuggets of information.
Jubilee Books 

Using the theme of transport and travel, Alex Woolf provides an utterly absorbing background to the social conditions prevailing in the Roman Empire at that time.

Battle of Britain

I started reading for information but found myself hooked on the stories, always a sign of a good reference book.
