Product Information

A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. Robert clearly loves his sister, and is determined to make amends for not making the time to listen to her when she needed him.

I’m happy to say that any worries I might have had were laid to rest almost immediately upon opening the book. On one hand she’s a sympathetic and seemingly guileless character, but on the other she seems far more scheming than one would expect.For example, using the same War of the Worlds book as the key, the message "no ammo" could be encoded as "12 10 / 50 31 59 34" since the words with those positions in the novel are " nineteenth", " of", " almost", " mortal", " might", and " own".

Thus, a spy wishing to send information about troop movements and numbers of armaments would be unlikely to find a cookbook or romance novel useful keys. Littered throughout with concise and well-chosen case studies, Key Concepts in Public Archaeology could become essential reading for undergraduates and is a welcome reminder of where archaeology sits in UK society today. And not in a way that sacrifices character development for action scenes (see the Midnighter series by Scott Westerfeld). This summer sees the release of her fourth book, Her Last Promise, a sweeping tale of a daughter's quest to unravel the secrets of her mother's disappearance. The story in itself was entertaining and full of action, but I despise this book with all my heart because of the ending.A ver, sé que esto es una historia de fantasía y tal, pero eso de que la autora venga y me diga que, en el año 9695 antes de Cristo, existiera una civilización con tecnología mucho, muchísimo más avanzada que la que tenemos en la actualidad, más de diez mil años después, es que eso sí que NO ME LO CREO. I love reading children's books, talking to them about books, engaging them in reading for pleasure and recommending books to them. Author Ruth Ware is the mistress of creating atmospheric settings, and this time it’s a house that’s part old-school Gothic, part modernity gone wrong.

In the American Revolution, Benedict Arnold used a book cipher, sometimes known as the Arnold Cipher, which used Sir William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England as a key text. Not only is it a thoroughly absorbing and well-written novel, but it’s also an insightful, if disturbing, glimpse into a system that even at the time was out-dated and failed more patients than it likely helped.

I absolutely loved this heart-racing adventure which I genuinely could not put down as I was transported between a newly free Krasnia to the most fascinating and richly described world of the Hinterland. She describes the job, the family, and the house, escalating the dread and fear as the story progresses.His investigative reporting has led him to the poppy fields of Afghanistan, the copper mines of Congo and to many banks in the City of London.

Her debut novel, The Letter, set in her home town, was first published in 2013 and since then has become an international best-seller, translated into 30 languages. The English Electric Type 3 (later Class 37) was introduced from the late 1950s to the early 1960s at a time when the writing was on the wall for steam traction. Kathryn Hughes’ The Key is a historical novel with genuine heart, packing an emotional punch with its story of life in a 1950’s lunatic asylum from both the perspective of the nurses and the patients. Ellen is just a student nurse though, and she can only watch on passively as Amy loses more and more of herself. Part of the house couldn’t be salvaged, so the new homeowners “ripped out” the back of the home and replaced it with a glass and steel structure.Matt, presented as overprotective and obnoxious in the first book grows into a strong and ultimately beloved character over the course of this final chapter. Not only does he feel like he has the right to Neriah, demanding that because he "claimed" her first then Matt can't express feelings for her and she can't choose Matt, but it doesn't come to anything. I wanted to know more about Arkarian and Isabel, but about halfway through I realized that it had to be through new people because more things needed to be settled and we as the readers needed to witness their maturity in the first person. It’s a solid storyline that builds on the foundations laid in Sanctus, and while it lacks something of the previous book, The Key is still amongst the best thrillers you will read this year. This novel, set in the beautiful, rugged Highlands, made me want to visit Scotland again, but not if I had to stay in that house with that family!
