Soul Mountain (my views) Gao Xinjian is the only novelist from China who has the honor of winning the Nobel Prize for Literature for his memorable novel ‘Soul Mountain’ which has set a new trail for the Chinese novel. It is an autobiographical social commentary that has significant place for the supernatural in its plot. It describes the self-imposed exile in Sichuan Province from where the author draws elements of the plot. Had he been in the central China, he would have definitely faced persecution but the seclusion provided him time enough to set out for his spiritual pilgrimage.

A real page turner with twists and turns. The characters were realistic and you felt like you were sharing their emotions as they sought to survive in a modern day world where they were still considered the monsters.

As a Stephen King fan, I've been disappointed with his work recently. 'Cell' seemed to be just a long personal bitch about cell phones, which was not really what I was looking for. Cell phones (or mobiles, as we call them here in England) are awesome. I will have no man speak against them. However, Duma Key seemed to be a return to form. I loved it.

“The Gruffalo” is another of our all time favourites. It is so well written and such a great story. The boys can recite it word for word and never get sick of it. This story is destined to become a classic of this generation like “Three Little Pigs” or “Little Red Riding Hood” was for my generation.
