| Shannon L. Yarbrough, USA | True Life Drama to Keep You Up at Night!
In Real Life Dramas, Burton has written nine captivating stories that will definitely make you hold your breath, and turn your knuckles white as you grip the pages tight in your hands. The foreword of the book claims these are indeed real life events that did take place with real people, which only makes the suspense in reading this book that more intense.
We begin with a story called 'Mauled' about a surfer who escapes the clutches of death during a mad shark attack. Even Peter Benchley would be afraid of the water after reading this story! Next is 'Captive,' and it will definitely have you checking over your shoulder to see if anyone is watching. A teenage girl is taken hostage while walking home from work late at night. The agonizing terror and thoughts of what will happen to her overcome her mind, and the reader goes on a step by step journey with the poor girl as she tries to escape her captor.
Next is a very short story called 'Shallow Grave.' It begins with a woman out for a stroll with her beloved dog. I immediately had thoughts of some sort of avalanche or mud slide happening and the lady being buried alive. I was wrong. Instead, the woman is thrown into a very traumatic situation when her dog discovers the decomposing bodies of two dead boys.
I have to admit that Burton definitely knows what strings to pull. His stories are not written in typical reporter style. They are totally unpredictable, and each will take you on a horrifying journey that will probably keep you up at night or haunt your dreams when sleep does finally come. You'll be thinking about each of these tales long after you've turned the last page.
Next is the story of a couple and how they and their home survive a forest fire, followed by a man who gets attacked by thugs after leaving a club one night. These two stories may not seem as horrific as the ones mentioned earlier, but what makes them just as extreme is how the author builds up to the climactic moment. On each page, the author puts the reader right there in the real life scenario. We are with the central character as they enjoy surfing, or as they are walking home at night, or leaving a club after a game of pool. The sudden and unpredictable events that are waiting for them just a few minutes ahead are as much as a surprise to the reader as they are to the person in the story.
For those who enjoy a good true-life thrill or can appreciate or relate to an amazing tale of survival, you will definitely want to read Darren Burton's first volume of Real Life Dramas. I certainly look forward to the next! |
| M. Elsley, Australia | The Title Says It All
I am generally not a good reader with books, unless they really get me in. Certainly this one has.
How To Keep Your Man is full of helpful tips and advice, and my recommendation is to definitely read this one. Once I started reading it I didn't want to put it down. It taught me more about how a man thinks and feels in a relationship. What he responds positively to and what he reacts negatively to. A few of my girlfriends are now reading this book as well, and even one of their partners.
Congratulations, Darren G. Burton. One of the most helpful, insightful and interesting books I have read. It has certainly given me a greater understanding of my partner and put a lot of my relationship issues into perspective!

| David Rodwell, London | THE DA VINCI CODE ISSUES ANSWERED
This book has made everything clear to me. The book informs the reader about the links between Saunierre, The Templars, the Holy Grail and the heretic art of Botticelli and Da Vinci. The book is well researched and opened my eyes to a whole new concept of humanity. a good read that I couldn't put down. |
| Julie Watt, Yorkshire | Bloomin' Brilliant
This book has everything you want - magic, mystery and that real life sense that it could all happen to you.
It's a bit like Harry Potter meets Star wars I guess.
In the novel we kearn the magical secrets of the elements and enjoy a fast paced adevnture that will suit readers of all ages.
I get the feeling this book is going to be big!
Journey into the secret world fo Lore, enjoy comical charcters and the most imaginitive creatures you can think off.
A perfect read for teens and adults wanting to recapture that feeling of magic in their lives.
Roll on book 2 I loved it.

| John Barker, London | Excellent...must read.
It is rare I write a review, but this time I thought that I must. This book at first terrified me about the bleak future that awaits us if we don't take action, but very soon after it inspired me with confidence that I can become financially free. His wealth formula is a simple yet powerful reminder of the skills we need to make it and his thorough and detailed knowledge is nothing short of remarkable. Buy it, read it...then re-read it. |
| Eva, Australia | A Great Book
It is one of the most fantastic books I have ever read. It captured my imagination and inspired me to do things I never thought possible. The only thing that I don't like about this book is that it ends too soon. It feels like it is unfinished, too rushed and in need of a followup book. Having said that, it it a wonderfull book and one to read agian and again. |
| Ronnie Robinson, Essex | Faces - Martina Cole
I was very disappointed with this book. It seem to me Martina ran out of ideas whilst she was writing, and appears to repeat the sacrifices the main character went through. I think this book is lacking in plot, content, and imagination. I can only hope Martina will bear this in mind when she writes her next one |

| Tracey Manning, South Shields | Just Finished
Just finished the final harry potter book and i must say loved the ending and final twists. dont want to spoil it for any one though. but halfway through i thought it was becoming a bit tame and repetative, but the last quarter of the book is excellent, much better than i could ever have anticipated.
thank you JK for letting us in to harry's world |
| Janet Irizarry, UK | I Cried
I felt such a deep connection and realness. She touched things deep within me and brought forth great emotion. Truly a magnificient book a outstanding poet. |
| James Miller, London | A valuable reference work.
Oliver James's skill as a writer has captured the essence of an informative and interesting read with an understandable academic content, which makes this book a valuable reference work. |
| Dave, England | Why isn't this a best seller
This has got to be the best book I have read this year! On every page you can tell that the writer has experienced what he's writing about and it soon sucked me in to the hero's story. Well worth a read. |
| Dysee, Spain | Sad, but excellent
I did enjoy this book, and I find that, as opposed to other people, EG does have an excellent command of english. These days there are so many americanisms in our language anyway, it would be really difficult to know what language an english person would or would not
use. The only thing that worries me is that this seems to be the end of Lynley & Co. They've all ended up with ends tied up in their personal lives, which leads us to assume that this is it....So what's next ?
I don't have the book in front of me...have returned it to the library, but I love the phrase where Lynley, deciding about Helen, describes how he feels..The thing that describes her against the thing that defines her. An elegant way to put his dilemma. Well done EG. I shall remember that phrase for a long time. |
