Death from the Woods by Brigitte Aubert

The best story I have read for a long while. Imagine being completely helpless and unable to communicate your pleas to someone else...at the same time hearing stories about a murderer killing little boys and knowing that the person is on your track, you begin to second-guess the people around you. i would say the suspense is pretty killing.

Summary from Amazon.com

Elise Andrioli has been left blind, mute, and quadriplegic (complete paralyze from neckdown) after a terrorist bomb explosion in Northern Ireland that killed her fiancé. Back in the small suburb outside Paris where she lives, Elise leads a solitary life except for the contact that she has with her caretakers. However, a series of grisly local murders has shaken the residents. Young boys have been disappearing only to be discovered a day later, dead and horribly mutilated.

One morning, while waiting in her wheelchair outside a supermarket, Elise is approached by a small girl named Virginie, who confides that she was present when "Death from the Woods" murdered Michael, a boy reported missing several days earlier. Later that afternoon, Michael's death is confirmed on the local news. Elise is intrigued but has no idea who Virginie is or how to find her. But soon Virginie reappears and offers Elise more information about the murders. The investigating police officer suspects that Virginie is giving information to Elise that she is reluctant to give to him, and tries to set up a communication system between himself and Elise to find out what she knows. But someone else also suspects that Elise knows something--and after an accident that almost costs her her life, she must try to convey her knowledge to those around her. But how?

The Little Black Dress books series - by different authors, but most are pretty not bad~

John Grisham - The Appeal (currently reading), The Innocent Man

Cecelia Ahern - Where rainbows end --> it's awfully nice, reading thru how two childhood friends miss one another in Love again and again~ and PS I love You

(",)

constance briscoe - ugly
jodi picoult - ninteen minutes, sister's keeper.
kim edward - the memory keeper's daughter

i realised nobody recommended Ugly. i've just finished the book a couple of weeks ago and thought it's pretty good. it made me realise how people would try and fit into the crowd while some others wouldn't care more about fitting. there's a bit on child abuse here.

i personally think that you'd never go wrong with any of jodi picoult's books.

I'd say "A Place Called Home" by Cecelia Ahern.

Hmm...books with child abuse in them are quite entertaining.

Middlesex
Empress Orchid (Prequel)
The last Empress (Sequel)
The Bitch Goddess Notebook (Bitch/Chick Lit?)
all books by Catherine Lim, seriously.
God is not great, for those who likes a little challenge to their faith.

If anyone enjoy medical thrillers, you can look for this book, "The miracle strain" by Michael Cordy.

Basically its abt one doctor who wants to find a cure for his daugther's illness through DNA research on the number 1 savior of the world, Jesus. Book revolves around his search on the possibility of healers which brought him to a secret society who could possibly possess the DNA of Jesus himself when he was a man. The secret society has its own secrets and motive. Involves mystery, medical science and certain possibilities never to be thought of. The book is really addictive. Strongly recommend it for those who likes medical thrillers. Cheers!

read the dave pelzer books too...
the book gives an emotional insight(i guess) into the life of an abused kid growing up
but you need to read the 3 related books by him before really getting the full story

I recommend this book. It's my first book to read it all completely, juz once.
Caught in the Crossfire by Alan Gibbons

The only reason I can complete the book in three weeks is because it is interesting? haha. The story has something to do with the differences of race. I can't really remember everything anymore since it had been in the year 2007(pretty sure it was) I borrowed it in the library. Feel like borrowing it again, or better, buy one.

Nevermind, I don't want to type how it goes. Suppose when I type, you'll know everything haha. But if you are into a love and a bit of action, you may find this book interesting.

Angels&Devils is nice too, thrilling.
same author as Da Vinci, Dan Brown.
and storyline of both the book- somehow similar.
i'd prefer Angels&Demons though :D

Choke by Chuck Palahniuk is an interesting read, though the recent movie adaptation of it did not do the novelist's intended wicked and sometimes warped sense of humour any justice at all.

Hollyweird dumbing it down for the shmucks obviously.
