Review Killer Mushrooms Ate My Gran: Complete & Unabridged / Chivers Children's Audio Books:You can pretty much guarantee that any book with the title Killer Mushrooms Ate My Gran is going to be something rather extraordinary, and you really will not be disappointed. Whether you are looking for laugh-out-loud hilarity, a touch of the spooky or simply a cracking good story, then this could well be the book for you. Maggot, our hero, and his gran discover some strange mushrooms that look like huge red brains and have the ability to infiltrate the human brain with their spores. When the mushrooms get their evil way with his gran, Maggot decides that enough is enough and sets out to save her from the horror of it all, while simultaneously saving mankind from their poison-no mean feat considering the fugitive fungi seem to have plans to take over the world. Killer Mushrooms Ate My Gran is just about as exciting a story as you can get, and successfully combines the kind of slapstick humour that appeals to kids with tense and scary moments that are topped off beautifully with a bucket load of gunge. Author Susan Gates has given us a book that will undoubtedly appeal to even the most reluctant of readers, and one that will surely become an all-time favourite. Age 8 and over. -Susan Harrison.

Review The Historian / Time Warner AudioBooks:Some stories can be told again in endlessly different ways. Elizabeth Kostova's The Historian combines a search for the historical Dracula with a profound sense that Stoker got some things right-that the late Mediaeval tyrant kills among us yet, undead and dangerous. From Stoker, she also takes a sense that the supernatural seems more real when embedded in documentary evidence. Three generations search for Dracula's resting place, and their stories are nested within each other, so that we know that at least two quests ended badly. Kostova rations her thrills very carefully so that we jump out of our chair at quite slight surprises, especially when we have come to expect buckets of blood and loud bangs. She also has a profound and well-communicated sense of place and period, so that the book is equally at home in 1930s Rumania, Cold War Budapest and 1970s Oxford. Kostova is particularly good on the sights and sounds of remote country places and the taste of real peasant food-this sensuous realism does not always go with her other skill, the creation of imagined documents and folksongs that feel as real and true as what might be actual. This is a quietly good book rather than a spectacular debut, with some uncomfortable twists in its tail; her heroine-narrators are, and perhaps remain, in the most serious of jeopardies. -Roz Kaveney.
