show 18th March 2010.

My guests this week are Brian Lowen, back from holiday and Maggie Perkovic. Books being reviewed are Nothing to Lose by Lee Child, Penguins Stop Play by Harry Thompson
Q & A (Slumdog Millionaire) by Vikas Swarup, The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters and at last, a review I've been waiting to do for months, Martina Cole's 'Close'.

Maggie hope you had a lovely Mothers day. I had a wonderful, relaxing, last minute 2 night break at St Michaels Hotel in Falmouth. We had an amazing suite, lounge, huge bathroom, and a sea view over the Lizard peninsular. I have to add that the staff were lovely and friendly too.

Hope everyone has recovered from their celebrations of St Patricks Day, happy birthday for yesterday Debbie Blewitt.

Q & A (Slumdog Millionaire) by Vikas Swarup I have to say Maggie I haven’t read the book but I watched the film which I thought was very clever. One reviewer said: Great Movie, Even Better Book. Have there been any films which were better than the books they were based on? anybody have any nominations for that?
Penguins Stopped Play by Harry Thompson, wondering what you thought of this one Biran. I read some excerpts of this last year and found it really funny and I am not a cricket fan! I actually found this book in January this year in a charity shop near my mums. I bought it for my brother who doesn’t read but likes cricket – I must ask him if he read it as I told him it was funny.
