The Night of the Hunter by Davis Grubb
Rate this book
Clear rating
This is simply one of the finest literary thrillers I have ever read. It's a classic of that genre - beautifully written but full of page-turning brio and melodrama, and wonderfully psychologically plausible. Cormac McCarthy eat your heart out. ...more

The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
Rate this book
Clear rating
This is a psychologically rich, often disturbing, often moving, perfectly paced and at times amusingly melodramatic masterpiece. The author's personal sins, which if the stories about her are true are extremely serious, don't detract from that - I th ...more

The Idea of Public Law by Martin Loughlin

Clear rating
Most academic monographs should never have been written and have little to offer except to their author's CV, but this is one of the rare exceptions: one that is truly worth reading. ...more

The Nomos of the Earth by Carl Schmitt
Rate this book
Clear rating
There are extremely interesting and thought-provoking elements of the Nomos of the Earth, but they are mostly contained in the first chapter or two and then the appendices. The middle portion is a largely unrewarding - if impressive in its scope - hi ...more

Values for a Godless Age by Francesca Klug
Rate this book
Clear rating
This is a book that manages to be both breathless and bland - an enthusiastic propaganda piece for the Human Rights Act 1998 that does not contain a single turn of phrase in its 200 or so pages. Only of minor historical interest.

The Blood in Winter by Jonathan Healey
Rate this book
Clear rating
This is certainly entertaining and informative, but in the end poorly conceived and executed. The writing is almost at a 'For Dummies' level, and I found myself becoming increasingly irritated in particular by this weird tic Healey has for beating th ...more

On Fantasy Island by Conor Gearty
Rate this book
Clear rating
An absolutely dreadful book, sloppily written and riddled with errors. It reads as though it was written in a stream of consciousness over a few weeks, and was published without proper proofreading or editing. The argument is, meanwhile, terribly con ...more

Public Law and Political Theory by Martin Loughlin
Rate this book
Clear rating
A very good introduction for students to the subject matter which sets out a research agenda but does not quite resolve into a convincing argument or conclusion.
