I'm reading "A Place of Safety" by Helen Black, I have been reading it for ages but things keep happening and I keep getting distracted, it's really good though, the book includes the character from her first book "Damaged Goods" which is amazing.

** A Place of Safety **

Anna thinks she's found a safe haven -
but her troubles have only just begun...

The brutal rape of a young asylum seeker plunges childcare lawyer
Lilly Valentine into the toughest case of her life.

Teenager Anna is trying to build a life for herself after fleeing the
atrocities in her homeland. But her newly-found peace is shattered
when a chance meeting with three public schoolboys ends in her being
horrifically assaulted. Anna's friend, Artan, begs Lilly to seek justice
through the courts - but Lilly is sceptical. What jury will believe the
words of an asylum seeker over those of three privileged boys?

When Artan and Anna turn up at school determined to seek
revenge, tragedy arises and Anna is arrested. Wracked with guilt,
Lilly feels compelled to take on her case - despite the objections
of all around her.

When Lilly's family and friends become a target, Lilly has to decide
whether to follow her conscience and defend Anna - or is this case
just too close to home?

Here is the first chapter of 'A Place of Safety': http://www.hblack.co.uk/documents/Place_Safety_Chapter.pdf

I just started reading twilight ( I´ve watched the film and I didn´t like it at all although I like the history) so I want to understand why is it so famous reading to it.

when I was young I love harry potter. I´ve read until the forth ( more than once ) and I bought the fifth although I´m not able to read it, Now I find it boring.

akos, what adventure books have you read?? I also love them, although most of the adventure/mistery books I´ve read are from Spanish writters.

**Labros!** Mon Jul 20, 2009 5:59 pm

Before some days I read a book called ''H teleutaia maurh gata'' by Evgenios Trivizas

**TinaCZ** Mon Jul 27, 2009 9:07 pm

**Lisa!** Mon Jul 27, 2009 9:11 pm

Everybody says that so i thought i d find out for myself! i havent seen the film yet so i dont know! but i ve heard that the 5th film is rubbish compared to the book!
have you seen the film tina?

**TinaCZ** Mon Jul 27, 2009 9:14 pm

no, and I'm not going to. cinemas here are quite expensive for me and I'd rather went to see a movie I don't know than something I had read and love.

**Lisa!** Mon Jul 27, 2009 9:36 pm

ooo, i think i might just wait until the dvd, because they are sooo long! and at least then you can pause it lol

**Martako!** Mon Jul 27, 2009 9:49 pm

i often start books and never finish them or finish them about 1 year later

**Lisa!** Mon Jul 27, 2009 9:53 pm

Thats the same with me! I thought that would happen with Harry Potter book but it hasnt so thats good!

it's not rubbish, it's just a bit slow, and some details have been changed/left out. it's kinda good. :roll:

**Lisa!** Mon Jul 27, 2009 11:54 pm

Cool! i still wanna see it even though some people didnt like it lol

**Tiago** Tue Jul 28, 2009 12:15 am

I haven't seen it but it's almost impossible for the movie to top the 5th book. Maybe that's why people say they didn't like it because they are comparing it to the book

**Dionisas** Tue Jul 28, 2009 12:24 am

Thanks God I didn't caught obsession of Twilight or Harry Potter lol!

At this moment I read Homer's "Iliada". I wanted to read this books a lot time ago, but just now started.

i thought the book was a bit too dark, a bit depressing, so i was looking forward for the movie.

**Lisa!** Tue Jul 28, 2009 4:59 pm
