The Raw Shark Texts
2.  The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall
The list author says:
  "Peculiar sci-fi about a man who's memories are eaten by a "conceptual shark" and he has to piece his life back together. Becomes too far out by the end, but is still enjoyable and has a solid cast."

Parallel Worlds: The Science of Alternative Universes and Our Future in the Cosmos
6.  Parallel Worlds: The Science of Alternative Universes and Our Future in the Cosmos by Michio Kaku
The list author says:
  "Should have been really interesting, but to explain ridiculously complex physics to a mass audience is impossible. Many of the theories discussed were hypothetical, so the book could all be nonsense."
£7.69   Used & New from: £4.35
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (27 customer reviews)

7.  Killing Floor (Jack Reacher Novel) by Lee Child

Riddley Walker
8.  Riddley Walker by Russell Hoban
The list author says:
  "Post apocalyptic tale written in a futuristic dialect, making it very frustrating to read. It also has a totally incomprehensible plot. Cannot understand this book's reputation at all."
£6.99   Used & New from: £3.69
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (37 customer reviews)

The New York Trilogy: "City of Glass", "Ghosts" and "Locked Room"

The Origin of Species (Oxford World's Classics)
10.  The Origin of Species (Oxford World's Classics) by Charles Darwin
The list author says:
  "Suprisingly modern in parts, very dated in others. The book isn't that well written and feels a bit padded out, but is among the most important ever, regardless."
Used & New from: £0.01
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (46 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion
