A Listmania! list by Lisa L. Hansen (Køge, Denmark)
 
The Twins
1.  The Twins by Tessa de Loo
The list author says:
  "A well-written example of how we should always judge people as individuals and not as part of a group. Changed how I view Germany during WWII and moved me deeply."

Kissing in Manhattan
2.  Kissing in Manhattan by David Schickler
The list author says:

Used & New from: £0.01

Border Crossing
3.  Border Crossing by Pat Barker
The list author says:
  "Can a child who kills truly understand what it's doing? Is it right to try a child as an adult? This book won't give you the answers but it will definitely make you think about it yourself."
Used & New from: £0.01
3.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (14 customer reviews)

House Of Leaves
4.  House Of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski
The list author says:
  "The story itself isn't all that it's hyped up to be but it's still quite good and the book's graphic layout alone makes it worth reading it. Should set new standards for how you can present text."
£16.25   Used & New from: £13.08
3.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (75 customer reviews) | 2 customer discussions

Balzac And The Little Chinese Seamstress
5.  Balzac And The Little Chinese Seamstress by Dai Sijie
The list author says:
  "A beautiful and delicate story of how great literature can change people's lives and give them the courage to dare to dream."
£5.79   Used & New from: £0.01
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (21 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Brothers. Life, death, truth (Collins Flamingo)
6.  Brothers. Life, death, truth (Collins Flamingo) by Ted van Lieshout
The list author says:
  "A boy discovers that he and his recently deceased brother shared a big secret and this discovery sets him on a path towards being honest about himself and living life on his own terms."
£8.09   Used & New from: £0.01
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

I Heard the Owl Call My Name (Picador Books)
7.  I Heard the Owl Call My Name (Picador Books) by Margaret Craven
The list author says:
  "The characters are somewhat underdeveloped and it reads more like an argument for the original Native American way of life than a novel but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The ending made me cry."
£5.59   Used & New from: £0.01
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (13 customer reviews)

Under the Skin
8.  Under the Skin by Michel Faber
The list author says:
  "An original and incredibly interesting idea put to very little use. It's worth reading just to experience the scenario he creates but only if you're able to live with an almost complete lack of plot."
Used & New from: £0.01
3.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (106 customer reviews)

Eleven Minutes
9.  Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho
The list author says:
  "Sensual and a little bit sad but also very philosophical in a personal and unpretentious way. It made me see a lot of things from a new perspective and understand all the rave about Paulo Coelho."
Used & New from: £0.01
3.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (63 customer reviews)

Shutter Island
10.  Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane
The list author says:
  "Dennis Lehane is in a league of his own! This book takes the thriller genre to a whole new level and you wouldn't be able to guess the (very realistic) ending if your life depended on it."
Used & New from: £0.01

The Nanny Diaries : A Novel
11.  The Nanny Diaries : A Novel by Nicola Kraus
The list author says:
  "Not as funny as you'd think. Actually quite sad and even a little bit scary as it shows how egocentrical very rich people can be to the point where their children grow up emotionally deprived."
£6.74   Used & New from: £0.01
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (51 customer reviews)

Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code
12.  Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code by Eoin Colfer
The list author says:
  "13-year-old criminal masterminds, SWAT team fairies, centaur electronic buffs, and stone-eating trolls - what's not to love? :) This book is a great ride! Read the first two as well."
Used & New from: £0.01
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (73 customer reviews)

The Holy Man
13.  The Holy Man by Susan Trott
The list author says:
  "Like the chiming of a silver bell or having your heart touched by the wings of a butterfly. This book is so pure and every chapter you read will strike a new chord in your soul."
Used & New from: £0.68

A Heart of Stone
14.  A Heart of Stone by Renate Dorrestein
The list author says:
  "A shocking story of the consequences of untreated puerperal psychosis in a time when it was unknown. Absolutely heartbreaking and therefore a little hard to get through sometimes but so worth it."
Used & New from: £0.01
