The third and final installment in Patrick Ness' fantastic Chaos Walking series. As the three sides prepare for the impending war, Todd & Viola are once again separated and become pawns in a conflict they didn't initiate. The possibility of peace is slipping through their fingers as Mayor Prentis and Mistress Coyles true intents become clear. Monster of Men is full of heart racing suspense and examines the perils of war from multiple sides and the value of redemption. A great read for young adults and slightly older adults like me.

The perfect ending to a phenomenal series. Scott Pilgrim, loveable slacker and bass player of garage band Sex Bohomb, faces his greatest challenge yet: Gideon Graves, Ramona's seventh and final evil ex-boyfriend. O'Malley effortlessly blends punk rock, video games, pop culture and and a beautiful love story full of dry humour and superb illustrations. If you haven't yet discovered Scott Pilgrim don't walk but run to your local Oscar & Friends and grab your copy. You won't be disappointed.

Set in post-apocalyptic Bangkok, where life is threatened on one side by the rising sea levels and on the other, rapidly mutating diseases and virus' created by genetic engineering. The Windup Girl follows a cast of complex and authentic characters as they battle to carve out their own place in a constantly shifting and ever shrinking world.

Bacigalupi weaves a rich tale of power, corruption and greed with an original plot and a fantastic sense of place. My Favourite read of 2010!
