The Uncommon Reader - Alan Bennett
With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we're looking for books published in the last year or so that are easy reads, something uplifting to take to a sunny beach, or to pick up in a quiet moment at home (should you be lucky enough to have one of those). At some point when we've reached a critical mass we'll be handing out a dazzling literary award to the winning book (watch out Mr Booker) so please add as many reviews as you like and feel free to comment on other folks' choices. As ever, if you have any suggestions for new categories you'd like to see, please send them over to contactus@mumsnet.com.

Great book, quite a light, amusing read. I was just a bit disappointed that it was so short.

A great read, very amusing and easy to remember where you are when you are only able to read short snippets at a time!

(Published 6 Sep 2007) - A cheery British novella about the Queen discovering a love of reading after coming across a mobile library. Definitely a good light read for a jolly holiday.
