Just that really.

I need a book that is not too 'heavy' or long...

I'm trying to get someone 'into' reading.

I have ideas - the flowers in the attic, agatha Christie, gone girl, Mark Edwards, jojo moyes...

Any genre...ideas?

Carl Hiaasen's Sick Puppy Don't be put off by the title. It's easy, funny, topical with good pace.
VI Warshawski series has a great female protagonist. Kathleen Turner played her in the film.

Is this an adult? I know a few adults who never read but somehow have all read Harry Potter.. could be a good place to start?

Do they want to get into reading? If they’re not bothered then no book would do the trick. If they want to but they just need something to ease them in, I agree with Agatha Christie is fun and easy. Maybe something by Catherine Ryan Hyde as well.
