Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The Lovely Bones is excellent!. It's on the list of the 100 greatest books!. I for sure recommend it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I have only read two books on your list!. One is 'I Capture the Castle' by Dodie Smith, which was one of my favourite books when I was a teenager!. It is a really good story, with wonderful characters, a lot of humour and some romance!. It is certainly worth reading, i read it again and again when I was young!.
The other is 'The Bean Trees' by Barbara Kingsolver, which is also a very good book, though quite different from the 'I Capture the Castle'!. It has a strong, interesting heroine, and is a gripping story, with charm and humour and some memorable characters!. You might find some of the story a bit disturbing (the heroine rescues a small child who has been very badly abused), but it is ultimately a heartwarming and hopeful tale!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
A Child Called 'It' -- painful but good!. Will depress you for ages!.
Hope's Boy -- the writing style sucks!. It wanders around and you forget what you're reading!.
Nothing else looks familiar!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I havent read any of the others but i do like Anne Cassidy

Here's the ones I've read and my vote:
The Lovely Bones--great read
Nature Girl--too long and too much effort to be funny and it's not
That's all I've read on your list!.
Hope it helps a bit!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
A Child Called It:
This is a true story and Dave has written more books about his life then and now!. it is well worth the money!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I read part of The Lovely Bones but, my mom wouldnt let me read the rest!.It was good from what I read!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
i would defintely read a child called it!.!.this is a great book!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
The Lovely Bones is a fantastic book, but really sad in parts!. my dad read it sat in the car so that he could have a bit of a cry without my brother thinking he was a wuss :)
I've read both Nature Girl and Sick Puppy, and found them both very funny!. It's unusual to find a crime/thriller that's also a comedy, and i found that very refreshing!.
I haven't read Snuff but i have read other Chuck Palahniuk, it's very good and often darkly funny but can also be disturbing!.
A Child Called It i have read, and while i wouldn't say it's enjoyable (its kind of harrowing) it does do well to raise awareness of domestic abuse and how it can go unnoticed!.
Although i generally don't like that kind of book!. Mostly because there is a section in bookshops called 'life stories', and all the books have titles like 'No, Daddy, No!' and 'Don't Tell Anyone'!.!.!.!. and the thought of someone actually deliberately heading for this section to pick themselves something is kind of sick!.
hope this all helpedWww@QuestionHome@Com
