I prefer stories about 'real life experiences' like ... "A child called it" .. " Handstands in the dark" .."On the run" etc..

Have a read of the following: Sickened by Julie Gregory
One Child by Torey Hayden(She also has other books about other children2)
Street Kid by Judy Westwater
The step child by Donna Ford and Linda Watson Brown
If u liked a child called it then u'll probably like these books aswell. I also enjoy reading this genre 2!!

Try Band Of Brothers by Stephen E Ambrose or Black Hawk Down by Mark Bowden. Cracking stories of self sacrifice for colleagues and country.
All the more frightening because they are absolutely true.

This aint real-life but I enjoyde a series of books like Disco2000. They were called stories for the rave generation and that 1 in particular had lots of short stories in. It pays to vary your reading material from time to time, I do and it means that I read all different types, fiction & non-fiction alike!

One of the best books i have ever ead is an old one
it is
The Moonstone
by Wilkie Collins
It is kind of a who-dunnit but the way it is written will leave you guessing about what is going on the whole way through.
It is hard to explain but truthfully it is a fantastic read.

If you haven't read it, I would highly recommend the Dice Man by Luke Rhinehart. It was written in the late 60's but is still and excellent read, it's all about real life experiences!
Few books can change your life, this one will!

Bravo Two Zero by Andy Mcnab.
Although it is about the failed SAS mission in the first Gulf War it is a tale of pain,anger and joy. A very good read.
