Advantages: Easy to read, eye-opener Disadvantages: Unsatisfactory ending for the discerning reader
If you are reading this expecting to be drawn into an underwater world where man and fish fight it out for supremacy then please read the title again.
The Shack is a New York bestseller that should never have been. Rejected by every publisher it was sent to, William Young turned to family, friends, the internet and word of mouth to get his book read and read and read again. "Speaking to The Times, he said: ?I tried at least a couple of dozen, all major publishers. Very few even responded.? Of those that wrote back, one stock excuse was: no niche for it. Others described it as ?too edgy? or having ?too much Jesus?. (timesonline July 16 2008)

Soap and Glory is one of my favourite beauty ranges. I recently found myself with quite a lot of Boots Advantage points so I decided to treat myself to one of their products as some of their items can be a bit pricey.
