|summary=That loveable rogue, the Artful Dodger, is one of the most memorable and amusing characters in all of English literature. ''Oliver Twist'' ended with Dodger Jack Dawkins arrested for the theft of a silver snuff box and transported to Australia. But what happened next? James Benmore explores that idea in ''Dodger'', which takes up the story six years after the events of ''Oliver Twist''.

|author=Mohsin Hamid
|title=How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia
|rating=4.5
|genre=General Fiction
|summary=Inside Mohsin Hamid's ''How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia'' is a bitter-sweet love story disguised as a self help book. It's a well structured concept and works nicely. Each chapter is presented in the format of those common to the self help genre, with advice like 'Move to the City', 'Get an Education' etc., although the chapter entitled 'Be Prepared to Use Violence' is a notable omission from most business tomes and self help books. After some general chatty comments in the self help book style, the attention turns to two people who are named only 'the boy' and 'the pretty girl', charting their rise and fall from rural poverty in an unnamed Asian country (although it certainly feels like Pakistan) to business success and wealth in the city. The two are not a couple, but their lives cross at frequent times and he, in particular, remains infatuated with his childhood acquaintance.
