The SAS is not something that the average Australian knows a lot about. With its stringent qualifying texts and regimes, followed by a career of fast-paced adrenaline pumping incidents, this small elite group assume a form of mythical status. Their role has become even more pertinent in the post 9/11 world, with a need for security and intellegence of the highest calibre. JACQUELINE BEACH interviews author Ian McPhedran about his latest book Soldiers Without Borders and the real Australian SAS soldiers behind it.

Hands down, Temperance Brennan wins the award for the hardest working fictional character I've ever encountered. Ever. Seriously, every time I cracked open Devil Bones to see how she was doing with the case, there she was whizzing around in every direction, solving this clue, piecing together that, ruling out the suspicion of such and such; the cumulative effect was that I couldn't read a single passage without perfect Miss Temperance putting me on a massive guilt trip for having the audacity to lie around and read! Of all things! A review by DAWN DAWSON.

Graffitied within these toilet cubicles are declarations made by the Twilight infected, many claiming ownership of a so-called Edward Cullen. AMY HUYNH checks out whether Breaking Dawn is good enough to hit these toilet walls.

We all get bored of our day-jobs, but when Matthew Thompson got sick of life as a reporter, he quit his job and bought a one-way ticket to the most dangerous country in South America. The result? Boxing with paramilitaries, running with bulls, a journey into death itself and one hell of a book. Jacqui Dent writes.

When I first saw My Life and Other Catastrophes advertised in the July edition of Girlfiend, I just thought it was some silly novel about teenage problems like partying too hard and boyfriends, but when I finally read the blurb on the back of the book, I found it a lot more interesing than what I thought it was.

I can't tell you how much I love this girl. We've known each other a long time. We were the same age at first but then time became elastic. There were things I had to do. I left her pressed in a book for some time, taking quick glances into her world when the mood compelled me. By DAWN DAWSON.
