the second of Celia Ahern's books about 2 friends and their lives, through marriage, divorce, Children and finding "True Love" this book is hard to follow as written in diary form and jumps around quiet a bit, story line is a little better than the first, but not fantastic (49 words)
| 1 Comment(s)Baseball/Cricket comparative study by Kent/England Cricketer. Enjoyable, and Smith clearly has the journalistic hopes of many a county pro, but I think you need to know not much about baseball to get anything out of this book. Kept me busy for a few hours, but not hugely insightful. (48 words)
| 0 Comment(s)Jack Dee says this is the whingeing memoirs of a snivelling leftie. I'd have to agree. Not much of an insight into years of Thatcherite Britain, or 1980s Labour. At times, the author belies the fact that he wrote for Spitting Image. Pretty boring really, and not that funny. (49 words)
| 0 Comment(s)One of the most interesting and entertaining people in public life deserves a better biography than this. The stories are worth reading but unfortunately the writing style and lame conclusions would embarrass an A-Level student. We can but hope that a superior biography will be forthcoming shortly.

| 0 Comment(s)By Celia Ahern this book follows a womans life after her loosing her husband, although a good idea I wouldn't advise anyone who has been through this to read it. It's unrealistic and like any book has the "Typical" happy ending it shouldnt end this way not a brilliant book. (50 words)
| 0 Comment(s)This is sub-standard airport fodder. The writing was terrible. You increasingly get the impression from his books that they are less a novel and more a set of ideas for a movie or TV show. I suppose I only encourage him by buying the books so I must stop that. (50 words)
| 1 Comment(s)by Dominic Holland. This novel, which looks at the trials of getting a movie script to Hollywood, is more fantastical than fantastic. The coincidences and near misses between characters are more annoying than Clockwise and Planes Trains and Automobiles put together. Only slightly redeemed by the neat ending. (48 words)
