I have no idea how Elisabeth survived 24 years underground, it's amazing really. Something terrible must have happened to Fritzl in his lifetime for him to so such a thing, what a sick individual.
The book is great, definitely worth reading, gives some good background and helps understand where this all came from and how he got away with it for so long. Surely this will teach people to be more observant and take action when suspicious of abuse taking place. I just hope now that Elisabeth and her family are able to make the most of their lives now they have their freedom. >>More Details |

Tony Hancock: The Definitive Biographyby: John Fisher October 01, 2008 Best Selling > Books > Biography |

This isn't the first account of Tony Hancock's life. Variously his agent/wife Freddie, Hattie Jacques and Kenneth Williams among others have covered his story to one degree or another. The previous "full" account - When the Wind Changed - concentrated more on the scurrilous allegations of Tony's life -but, as John Fisher effectively says in hs preface here, you need to take some of that with a pinch of salt.
I guess we're not likely to have a more definitive biography than this one looking at the wealth of contributions to it. Fisher clearly knows his British comedy, as he pompously keeps telling us, but you are left with a very clear idea of where Hancock's humour came from, the contribution he made and the footprint he left.

The enthusiasm for life that Jean-Dominique Bauby demonstrated in the whole book was amazing. And it was not for a matter of faiths or beliefs, but for a simple and pure love of life and everything that's part of it. Like the way he makes up recipes and tastes in his mind, or he listen to soft voices in his head that he calls butterflies. And even the way he classifies and changes the whole world around him, making it more exciting and new even if at the same time he is perfectly aware of his situation and of the way this makes his relatives and friends feel. He perfectly knows that they don't know anything about what's still inside this man that they see, who is so different from the one they knew before. He knows that his kids treat him different, ...

this book,written by a die hard liverpool fan and now media writer for the daily mirror is a truly great read...despite being "in the media" the fact he talks about being just a down to earth liverpool fan is very refreshing..no airs and graces,and just like every liverpool fan (myself included!!) hes a ordinary bloke telling his story of following THEE greatest team on earth....from his 1st game at bolton,his mothers death,his son supporting everton!! (to begin with until he saw the light!!) the great games and the fact that he fell foul of graeme souness i couldnt leave this book down...truly great read!!!!

Upon finishing this magnificent piece of work, my mind was curiously turned to another book by an African writer which I also read this year and which has the word "sun" in its title. I remembered the haunting novel by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie "Half of a Yellow Sun". While the latter is a fictionalised account of events taking place in her native Nigeria well before she was old enough to know about them (the Biafra war), "When a Crocodile Eats the Sun" is a harrowing personal journey through Zimbabwe, a country sliding, nay, hurtling down an abyss of a dictator's own making. Both books have the same powerful message: glittering hope can so easily be extinguished and replaced by utter despair.
Godwin, who has made a life for himself and his family ... Read More: >>More Details |

Screw it, Let's Do it: Lessons in Life (Quick Reads)by: Sir Richard Branson March 02, 2006 Best Selling > Books > Biography |
||
|
As someone keen to learn from entrepreneurs I didn't find this book useful; it is too brief and lacking in substance to be of any real use in that respect. I like Richard Branson and feel that he surely has much more insight to offer than is contained within this short book, so I will probably buy his full autobiography.

Lorraine Kelly, the cheerful face on your breakfast TV screen has penned an autobiography of her varied career since joining her local paper as a cub reporter in the 1970s. It zips along at a fair pace and the narrative is so well written, it often feels as if you're snuggled up to Lorraine on the GMTV sofa and she's reciting a series of anecdotes to you. I did find a couple of the chapters rather heavy-going for a `celeb' autobiography, as they dealt with the Lockerbie disaster and the Dunblane shooting with empathy and insight, although I found the latter impossible to read without dissolving into tears, so I gave it a miss.
Lorraine's celebrity gossip about various guests is entertaining and the heart-warming stories of her happy marriage and family ... Read More: >>More Details |

Call The Midwife: A True Story Of The East End In The 1950sby: Jennifer Worth March 06, 2008 Best Selling > Books > Biography |

This book really made me think how materialistic we are these days. I was born in the 60s - was it really just ten or so years before, that all this was happening? My own mum could have been on those pages, having my older sister. We are very fortunate, in the UK at least,to have the NHS, warts and all. Sadly there are places in the world where women still suffer, just for being female. Thank the lucky stars for those sisters of mercy and the angels, the nurses, who joined them to see the babies into the world. This book has touched me in a way no other has. I feel humbled and decidedly less inclined to grumble over trivialities. Superb book. Reads like a novel too. More from the Worth(y) one!!!!
