I'm a little reluctant to admit to watching Top Gear as a guilty pleasure, even though half the time I haven't the foggiest idea what they are talking about! It was on this basis that I bought this James May book, hoping that things would become a little clearer. James May seems like the perfect teacher, a lot less abrasive than Jeremy Clarkson and looking a bit more like a science boffin than Richard Hammond.
I found this book hugely enjoyable. The short articles mean that it is easy to pick up and put down and he covers a range of topics from haunted car parks to how to solve disputes with van drivers and from cup-holders in cars to camper van holidays. There were times when I was still lost. For example; 'The BTCC ... Read More: >>More Details |

I remember Thomas Keneally telling the story of how he came across the Schindler story when 'Schindler's Ark' ('List' in the USA) was first published. Then it won the Booker Prize and eventually, though after a long delay, was filmed by Steven Spielberg. This book covers that territory, from the moment Schindler walked into a Los Angeles bags, briefcases and leather goods shop and thereby met the extraordinary 'Leopold Page', in reality Leopold (or Poldek) Pfefferberg, to the making of the film and its success. The book is partly the story of Keneally's growing involvement in the tale and the search for other Schindlerjuden, the Jews Schindler saved, partly reflections on the Holocaust, the writing of the book, the making of the film and the moral ...

This is a thoroughly enjoyable read from beginning to end, detailing Noddy's exploits - so far!
From his humble beginnings in Mochdre to the breakthrough at Wrexham in January 1972 and the first of his 51 international caps for Wales against West Germany in October 1976, through his spells at Old Trafford, Goodison Park, the Goldstone Ground, the Victoria Ground, Stamford Bridge, The Hawthorns, the Baseball Ground, the Kansas Coliseum, Gay Meadow, Elland Road, the Victoria Ground (again) and back full circle to the Racecourse. He achieved the height of his fame after his wonder goal for Wrexham against Arsenal on the 4th of January 1992 and then, a mere seven days later, he was arrested at his mum's house in Colwyn Bay and ...

I've read many autobiographies of actors, composers, singers, musicians etc., and I've got to say this is one of the best autobiographies I've ever read. I know its been said before, but it is a true rags to riches story. You can't help but feel very proud for him, for what he has achieved, when often behind closed doors there has been real turmoil in this man's life. He could have gone one way or the other, but I truely feel Russell's positive attitude (although tough at times), and cheeky chappy strong personality pulled him through.
Russell's autobiography includes every emotion I can possibly think of (!), and good on him for sticking two fingers up at the "snobs who are classically trained at one of the top musical establishments", who ... Read More: >>More Details |

Brought this book as a present. What a load of rubbish. Normally love Ray Mears books as they are so informative and really interesting to read. This book is full of pictures with a caption next to each photo telling what is going on in the picture. Really dissapointed and will be returning it and buying another.

l have never read a Ballard book,but found this auto-biography very enjoyable.His narrative is simple and direct,yet it delivers with vigour and zest.This is really two books.The first is the real feast for the reader,his growing up in China and all the English snobbery and meanness.Chinese starved to death,in front of the ex-pat communities, and brutally,tortured and killed by the Japanese.The second book is his life in England.An Englishman who had never been to England.His shock at how the arrogance of the ex-pats contrasted that with the listlessness and low quality of life in England.After the initial shock of finding Britain very different to ex-pat nostalgia,the book flattens out into a little more mundane expose of the rest of Ballards life,and it ...

Though far from conventional it is pleasing, after a couple of years with conceptual winners, to have the 2008 Boardman Tasker Award presented to an uncomplicated climbing book telling terrifying tales of epics in the mountains. `Psychovertical' is a welcome addition to the ever expanding legacy of literature left by leading climbers. It is a gripping read with perhaps the only disappointment being its high proportion coverage of aid climbing.
Andy Kirkpatrick covers what is expected in an autobiography, embracing literally his birth in 1971, his deprived childhood, his early climbs initially with more failures than successes, and some of his world class exploits in the Alps and Patagonia, and particularly in Yosemite - all with continuing failures ...

i thought this was a great read...controversial but nevertheless thought-provoking.You may not agree with all the content of it but it does make you think about what is going on in our cities. I know a few people have read it already so it would be interesting to hear some feedback from you. Get your reviews out there even if you are critical of the book. I am really interested in getting a debate going here.

I started off quite unimpressed with this (because the author really does moan far too much about nothing and every time she runs out of fuel in the middle of nowhere with small children in the back of her car it's ALWAYS ENTIRELY HER OWN FAULT!)...but it grew on me a lot!
It's the autobiography of a reporter who, due to wishes of her husband, agrees to leave London for Northumberland with their children. I could relate to so much of this as I too loved living in London and moving away was a wrench for me. It's the simple things you miss. You miss being able to go shopping at 7pm on a weeknight. You miss being able to pop out and get a coffee and lose yourself in the city. There's an air of anonimity which is inherant to London and I miss that very much. ... Read More: >>More Details |
