I loved this book... Fantastic photos galore as I had expected, but this book is far more than a glossy picture gallery. It gives a brilliant insight into Kate's universally admired and coveted personal style and sheds some light on the key players whose influence has helped to shape Kate Moss as a world style icon.
`Kate Moss: Style' is thoroughly researched, readable and inspirational. Buy this book!

Knowing very little about John Barrowman other than his work in Doctor Who and Torchwood, this helped me learn much more about him and his life. I had no idea that he was so cheeky! He really has had an extraordinary life, and he recalls it in such an entertaining fashion. I laughed a lot while reading this. And though it concentrates a LOT on musical theatre - which I know zilch about - it didn't matter. It was entertaining anyway. Too short, though.

This is a really splendid book and the recipes tried so far have been great. The recipes are straightforward to follow, with interesting and well-judged flavour combinations turning out restaurant quality food that's hearty and deeply delicious. I prefer books by cooks instead of TV chefs generally - the latter don't often create anything I would want to cook and I feel let down by some books where there is style above substance. Richard Corrigan's book is quite different - this is the stylish fare of oyster bars and gentlemans clubs - but with an Irish twist and some unexpected pairings of flavours, seemingly simple but sooo clever. As an amateur cook & slow cooking fan - the book has inspired me to try new ingredients and techniques - which ... Read More:

Denis Norden may be best known these days as the genial host of "It'll Be Alright On The Night", which was regarded as an annual highlight on ITV for so many years, but his career has been long and distinguished. I always associate him with "Looks Familiar", but others will recognise him as one of the writers of the classic BBC 1950s radio show "Take It From Here" and other entertaining programmes.
This is a delightful book which charmingly ambles through the past seventy years. Variety, the golden age of radio and early television are all recalled in this beautifully written book. Unlike the myriad of celebrity autobiographies being published at the same time, this one is the work of a man who has made a living out of writing as well as ... Read More:

This was fantastically interested, and reflected what a great bunch of very talented men they are - with full on senses of humour, I have had several late nights now as I couldnt put the book down, lying there laughing til tears came out! Especially the bit about meeting the Pope!
Amazing the pressure they were under at times, and even starting young managed to keep their heads.
If they think others believe it is cool to slag off westlife (shame on them) remember the same happened to ABBA and they are still a well respected band also with amazing voices and talent.
WESTLIFE - PLEASE COME BACK TO NEW ZEALAND, & YOUR LATEST SONG SOUNDS FAB!
GOD has blessed you with amazing talent and good looks, all those prayers by your Mothers ... Read More:

The diary of a young girl is a superb book! Recounting the life of Jews in hiding during the second World War. The cramped conditions, the lack of food and the terror that they might be discovered by the Nazis, is seen through the eyes of Anne Frank. This book is the best diary I have read. It is absolutely amazing.

This book surprised me. It was a Christmas present and its taken this long for me to open it, but I'm very glad I did. I must admit before I read it I thought Ranulph Feinnes was a bit of a nutter. I still do. But there's more to him than that.
I think this book is about love, failure and doing and not thinking! He doesn't talk about his first wife, Ginny, much. He uses far more words describing how he wedged his hands in various crannies, or tried to get the blood flowing back through them once they were frozen. But he speaks so poignantly about her it's touching. More so because he doesn't wallow in sentimentality.
He failed a lot. There's a temptation to think about him as the bloke who trekked on his own to the North Pole or more recently ... Read More:

This is a very welcome return to the Yorkshire Dales and the people - both young and old - who inhabit them. This book is imbued with the love, laughter, hardship, tears and honesty that his previous books have been filled with.
"Mester Phinn" is a very good story-teller and has an easy style about his writing. The love he has for the people and places he writes about is thee for all to see. The characters and characterisations are as colourful and fulsome as in his previous outings.
This book is a wonderful way to spend a pleasant few hours after a hard day at work, or just a good book to become lost in at any time of the day.
The ending has the feeling of the last in the series, although there are one or two 'loose ends' that could ... Read More:
