As a story and an idea this is a book that leaves many others trailing in its wake. However, where other books catch up and surpass this one is through the writing itself.
A serial killer with a difference is a novel and original idea yet a difficult one also as there are many roads to be chosen and much to explain. This story moves at varying paces throughout and often leaves a lot of confusion and questioning. Scenes of suspense often take too long to be acted out yet scenes of monotonous unimportance take quite the opposite. Character interaction is below par, even for Dexter himself, who of course needs little and many possible avenues of investigation go overlooked. From this I would also say that the book itself is far too short ... Read More: >>More Details |

This was such a pleasure to read. I always appreciate novels whose authors work hard on evoking a particular setting, and Sansom does this both in terms of the location and the period. It's great to see Shardlake on his home turf, and the pacing of the plot is just superb. An almost perfect piece of storytelling.

This novel is written from the viewpoint of three very different women - the naive yet quick-witted Anne of Cleves, the calculating Jane Boleyn and the greedy and childish Catherine Howard. They take turns by each chapter telling their view of events as they occur over a fairly brief period of time. Anne is set aside by the King in favor of Catherine, and it's the best thing that could have happened to her. She's the only one of the King's wives to survive a parting in a fairly benign (compared to the others) way.
Catherine ignores her revulsion in order to be the new Queen, all so that she can get pretty new dresses and jewels. She is completely and idiotically heedless of the dangers that await her in this vicious court and, even more ... Read More: >>More Details |

This book bounces along, and is a great beach read. The characters are all a bit useless, comical and some intensely unlikeable (apart from the gorgeous Bob) - its a quirky insight into the world of tv.
I loved it. >>More Details |

This will have been the last time I bought a Katie Fforde novel as hardback edition. Its predictable plot was not worth the extra expenditure and the sugary, dove-eyed cover illustration made we want to hide it. It really is a shame, but maybe I'm growing out of books like these.

7 Habits of Highly Effective Peopleby: Stephen R. Covey January 04, 2004 Best Selling > Books > Books |

While working for a previous company, I was sent on this course (which included reading the book). I'm sure the company meant well, but my experience of the "7 Habits of Highly Effective People", was essentially teaching people how to suck eggs.
Stephen R. Covey has made a personal fortune out of selling what most critical thinkers realise for themselves at an early age. His writings are bland and uninteresting, telling us what we already know in a language barely recognisable as English. "Synergize", "leverage", "win-win"; I'm sure you've heard them before. They are all here. Do they mean anything? In my humble opinion - not in the slightest. Steer clear. >>More Details |

I don't care to get into the controversy over whether or not this is part of this food movement or whether it sends the right message... all I wanted to know when I read it was whether Delia presented simple, day-to-day recipes that I could use when I was in a hurry and wanted something nice for the family.
Totally disappointed. Why? -- very simple: I do not need to spend money on a book to tell me to read the back of the packet of pre-packaged foods in the supermarket. I don't have anything against the occassional use of a ready meal or a frozen ingredient, but why would I want to spend money for a batch of recipes that basically tell me nothing more than the information on the packaging tells me: open, pour, stir in a can of...

This book is massive: make sure you have a strong coffee table! It has lots of places you have never heard of in it with really useful ideas why you should go at that time of year. I noticed one error where they put you should go to place X in May but the wrote up was in the Feb section; this only happened once although I have not yet read all of it.

Jeph Loeb has a pretty illustrious history in comics as a writer. In Batman alone, he has written the fantastic Batman: Long Halloween (a key inspiration for Batman Begins) and its follow up Dark Victory, two stupendous stories which suggested he'd strike it lucky a third time too. Right?
Wrong. Somewhere between these two books, Jeph Loeb lost his mojo. This first volume of Hush (and why a 12-issue story needed to be published in two volumes of different sizes when even this same writer's previous stuff wasn't is a mystery) begins a rollercoaster story the ending of which you can see from a mile off. Many of the characters and dialogue styles are identical to those used previously ("no one can resist me" says Poison Ivy. Again.) and the stilted ... Read More: >>More Details |
