Again, Iggulden blends fact and fiction in a seamless and gripping combination. He puts the known facts together with fiction based on historical knowledge to fill in a time when we know little about our hero Julius Caeser. I recommend this series to all my friends, and not a single bad comment amongst them, a must have for the bookshelf

My question is, does "All in the Mind" live up to the sensitivity and insight shown in the documentary "Cracking Up"?
"All in the Mind" is a novel about a psychiatrist and six patients, whose lives interweave with his own. Like all first novels, it owes a lot to autobiography. Alistair Campbell's own interest in psychiatry stems from his experiences openly and frankly described in "Cracking Up". The central character, Professor Sturrock is a likeable character who cares more about his patients lives than his personal life, for which he pays the unavoidable price. The Professor has a humanistic approach to psychiatry rather than the "Give them drugs and see if they need sectioning" of modern NHS psychiatric service. As ... Read More: >>More Details |

I couldn't wait to get my hands on this one, but when i did... i wasn't satisfied.
This book isn't bad at all, and if you are a neil-fan, by all means read it. But, this book just wasn't as inventive, as surprising, touching or original. the concept is great... the excecution.. not that great. There is nothing new, and i felt that i'd seen all the tricks before. (Strangely, the book read as a script. i could just see the film sequences in my head.) Also having read M is for Magic, i was already familiar with a great deal of the story. i almost skipped that part, but forced myself to read it again. I sometimes thought: this is a real children's book, don't be so critical, but then characters such as victor hugo and the ... Read More: >>More Details |

Sometimes when I have read a novel and turn to reviewing it I find comments difficult to come by. Sometimes my head is so full of thoughts that it is difficult to know where to start. This book comes into the latter category.
It is a very strange, almost surreal work of fiction based on fact. Ultimately a ghost story surrounding a master race style selection process undertaken in Vermont in the 1930s, it is a complex and at times difficult to understand novel. To start with the book is divided into three sections - the first and third take place in 2001 but the middle section, which goes a long way to explaining what is happening in the other two, is set in 1931. This does lead to some confusion. At times it's difficult to realise just ... Read More: >>More Details |

The Picture of Dorian Gray (Penguin Popular Classics)by: Oscar Wilde January 25, 2007 Best Selling > Books > Fiction |

|
By now, most people are aware of the basic plot of this book: young man foolishly wishes that, upon seeing his current beateous youth captured forever in a picture, he could remain in that moment of youth forever, and the picture age in his stead. Not only that, but the picture becomes twisted and cruel as a result of the callous hedonistic behaviour perpetrated by Gray in his perpetual youth. At first, Gray is horrified, but then finds himself submitting to it...
The Picture of Dorian Gray is a fantastic novel, so fantastic that it made me sad that the eminently quoteable Wilde has only written the one. At one point, a bad-influencing friend of Dorian's lends him a novel that Gray is charmed by, a novel that tells of a man who lives a hedonistic lifestyle, ... Read More: >>More Details |

This is probably the most fictional of the series, as this sets the story of our hero from a young boy. As usual Iggulden blends fact and fiction together in such a way that you dont know which is which to create a real page turner of a book, and in the same time giving you an insite into life 2,000 years ago as if it was today

I've loved 44 scotland street more than any other McCallSmith books but ... After reading that latest/last volume I wondered whether McCallSmith had really written it. Yes, it has some the spirit of the previous books, yet it is totally different. Less witty, less ... something. This one definetly doesn't have it.
There is a huge gap between that volume and the previous (or have I missed something?) and the characters are totally out of character. They're becoming heavy and unreal, which is rather weird for a McCallSmith book. Of course it is well written (hence the 3*), it still has some and some fantastics chapters (and some very long ones), but something's gone. Maybe it's me... However I've discussed it with another fan of McCallSmith and she too tought ... Read More: >>More Details |

Our Hero Uhtred just as he thinks things are settling down, he gets some new enemies to fight.... well it wouldn't be a Cornwell without would it? He is stuck fighting for the Saxons and their King Alfred, of which he has no love, and against the Danes who he has an affinity to. Not suprisingly this gives him problems just about every where he turns. This first person narrative style is different to the other Cornwell series and is a nice change. This is not the strongest in the series, but still excellent. well researched, gripping historical fiction from the master Bernard Cornwell! Only problem is I dont know when the next book is due.......
