Firstly, I should state that I haven't read the accompanying book so can only comment on how effective this excercise was for me. The claim is that by completing the journal every day you will change your relationship with food and that will ultimately make you thin but of course we all know is that eating less and excercising more will make you thin not reading a book so whats this guys silver bullet.
The point is I think that part of loosing weight is about determing the reasons why you are doing it and making sure that you can sustain that weight loss. My doctor told me that less than 10% of people who loose weight keep it off so its true that the long term solution is as important as the hunger pangs and gym time. The two ... Read More:

This book is worth reading because it helps you see the world through your toddler's eyes and it has made me think more compassionately towards my son when his behaviour makes me want to run away! I now feel like I want to make more time for my son which is a positive feeling, especially with a new baby in the house taking up so much time. Dr Green is not at all patronising or overly directive as some parenting books are. He makes sensible suggestions based on all of his experiences and I have really felt that this guy knows what he's talking about. The book covers all aspects of parenting a toddler and I find myself nodding away to the scenarios and feelings he describes us parents having. He's got an entertaining way of writing which actually ... Read More:

this book is fantastic, my and husband and I found out very quickly that controlled crying was not an option with our 8 month old baby as she would simply vomit 2 or 3 times if we left her to 'cry it out', and for me, personally c/crying is not fair on a small baby who's only means of communication if she is upset, terrified or in pain is crying. This book helps you to teach your baby to sleep peacefully without crying and really does work!! it is a gentle approach which does require some patience (but belive me it IS definately worth it) and my daughter now goes down at night in her cot awake and puts herself to sleep!! this only took a matter of days! i only wish i had had this book right from the start and will be using the 0-3 month old techniques ...

Just as all other Gina books this one follows on fantastically from the Contented Baby book. Just as you start to worry about the toddler years here is the book with all the answers to keep you calm and confident. Very helpful book that Im constantly referring to for different stages of my sons development, filled with loads of advise and tips. My son is a happy confident toddler with a happy contented family around him, what more could you ask for!
I read the reviews and decided to buy the book based on the high proportion of 5* ratings. I was not disappointed!
The book is the size of an average paperback, has a protective clear plastic sleeve, glossy pages, stunning photographs & great summaries on key facts of interest about each bird - definitely the best £7.99 I've spent in a long time!

As many have said in these pages, he does not reveal all, but what he does reveal is enough to start the ball rolling and get you thinking in ways that you woud not have done.
Of course he will not give everything away, that would spoilt it for us all (although I would really like to know how he does these things!).
The book itself is a strange mixture - some techniques are described which would be unique to understand fully and frankly could easy have a chapter each.
On the other hand, some of the most important aspects are given attention for only a bliking of the eye - enough ti tease but not to tell all.
I am really interested in the Mitford Sisters so I have been really looking forward to getting this book. It was much bigger than I expected but was very enjoyable. I admit that I got a bit bored with all the footnotes and about half-way through just started to ignore them unless I was really confused. Through the letters you get to see life from their many different perspectives, it really made me think of the relationship that I have with my own sister and the many times that we have seen the same situation in very different ways. I would recommend this book to people even if they are not a fan of the Mitfords- it gives a really good insight into that period of history.

This book was passed to me by my Mum who claimed that it was "un-put-downable". I read the book in a matter of hours and must say it is one of the best books I have picked up in a long time. I have never read Peter James before but am now halfway through the second book. In this book, Michael Harrison is left in a life or death situation after four of his friends wind up dead after a Stag night prank gone wrong. The lead detective Roy Grace is a fantastic character and I think he is my new lead hero. Cannot reccomend this book highly enough. The book was fresh and new and the story line gripping and a complete page turner. Peter James has me hook line and sinker.

Having come late to the table for Dragon's Den fodder, I was intrigued by Duncan Bannatyne in particular. To me, initially he came across as an arrogant buffoon but I saw a TV programme dedicated to Bannatyne and it really changed my opinion of him. This book is quite simply one of the best autobiographies I have read. His tale is inspiring, honest and as other reviewers have commented, it is very moving. It is not often in life that we read about remarkable characters but Bannatyne is one of those. Not only is he a successful businessman and entre-preneur but he is a sensitive and caring man, who devotes a lot of his own time and monies to Romanian orphanages and Unicef. I'll never meet the man unfortunately but having read this book, I feel as if I know him. An excellent read.
