Advantages: It'll be quicker than reading Harry Potter Disadvantages: you'll try out some of they're hair brained tricks yourself!
...Have a little read of the plot:
"Have there ever been two more wretched people than Mr. and Mrs. Twit? They're not just horrible, they're extra-specially horrible. Mr. Twit has a beard that houses every bit of moldy food that nearly made it to his mouth. Mrs. Twit has a glass eye which she likes to pop in her husband's beer, saying, "I've got eyes everywhere so you'd better be careful." But Mr. Twit can play tricks on his wife that are just as clever ...

Perfect bedtime story book and truly captivating
Advantages: fantastic storytelling from a true genious Roald Dahl Disadvantages: You have to turn the tapes over to keep listening
...magical amd loving tale of Danny and his father. The audio book consists of two tapes each with two sides and runs for approximately 2 3/4 hours which took me three weeks to listen to at bedtime. The book is read by Timothy West who has got the most amazing voice that brings the story to life. The tape also features music designed to dramatise the events.

"Hop, Skip and Sing Spanish" - learn Spanish with your baby!
Advantages: A good help for parents with poor Spanish to start teaching their children Spanish from young age. Disadvantages: The book is a black and white, soft cover script of the CD - no use for children.
I always wanted to teach my children Spanish from a very young age (even from birth). But my own Spanish leaves much to be desired. That is why I could never start in the right direction until I came across Ana Lomba's books. My older son was 2 years old when I purchased "Hop, Skip, and Sing Spanish." The first excercise from the book was the game when the child has to "walk... walk fast... walk slowly... run... jump... jump very high" all in Spanish ... ...(I was doing the exercise with him and it was very fun). After that we were eager to learn some other action songs and finger games in the book. Ana Lomba selected some rhymes and songs from the Spanish folklore, translated some of the English ones and also wrote some of her own and organised them in the order to build up children's vocabulary and practice over and over the words in different situations.
The CD is brilliant even for babies. There ...

THe Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown

The Da Vinci code was released in 2003.It was written by Dan Brown and was an international bestseller.The book has sold 80 million copies as of 2009 and has been translated into 44 language. Most people, I know me included always thought this was his first novel. However, his first novel was actually Angels and Demons which ... ...to put down. Of course, the subject matter is very controversial and although it is meant to be somewhat fictional I can see elements of truth in it. The basic story features Robert Langdon, a professor of Symbology. He is the main character of the book as it's up to him to solve the riddles and ultimately save himself. He is called to the Louvre to examine a body that has died in mysterious circumstances with strange symbols around him. Robert tries ...
