Review of Leonardo Da Vinci

Sheer Abandon

Advantages: A book with everything you want, and one you will enjoy reading again
Disadvantages: Don't pick this up if you are in a rush, hard to put down.

This book was gripping from beginning to end. Totally enthralling reading, once you pick it up you find it hard to put it down. A book of suspense that keeps you wondering from the first page to the last. This author goes from strength to strength and just leaves the reader wanting more. You feel you can relate to the characters in her book and go along the roller coaster ride with them. All in all, an excellent book which I couldn't put down. From ...

Review of Penny Vincenzi

They might be Scientists

Advantages: Excellent news articles
Disadvantages: Only for people interested in science news

Overview New Scientist is a science news base magazine, published weekly and available throughout the UK. I've had a subscription to New Scientist for the past 12 months. I'm not a scientist, but I do have a keen interest in keeping informed. Anyone concerned that that a science magazine would go completely over their head can alleviate those concerns.

Review of New Scientist

Walter de la mare - the listners !!

Advantages: no matter how many times you read it you will still not know excatly what it is about.
Disadvantages: I really dont no!

...have not read alot of Walter de la Mares work. But I have read the listeners which is a poem. Depending on how you read this poem the plot changes. If you read it literally then it is about a traveller that has arranged to go to somebodies house but no-one is there only a host of phantoms. But if you read it metaphorically then it could be about some one looking for an afterlife or a god etc. Whichever way you read it I can almost guarantee you will ...

Review of Walter De La Mare

Jamie and his magic pork

Advantages: Likeable lad
Disadvantages: Pseudo working - class thing

I'm back in love with Jamie Oliver! We kind of fell out over 'Jamie's Ministry of Food', the TV series tackling obesity in Rotherham, mostly spent patronising fat working-class people in a Northern town because they preferred their chips over tapas, a rather cheap shot from Britain's favourite chef. I'm sure he didn't mean it that way but the people that put the show together probably did. The whole exercise, at the time, seemed less about helping ...
...enjoyable cooking series in America, Jamie back on form and how we like him.. Oliver likes to act working-class but he's middle-class Essex (if that's possible), kin to a mum and dad who ran a nice cosy country pub near Chelmsford, sending Jamie off to catering college so he could dish up tastier recipes than his old man when he inherited the pub. But it was not to be and Jamie (whose dozy look often makes you think he's in a coma, that bit of dribble ...
