A mastery in historical biography Advantages: Imformative, authorative, masterpeice Disadvantages: Doesn't cover all of her life ...picture of the events that Elizabeth went through which shaped the person that she was. From an abused child, called a heretic, traitor and disinherited, Starkey clearly shows using original documents how the political, religious and consitutional trials of England shaped Elizabeth into the formiddable monarch she ultimately proved to be. Starkey examines Elizabeth in contrast to her sister Mary, and thus we gain an insight into 2 of the daughters ...

Sharon Osbourne - Extreme Advantages: A thoroughly enjoyable read. Disadvantages: None. I wasn't a huge fan of Sharon Osbourne, I liked her, but didn't think enough so to read her autobiography. I was very wrong. The book is well written, fluid, humourous and thoroughly readable. Sharon Osbourne shocks with tales of falings out and dalliances with not only her family, but with well know celebrities too. There are several photos in the book too for readers to reflect on the Golden days of Ozzie! Sharon writes in a frank, honest and ... ...the book down so don't be suprised if you finish it all in one or two sittings. The book is not all jokes and shocking tales..it also touches the heart with very honest revelations from Sharon about the heartbreak she has been through, right from before she even met Ozzy. This book talks about her terrible relationship with her father, the Black Sabbath days, her music managing career, her battle with cancer and her daughter aimee, who stays out ... amy_hartwell1234 04.12.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Extreme - Sharon Osbourne	Degree of Information How easy was it to read...

EVERY SECOND COUNTS. VIVE LE LANCE! Advantages: INSPIRATIONAL. SOMEWHAT EDUCATIONAL ABOUT CANCER AND IT'S TREATMENT. EASY TO READ. Disadvantages: SKIRTS AROUND THE MOST PERSONAL OF ISSUES I bought "Every Second Counts" from Play.com in paperback form for £6.49 the same day I finshed Armstrong's first autobiography, "It's Not About The Bike." My motivation for reading about Armstrong stems from the fact that I took up recreational cycling 15 months ago, not realising the true complexities and difficulty of the sport. I wanted to know what drove a man to rise from what some doctors privately thought was his deathbed to go on and put ... ...France. Not only that, but to win it an unparalled 7 times (straight). This book covers the period between his second and fifth victories. In my opinion, this book covers a lot of old ground for those that have read his first book. However, this is understandable as it was the events surrounding his 1996 cancer diagnosis and his subsequent recovery which have shaped his personal and professional life since. As the title suggests, the near death experience ... cadds8 03.09.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Every Second Counts - Lance Armstrong	Degree of Information How easy was it to read...

We then move on to Richard who again tells us about how he is feeling about winning so many awards for a film which he put everything into making and nearly lost him everything during so. Richard then takes us back to his childhood. He grew up with his brother and one sister in a very formal way as his father was the headmaster at a very posh school.

Enter the Dragon - Theo Paphitis - Life Story Advantages: Easy to read and amusing Disadvantages: Some may find the financial aspects of the story difficult to follow Great Book, Easy to read and inspirational I am a keen follower of the tv show Dragons Den on BBC and was excited when I found out Theo had released a book as I had already read Duncan Bannatynes book and found that excellent. Like Duncan, Theo came from a humble background and moved to the uk when he was very young. He tells his rags to riches story very well and keeps you reading with his unique character and sense of humour. I also found inspiration ... ...useful and applicable to my own business. It comes across that he is not only a great salesperson but a exceptional numbers person as well. Something that I can't emulate myself but it does highlight the importance of it in business as you would imagine. I won't go into detail about the story so not to ruin your experience in reading it but if you like Dragons Den and Theo you will enjoy this book alot. ... aliwhiteley 29.12.2008 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Enter the Dragon - Theo Paphitis	Degree of Information How easy was it to read...
