Review of Mr Nice - Howard Marks

Story of A Dream

Advantages: Interesting , Honest
Disadvantages: None!

Leona Lewis is probably my favourite singer. To me , she stands out from the rest because she is real ; she is a 'popstar' because she has the voice , and not just the looks like some artists who are good looking but can't sing! I am really excited , because yesterday , I booked tickets to see Leona on her tour next year! I cannot wait. Leona Louise Lewis was born on April 3rd 1985 (she is currently twenty four years old) in Islington , London. ...

Review of Leona: Dreams - Leona Lewis, Dean Freeman

High and mighty

Advantages: Fascinating look at a man whose achievements are little remembered
Disadvantages: Perhaps not the most inviting or 'nice' subject for a book (but life's not always nice!)

Sometimes, the title of a book is so uninviting at first glance that you are compelled to investigate further. Such is the case with this work, a biography-cum-history of a man who was rightly feted as one of the great benefactors of his age but has since been almost forgotten. Born in London in 1819 of French extraction, Joseph Bazalgette was not only one of London's greatest builders, but his engineering and sanitation schemes are said by some ...
...than either. In the mid-19th century, two million people were pouring their sewage directly into the river, where it was carried to and fro by the tides. Crunch time came in the sweltering summer of 1858, when 'the Great Stink', as it was called by The Times, drove Members of Parliament from the chamber of the House of Commons. As Chief Engineer to the Metropolitan Board of Works, London's first metropolitan government, from 1856 to 1889, Bazalgette ...

Review of The Great Stink of London - Stephen Halliday

The End of the Piers Show?

Advantages: We vote for the politicians who will do our dirty work
Disadvantages: Most left book in hotel rooms.

Piers Morgan, like the ridiculous ‘Jordan’, is one of our most iconic and inflated tabloid tits, ridiculed not only for the way he ran the News of the World and the Daily Mirror but for the weasel he appears to be, an essential requirement to run a British tabloid it seems, men that puke up what they write after ten pints. So why would anyone want to read a book about his life running those tabloids? Well the answer, of course, is access. This is ...
...pretty much anyone else’s in the Labor party, a close alliance with the paper formed many decades ago. He was there from day one when Blair came in to number ten and also covered the sad Princess Diana decline and 911, two of the biggest stories of the second half of the twentieth century, and Morgan intimate with many of those bigger events in the lest decade. You may not like the guy but he was there at the heart of it when it happened and so that ...
