Review of The Student Cookbook - Hamlyn

If Jillian tells you to jump - you say "how high"

Advantages: comprehensive, straigh to the point, easy and enjoyable to read
Disadvantages: it takes some real dedication to follow the full 30 day plan

Lets face it - if you've seen Jillian on 'The Biggest Loser' you will know how tough she is. She shouts and screams and basically beats the crap out of those contestants - but lets face it - it works! I would sell my soul for a week in the biggest loser house - I think a week with Jillian would actually get me to my goal weight! She really knows what she is on about and this book must be the next best thing to actually having Jillian with you kicking ...

An Intriguing and Fascinating Book About Angels.

Advantages: Wonderful, amazing, interesting book
Disadvantages: None

...like you would think an angel to be from what you will have read in stories either. There was no wings or halo just a glow behind him. I will never forget seeing him and i believe he was a angel and after reading this book i am even more convinced because others have had similar experiences. After that experience i have had even worse times but knowing what i seen then and remembering how i felt at that point gives me a feeling that things will be ...

Review of Angel Visions - Doreen Virtue

The quiz book that'll get you drunk with information.

Advantages: Over 17,000 questions divided into over 500 quizzes covering many topics and difficulty levels.
Disadvantages: Annoying looking for the answers. Some of the easy questions are a bit too difficult.

...It's eye-catching title of being the biggest pub quiz book ever helped my decision to buy the book. With over a staggering 17,000 questions contained within it, it is possibly the only resource a quizmaster will ever need. The price was also a determining factor, at around £10 (which equates to an impressive 17 questions for every penny). The cover is informal and represents the front of a beer tap in a pub, with the title written across it in the ...
...This informal tone continues throughout the book, and makes reading and sourcing from the book more entertaining. The book is split into 3 difficulty levels (easy, medium and hard), and before each is a short, humorous explanation of what to expect in each section. Within these seconds there are loads of quizzes, all divided into semi-specific subjects of 30 questions each. For example, the subject of entertainment would be split into a quiz on gameshows, ...
