fashion. So it's inevitable that recordings she made before she hit it big are starting to come to the fore--case in point, this CD by lyricist, songwriter and guitarist Peter Malick. Malick recorded these tunes with Jones in 2000 (when she was just 21), along with four other singers (Jess Klein, Kirsten Proffit, Antje Duvekot and his daughter Mercy). Stylistically, Malick's music is a radio-friendly blend of country and pop, with just a tinge of jazz, the same kind of genre that launched Jones on her Blue Note debut Come Away with Me. The material is mostly about love, longing and big city life. While all of the singers have basically the same style, the six tracks with Jones stand out. Except for the slow blues number, "All of Your Love" and the organ-fuelled up-tempo rocker "Deceptively Yours," the rest of the guitar-centric music is mid-tempo. And, yes, Jones sounds the same on the quirky "Strange Transmissions" and the Nashville-nuanced "Heart of Mine" as she does now. Kudos to Mr Malick for being in the right place and the right studio at the right time. --Eugene Holley, Jr

Advantages: Long and a bit different Disadvantages: Not for horror fans
...The Talisman was co-written in 1984 with Peter Straub, and is really a fantasy novel. It weighs in at nearly 800 pages so it’s a good one to take on holiday. The story is about 12 year old Jack Sawyer, whose Mam is dying of cancer. He discovers that he can enter a parallel magical world (The Territories), where the flip-side of his mother is also dying. To save them he has to travel from New York to California to find the Talisman, but his evil “Uncle” Morgan Sloat wants control of The Territories and can also flip between worlds. This provides Jack with a dangerous journey. It may sound a bit childish, but I found it fairly enthralling. I prefer Kings forays into non-horror, as I think he has so much more to offer....

What if ? Review ofThe Boy Who Loved Anne Frank - Ellen Feldmanby
fritzthecat
Advantages: Extremely well researched, very gripping story Disadvantages: None
...of idiot) was in real called Fritz Pfeffer.
The story behind the book:
Ellen Feldman is a New York based author. In 1994 she visited the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam.
During this visit a tour guide mentioned that records on the fate of all the inhabitants of the secret annex after their arrest on 04.August 1944 exist, except of Peter van Pels.
Ellen Feldmann was fascinated by the idea that Peter might have survived the Holocaust and decided to write a book about how his life might have turned out.
As soon as she started her research she found out that the tour guide had made a fundamental mistake: There is a dossier at the Dutch Red cross that Peter van Pels had indeed died in Mauthausen concentration camp on the 5th of may 1945, just 3 days before its liberation.
Ellen Feldman, decided that she still wanted to tell the story
and based...

being jordan Review ofBeing Jordan - Katie Priceby
nicensimple2
Advantages: a great insight into the world of jordan Disadvantages: mememememe
...i must start by saying that i was no fan of jordan before reading this book .....
but it was a great read ... i thoroughly enjoyed it.
the language used is a alittle ... how shall i put it??.,,..... riskey at points....
though it really shows a different side to the rebel jordan.
how she rose to fame and the hardship she suffered along the way.
how her first modeling job nearly ended what soon bcame a fantastic career..
of course theres also all the juciy gossip such as ... dwight yorke (jordans version) peter andre, im a celebrity, and the much talked about affair with gareth gates.
the birth of harvey and his illness.
this is a great read and i would recommended it to you all....
