Mills and Boon

Advantages: They are easy to slip in your bag, they are great for relaxing with.
Disadvantages: They can be finished quickly and present no mental challenges.

...reading. I love reading Mills and Boon books as a way to relax. This means that I do not want to have to think too much about where the plot is going. While doing my A levels and my degree I loved delving into a quick romance to take my mind off of more complex problems such as mathematical equations. Mills and Boon books were what kept me sane and very happy. Especially as they cover such a wide range of topics while keeping the same ideas of romance ...
...head. All in all Mills and Boon create some wonderful reads and although story lines can be similar, what human beings desire is similar, so there isn't much of a chance to vary the books. After all a story with happiness, love, success, wealth and health is like a fairy tale and as such will be successful with the readers when told over and over again. Mills and Boon books should not be bought in hope of a challenge or in hope of an extremely ...

Review of Longman

Advantages: Interesting, free, fun, good for children
Disadvantages: You might never visit it!

I went to the Imperial War Museum North in Manchester just to pass a couple of hours while we happened to be in Manchester as we were going to watch Manchester United vs. Aston Villa at Old Trafford (what a great match that was!) On the second floor there are all the various exhibitions are and there are two rooms one for the main exhibition and one for special exhibitions which are not always there. Every hour in the Main Exhibition there is the ...
...the War and there are 3 different shows which last between about 12-20 minutes. These shows are projected onto the walls and there are various sounds and music going on and it really is brilliant! I think that this Museum is really good and is well worth a visit. The museum is nicely laid out and there are some very interesting displays. In the middle of the displays there are various large objects like a Russian tank which was my favourite as it ...
