Whimsically Equine (Tim the Tiny Horse - Harry Hill) Advantages: funny and gentle Disadvantages: slight ...make an attempt at reviewing Tim as a stand-alone. I am happy to say that it acquits itself well. Tim is a horse, blue and so tiny that he lives in matchbox with a tic-tac box for a conservatory. A single Hoola-Hoop makes his lunch (he prefers barbecue beef flavour) and a fly (called Fly) is his best friend. Tim doesn't do much - apart from a few not very successful attempts at making it big in the media he seems to spend his days watching television ... ...necessary for enjoyment. For example, Tim has a bit of obsession with a newsreader called Anna Ford: I don't have a television so I am not familiar with Ms Ford (I checked and she's real and not a character in Tim's milieu), but I can still appreciate Tim's heartache. There is a wealth of astute observations of our modern lives in Tim's adventures and some of them brought tears of recognition to my eyes. I particularly enjoyed Tim's foray into the ... magdadh 20.05.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Tim the Tiny Horse - Harry Hill	Would you read it again?

cest magnafique! Advantages: apocalyptic in its vision Disadvantages: loses itslef at times ...he stays way ahead of the chasing field in relation to illustrating modern philisophy, albeit with his usual sprinkling of controversial sentiments for this world he almost despises, whilst embracing. The poet in him bellows at us, the rapper sometimes whispers his demands, the philosopher is omnipresent and all linked with ease by the supreme yet uncompromisng novellist. Msr Michel demands we listen and learn, and we do, as we have no option. He ... ...fiction. Throw in the odd relationship issue and the enduring questions about the meaning of life and you realise, this is Houllebcq doing what he does best! and with consumate ease. You can almost imagine his furrowed brow as he types each page, the mischievious grin as he stimulates in us what we dont like, yet want to love. He finds it too easy fear! This maybe his last. If so, read and read again. The earlier 'stumbling' of "Lanzarote" are history, ... clivelillie 30.08.2008 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of The Possibility of an Island - Michel Houellebecq	Would you read it again?

Welcome To A Dark Future Advantages: Long and complex – and only the first part of the trilogy Disadvantages: Long and complex – and only the first part of the trilogy ...would be impossible to compress the contents of its 1,221 pages into two hours, and still tell a coherent story. Remember what happened with "Dune"? The Reality Dysfunction is the first part of a space opera on the grandest possible scale. Peter F. Hamilton shows the same careful thought and consideration of consequence that was evident in his debut novel, "Mindstar Rising", only this time he has extrapolated all the way out to the beginning of ... ...the effects of global warming; great storms torture the surface, and Man lives under protective domes that cover whole cities, linked by a rapid transit system that can cross the Atlantic in 45 minutes. But Earth is not the setting for the first part of the "Night's Dawn" trilogy, merely the psychological background. The main plot follows the events that unfold on Lalonde, a recently opened colony world orbiting a far distant star. One of Hamilton's ...

You don't really wanna put this book down! Advantages: Fast moving, well explained. Disadvantages: It finished!!! ...Anita's struggle with beasties and the struggle she is having inside her heart. Richard or Jean-Claude? There are some great new characters in this book including some interesting were-creatures. One thing I liked was the fact that you read more about the were-rats led by Raphael (previously only seen in the first book). Anita is called out to a murder scene in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by snow and ice, where Dolph and Zerbowski are having ... ...This book explores the hierachy in the were-wolf pack and the competition between Richard and Marcus (the current alpha male) and the slightly disturbed Raina (alpha female). Anita, once again, finds herself in the firing line between Jean-Claude and another one of his admirers. She has to make a decision but we don't get to know the outcome in this book. I think this book was fantastic. The characters are well described and the story kept me glued ... stargazing_otter 12.10.2006 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of The Lunatic Cafe - Laurell K.

It is not just about football! Advantages: It's very funny, and oh so true! Disadvantages: None The Disc, for those who don't know, continues to float in space, supported by the elephants who ride the back of the great swimming turtle A'tuin. The Hub about which the planet spins is a centre of great magic, and best avoided if you want to live a happy and contented life. At the outer perimeter is the great circle sea which unendingly streams over the rim into the void, which is best avoided if you want to continue to live at all. Most Discians ... ...Smeems, for instance, is the Candle Nave at the Unseen University. He has to worry about keeping the candles not just alight, but properly melted, artistically, gothicly, dribbled, as it were. Of course, there's Trevor to help. And there's Nutt. With two t's. Trevor Likely has a tendency to skive off work whenever possible, and to kick a tin can around. His dad was a legend. Nutt is… well, no-one's quite sure what Nutt is, even him.
