Love Letter to the North of England Advantages: Great prose, funny and warm hearted - like your archetypal northerner Disadvantages: A little smug in places Stuart Maconie is well known these days as a DJ on Radio 2 and a "talking head" on many TV shows which involve lists, such as the 100 best love songs or whatever idea Channel 4 has to fill the schedule cheaply on a Saturday night. He used to write for the ... rosebud2001 22.06.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Pies and Prejudice: In Search of the North - Stuart Maconie	How useful was it?

Hit The North Advantages: A veritable page-turner of a travelogue Disadvantages: Nothing major One does wonder if Stuart Maconie dreams up the titles for his books before he even knows what they'll be about.

The best travel books inspire me and the worst give me plenty of material for writing damning reviews about just how awful they are. I seldom are left unmoved - whether pos ... koshkha 31.10.2010 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of An Idiot Abroad: the Travel Diaries of Karl Pilkington - Karl Pilkington	How useful was it?

The Village Idiot Escaped Advantages: An interesting account into his trips, well written Disadvantages: Gervais and to a lesser extent Stephen Merchant ...As seems to be a bit of a habit with Sky TV programs the promotion for An Idiot Abroad seems to have been just about everywhere. With the TV series showing on sky and the release of the accompanying book by Karl Pilkington detailing his travel diaries fro ...
