GOING OUT FOR COCKTAILS

Advantages: very readable
Disadvantages: none

...This was the first book that I read by Madeline Wickham who is also Sophie Kinsella. I had read all the books under Sophie first of all, and since she is 1 of my favourite authors then I sought to read all the ones under this name. To be honest I didn't find them to be as good as the Sophie ones, but this could be since I am a fan of the Shopaholic books as that is my style of book. This book is about 3 women who work together (perhaps that is why there is Cocktails for 3). The women work on a magazine and they meet up once a month outside of work to go for Cocktails and have a bit of a gossip outside of work. A little bit about the characters. Roxanne is the travel writer in the magazine. She gets to jet off to locations in order to review them. The man she is seeing is married to another woman but this doesn't seem to bother...

Review of Cocktails for Three - Madeleine Wickham

Cocktails & Dreams (Cocktail dvd)

Advantages: Great entertaining 80s film
Disadvantages: Flimsy plot at times

...~~~Cocktail~~~ I have to admit I love quite a few films from the 80's, probably the ones that some people think are a little bit cheesy. But I think most of them are very easy to watch with loveable characters and great soundtrack. Cocktail is one of these films that falls into this list. Released in 1988, Cocktail was thankfully not the film Tom Cruise needed to boost his career after he had already starred in Top Gun and The Colour of Money amongst others. What I love about Cocktail is purely the fact that its very entertaining and I never get bored when I sit down and watch it. Whereas the only downside is the highly predictable plot that is a bit flimsy at points. Basically Cruise (Brian Flanagan) is an ambitious young man who heads to the New York City to get an education in business management. To make ends meet he finds a job...

Review of Cocktail (DVD)

Cocktails for Three

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...For a long time I have been reading books by Sophie Kinsella. I found her style of writing to be really good and the stories she writes are very well written and I really enjoy her books. I discovered recently that she has released some books under her original name Madeleine Wickham and when I saw one in Asda I was really keen to see how good it was. This book, Cocktails for Three, is about three friends who meet up on the first of the month each month at a cocktail bar for a really good gossip and catch up. The characters are called Roxanne, Maggie & Candice who all have something going on in their lives. Roxanne has a secret lover who she really wants to tell her friends about him but cant as he is married and secretly she wants him to leave his wife for her but will never tell that to him. Maggie is an editor of a magazine but is...
