Advantages: Clever witty story, Spot on characters
Disadvantages: Some may find the lead character a bit ordinary

...the Patrician did not commit the crime and there is a dastardly plot being hatched by a mysterious dirt bag. But how can The Patrician be innocent when he was clearly seen by three people. Two very suspect characters Mr Tulip and Mr Pin (very reminisant of the two bad guys from pulp fiction played by John Travolta and Samual Jackson) are soon seen wandering around Ankh-Morpork up to no good. Some great interaction involving these two characters. Is there a link between these men and the Patrician? 'The Truth' contains some very clever humour, including one joke that builds up, and delivers a punch line approx 150 pages later when you are not expecting it. There are a few nods contained within the pages, one I think is even to the PSOne game 'Metal Gear Solid'. Those who know this game will know exactly which character I mean. 'The Truth...

Advantages: Thrilling book about a murder in an Amish town
Disadvantages: May be upsetting

...and a white shirt. The ladies arrived in the town in a horse and buggy, I was careful not to photograph them as they don’t believe in taking photographs as that is against what it says in the Bible. These people are God-fearing and live a simple life. They join together to make quilts for which they are famous and the men will “raise a barn” together, they are very sociable within their group. Jodi Picoult has written several books and My sister’s keeper was awarded the Richard and Judy bestseller award. Plain Truth has 448 pages and also an excerpt from My sister's keeper, it costs £6.99 or even less on Amazon £5.29 or under £2 used or look out for it in charity shops, or your local library....

Advantages: Subtle and sensual perfume
Disadvantages: Bottle is tall - may be too large for some handbags

...is tall, slim and elegant. With he Celvein Klein name running down the side of the bottle. It was designed bu perfume bottle designer Lucein Baron. The bottle is nice to hold and fits well into a handbag. Ingredients Top notes: lemon, bergamot, Chinese bamboo Heart notes: peony, white clover, damp woods, lilac, acacia, albizia flowers Base notes: vanilla, white amber, musk, sandal, vetiver Aroma Calvin Klein describes this as a refreshing, oriental, woody fragrance. Personally I feel the perfume is more about the peony and clover elements. Range Truth for women is also available as Truth Body Lotion, Body Oil Spray and Truth Gift set. Truth for men was introduced in 2002. Overall. The perfume is subtle and sensual. Many recommend it more for Romantic occasions but I feel it is appropriate at any time. I wear it daily...

Advantages: its eau de parfum!,sensual, long lasting
Disadvantages: none really, initial price?

...A fragrance can mean different things to different people, it can invorgorate, inspire or enhance your mood... This is what Calvin Klein's latest fragrance did for me; Calvin Klein has at last brought out a NEW fragrance; Truth, that is exclusively for women! This new fragrance has a rich deep woody smell with white amber, vanilla and a musky blend giving it that sensual feel to it that lingers on and on. The instant I tried it my spirits were lifted and I felt a wonderful sensual woody aroma with a sense of mystery about it..I knew straight away it was me! Generally I was not normally attracted to Calvin Klein’s fragrance for women (preferring the men’s fragrances such as Eternity) or the Parisian and Italian perfumes, as opposed to american designer fragrances. But I have to say in this case I have made an exception and really... Read review

Advantages: Funny, Amusing, Entertaining,
Disadvantages: Too short

...with a fascination for flash photography. There are the undead, werewolves and Igor's (servant types who are good at limb stitching) working as lawyers and police men. Did I mention a talking dog, and dwarves and people with interesting shaped vegetables. If you are a Pratchett fan and read his books Im sure you will not be dissapointed. I can't assure you that its the "best" Terry Pratchett book but I can re-assure you it is a well written, highly commical, and one of the most entertaining books I have read. If this book is a true to life comparison, people will always want to read about funny shaped vegetables and women who give birth to snakes. No one wants the real TRUTH... and if thats the case then this book will give you eternal youth and the energy of a 10 year old. (ok maybe not, but it feels like it for um... 2 or 3 hours)...

Advantages: Lovely fragrance, modern packaging
Disadvantages: None

...I bought this aftershave last Christmas for my boyfriend and I think its a lovely fragrance. In my opinion this fragrance is aimed at young men rather than dads and uncles and is perfect for a boyfriend, brother or friend. I feel that it is aimed at younger men because it is a very light fragrance, whereas as typically older mens aftershaves smell more heavy and spicy. This aftershave is light and perfect for daytime or evening wear. The fragrance is gentle and sexy - certainly not overpowering (well, unless you put the full bottle on!). It is a fresh, crisp scent yet has a little bit of a spicy edge which makes it different from CK One for example, which doesn't have that spicier edge to it. The aftershave has good staying power - and the scent is so lovely that you don't get sick of it by the end of the day. The bottle... Read review

Advantages: Enjoyable read, insight into the Amish life
Disadvantages: None that I found

...to Katie, to get her to open up and tell her the truth to allow Ellie to represent her properly in court. As time goes by the two of them build an unlikely friendship and find they have more in common than they first thought. A figure from the past comes back into Ellie's life and makes her consider her future and also reflect on her decisions from the past. How will living the Amish way of life affect Ellie's decisions for her future? Is Katie guilty? As the front of the book suggests "Does a different way of life mean a different right and wrong?" Why I liked this book. Firstly I was interested in the Amish story, although not having any direct experience of Amish people my parents went on holiday to Canada and came across Mennonite people who live in the same way as the Amish. They shun the modern ways... Read review

Advantages: read op :)
Disadvantages: read op :)

.... Their original name also wasn’t Boyz II men, it was actually ‘Unique Attraction’ but after hearing the song ‘Boyz II men’ on the radio one day they decided the name fit them perfectly and never looked back. *** Who are they? *** In the beginning there were 5 members of Boyz II men. However Marc Nelson, the 5th member, quit the band to go solo. It is rumoured that he got booted out for some things he was saying but whether there is truth in that I really don’t know. So now it’s just Nathan Bartholomew (a right mouthful isn’t it?) Morris, Michael Shawn McCary, Shawn Patrick Stockman and Wanya Jermaine Morris. They are all near the same age with Nathan and Michael born in 1971, Shawn born in 1972 and Wanya being the youngest born in 1973. *** Their Music *** The music they produce is R+B mainly...

Advantages: Fun, thrills and great characters.
Disadvantages: Part of a series, Humour is subjective.

...that should not have been there was stolen. The Ankh-Morpork City Watch, (Night Shift) is expanding. The Patrician was quite insistent that the ethnic make up of the city should be reflected in its policing force. So, there are new men in the watch: Lance-Constables Cuddy, Detritus and Angua. One’s a dwarf, the other a troll and Angua is, well, a woman…most of the time. The truth is, Samuel Vimes isn’t too happy about the new recruits. But then again, Samuel Vimes isn’t too happy about a lot of things. But mostly, in his new state of self-inflicted sobriety, Samuel Vimes is not happy about the string of strange murders in his city. An alleged theft, unusual deaths and the unequivocal order from the Patrician not to investigate the case turn out to be too much for Samuel Vimes to simply ignore. And since he’s... Read review
