.Lessons in Heartbreak

by: Cathy Kelly

June 16, 2008
I was scouting around the house looking for something to fill in an atrociously wet Sunday, and remembered someone had lent me a pile of books amongst which was this one. I had not previously read any of Cathy Kelly's books, or even heard of her, but I am very glad I have made her aquaintance.

Once started I couldn't put it down, I read until I got to the end. I thoroughly enjoyed it, although the story did jump about a bit in time it was much easier to keep track of than several other books I have recently read. I liked the characters (well almost all, surely no one could like Sybil) and could so easily picture them from their description and it brought the book to life for me. It also gave an insight into the horrors the medical ... Read More:

.The Gaol: The Story of Newgate - London's Most Notorious Prison

by: Kelly Grovier

July 10, 2008
A well researched, intelligent, thorough history of Newgate prison, beautifully presented. As someone who does not read a lot of factual books, I found this an enjoyable read. I got the book after listening to some of the "Book of the Week" episodes on BBC Radio 4. Who knew so much could go on behind a jails four walls, I certainly didn't!

.The Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market Investing

by: Jason Kelly

December 18, 2007
This is a good book to choose.

Excellent book at a remarkably low price.

Proven very useful in formulating my investment strategy. You will have read the classic heavy weights, this is much lighter but thoroughly useable.

Mine will probably need replacing because it is so well thumbed!

.The Secret : Universal Mind Meditation

by: Kelly Howell

December 18, 2007
The usual monotheistic dominance: a single all knowing god. I've spent a lifetime trying to get away from people who want a monotheistic god - who just happens to be what they want him / her to be. I don't mind people wanting this - but Kelly could put that on the cover and I will happily steer clear. But (as usual) the assumption seems to be that everyone will believe and want what Kelly believes. I guess my starting point is to say I have beliefs and it is very unlikely that they will be other people's. I think that mediation / self hypnosis has something to offer people who are different to me. I can respect how they are and what they believe. If only Kelly and Christians were capable of the same.

.The Roman Empire: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)

by: Christopher Kelly

August 24, 2006
This excellent introduction to the Roman Empire is succinct and selective rather than superficial. Its compass ranges from the iconography of the Imperial cult to contemporary perceptions of Rome in the cinema.

Far from being a conventional, political history centred on the Roman elite, Kelly is most impressive when trying to recreate the ordinary lives of the silent and all but invisible majority, who have left no historical trace and only the faintest of impressions in the archaeological record. He is especially interesting and perceptive when writing about elusive topics like population studies within the Empire. Hard evidence on such matters is, naturally, very scant. Kelly uses statistical models and contemporary demographic studies ... Read More:

.Crusaders

by: Richard T. Kelly

July 31, 2008
'Crusaders' is a very ambitious work that opens with an Anglican vicar's attempt to found a church in a deprived area of Tyneside. Politics, religion, and morality form the backdrop to this engrossing novel, heavy themes that are communicated with skill and flair though Kelly's particular ear for realistic dialogue. His characters seem real and the central idea is original and thought-provoking.

However, Kelly does not seem capable of maintaining all the subplots that are woven through the novel. Stories fizzle out and characters simply disappear. This was a stylistic trick of Tolstoy's, and it may be that Kelly was deliberately trying to emulate it. However, it doesn't work, and gives me the impression that he tried to cram too much into one ... Read More:

.Perfect Manners: How to Behave So Your Horse Will Too

by: Kelly Marks

March 07, 2002
This too makes a lovely reading book BUT its not easy to use, mixing facts with anacdotes,poetry, quotes from philosophers -slightly jumbled
I found it very frustrating.
Full credit to anyone who spreads the word about this fantastic technique though.

.Lorraine Kelly's Baby and Toddler Eating Plan: Over 100 Healthy, Quick and Easy Recipes

by: Lorraine Kelly, Anita Bean

July 06, 2006
This book is boring, the recipes are boring and unadventurous and the layout is boring. Luckily I did'nt pay for it, it was given to me. There are far more better baby recipe books out there.
