.Bad Science
City Travel Guides > Books > Age (feature two browse-bin)
by: Ben Goldacre

September 01, 2008
A great book about medicine, and to a lesser extent science. Lots of stuff about statistics and evidence-based medicine, clearly explained. Goldacre is just brilliant - witty, charming, sensible. Buy this, read it, give it to your friends who take homeopathic remedies for non-existent conditions. Give it your friends who work for drug companies too. Above all, give it to anyone who works in the media, in the hope that they might acquire a modicum of scientific literacy.

.Stick Man
City Travel Guides > Books > Age (feature two browse-bin)
by: Julia Donaldson

September 01, 2008
We've had this book for almost three weeks. I've read it to my two and a half year old son approximately 56 times. I've been woken up with the book on my head. I've found him sat outside the toilet with the book in wait. If anybody asks I am now Stick Man, Stick Man that's me!
Still, at least Tiddler can have a break from being late.
Story is as rich as all of Julia's and the artwork seems to have reached a new level. If Charlie Cook ever got hold of this he'd have a new favourite.

.A Most Wanted Man
City Travel Guides > Books > Age (feature two browse-bin)
by: John le Carré

September 23, 2008
I've long been among the first in line for the new John le Carre, so was pleased to find this book on sale for half price at Waterstones last week. Throughout a long writing career (this novel is his 21st), le Carre has continued to return to the themes of deception and betrayal and, although he's used an interesting variety of geographical locations for his settings, those of us who've spent a long time immersed in his world have started to identify common characteristics in his dramatis personae. Thus, in this story, the befuddled Englishman who tries to do the right thing has echoes of, amongst others, Harry Pendel in The Tailor Of Panama, Ted Mundy in Absolute Friends and Tim Cranmer in Our Game. And the attractive idealistic female lawyer is strongly ... Read More:

.Twilight (Twilight Saga)
City Travel Guides > Books > Age (feature two browse-bin)
by: Stephenie Meyer

I really enjoyed this, my oldest boy 16 loved it, my youngest boy 12 thought it was a bit scary at times, and likes to sleep with his light on now. However they both agreed they enjoyed it and would read more of Twilight. Great for teens, but maybe the younger children should read Jason Steed, Alex Rider books.

.A Thousand Splendid Suns
City Travel Guides > Books > Age (feature two browse-bin)
by: Khaled Hosseini

September 18, 2008
Read this book and you will not be sorry!

I have read both Hosseini's books and I will not pick a favourite.

They are equally VERY good.
Type of books you cant stop reading and will cherish in your bookshelf...

Both books relate to us what is to be a human!

Flaud, sacrifices and mistakes we all make and have to live with.

I cant wait for his 3rd book.

.The Shack
City Travel Guides > Books > Age (feature two browse-bin)
by: William P. Young

July 17, 2008
People who read this book for a detailed theology of the Christian faith are misleading themselves much like those who want the Bible to be a text book of theoretical physics or similar. A work of fiction will never do this and, as this book reminds us, the Bible is in essence about a relationship between people and God. Sure there are bits that are a bit shmaltzy for us cynical Brits but it still moved me more than most books I have read.

.The Road Home
City Travel Guides > Books > Age (feature two browse-bin)
by: Rose Tremain

June 12, 2008
There are some writers who just create seamless prose that reads like it's always been there on the page and they just traced over the words. Well, for me, this was one of those books. I loved it from beginning to end. It tells the story of Lev, an "economic migrant" from the East, and his search for work, and life. It is probably a little too rose tinted to be real, and I doubt there are many migrants so lucky as Lev, but I so wanted him to succeed.

This book is absolutely, amazingly superb. It was so captivating and moving. I picked it up as I wanted something to read on my train ride home from uni. This book is a great read, an excellent piece of work and i would read it over and over again. I recommend this book to everyone.

.Breaking Dawn (Twilight Saga)
City Travel Guides > Books > Age (feature two browse-bin)
by: Stephenie Meyer

August 04, 2008
This is the 4th and final book in the Twilight series and it was not a disappointment, apart from the fact that there are no more books in the series. I am so sad to say goodbye to the main characters, Bella, Edward and Jacob because they were described in such a way that I felt they were a part of my circle of friends.

I loved this book but had to keep reminding myself that it was fiction, it was supernatural and as such, ANYTHING CAN happen, and it does!

I loved the whole story from begining to end and I am not going to describe what happens - you can read the synopsis for that. I loved the romance, the intrigue and the brewing fight..... I really did not know what to expect at each turn of the page.

An exciting read!
