.Clean Cut
City Travel Guides > Books > Audio CDs
by: Lynda La Plante

October 01, 2007
Once again, Lynda La Plante gives a thoroughly gripping read. The characters jump to life and give the impression that you are part of the scene of investigations, and the police teams investigating the series of events. The storyline has topical issues, and some sinister practices. Overall, an excellent read.

.The Last Templar (CD)
City Travel Guides > Books > Audio CDs
by: Raymond Khoury

March 08, 2006
A complete waste of time. Despite the spectacular beginning, the story line is very thin, the characters are psychologically unconvincing, the plot involves too many coincidences and is far removed from reality. And above all, the writer shows very little understanding of the nature of Christian faith and dogma; trying, for instance, to make out that 1 billion Christians would reel back in horror and renounce their faith if they were told that Jesus wrote a diary and that he was human is ludicrous. And the idea of the Vatican as a corrupt and hypocritical bunch of swindlers who have highly-trained killers like Monsignor De Angelis in their employ is just hopeless.

.Michel Thomas Spanish Language Builder (Michel Thomas Series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Audio CDs
by: Michel Thomas

January 01, 1900
This is an excellent follow-on course to the Michel Thomas Spanish Foundation Course (also highly recommended). I bought it a little less than a year after buying and becoming fairly proficient with the content of the Foundation Course. For me, proficiency in the Foundation Course took a lot longer than the 6 weeks or so that the publishers suggested. Perhaps that is because I am very bad at learning a new language - but I don't think so. I think I am about average and that the publishers claims are unrealistic.

My warning to all beginners like me, is - don't be depressed by slow progress - learning a new language is tough, but we'll get there in the end, and let's enjoy ourselves while doing it. And the Michel Thomas Language Builder ... Read More:

.Contatti 2: An Intermediate Course in Italian: Complete Pack
City Travel Guides > Books > Audio CDs
by: Giuliana Checketts, Mariolina Freeth

June 30, 2006
has a lot of work for groups or writing, so no good for self-study. SO many mistakes its unbelieveable (e.g. missing CD tracks, missing answers, extra answers to questions which dont exist, spelling errors just to name a few).

This pack comes with CD, course book and answer key with tapescript. you have to buy the Activity book with all the grammar work seperately. This activity book, saves my rating from being a 1 star. it is a good book with lots of practice. the course book is rubbish. even the feel is out of date. it says it is the 2nd edition published in 2006, but the photos look like they come from the 80's and the layout is not very pretty. certainly not wotrth the money, but good luck if you can find another intermediate course!! ...

.Michel Thomas Foundation Course: Italian (Michel Thomas Series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Audio CDs
by: Michel Thomas

September 29, 2006
The first thing to say is that the Michel Thomas way is perfect for me. I did his Spanish course and it gave me the motivation to take conversation lessons. The big problem is not the saying or reading of a language, it is the listening to others and understanding what they are saying that is difficult. So, having completed the Italian course I feel very confident with the structure and cognate vocabulary, and I just need to practice. Having followed Michel Thomas's Spanish course in the past I have to say that I found the Italian version less comprehensive than the Spanish. There seems to be a lot of time spent on the will and would, and the stressed 'r' on the word endings. As with the Spanish course you have to get past the students mistakes, but I think that ...

.Great Inventors and Their Inventions: Archimedes, Gutenberg, Franklin, Nobel, Bell, Marconi, The Wright Brothers, Edison (Junior Classics)
City Travel Guides > Books > Audio CDs
by: David Angus

October 02, 2006
This audio CD book, alongside with other Naxos educational CDs for children, is absolutely fantastic. It contains loads of information, so adults interest is guaranteed as well as children's fascination. It's a must for curious little minds. Presented in an easy listening format, it educates and enterntains at the same time. Boring car journeys became a highly enjoyable and educational experiences in our family since Naxos CDs were purchased. Being non-fiction, they can be listened to over and over again, offering a chance for the child to remember and/or understand more details each time.
