.Bewigged and Bewildered?: A Guide to Becoming a Barrister in England and Wales
Search: England
by: Adam Kramer

May 08, 2007
This book has really helped me to get an idea about what the differences are between solicitors and barristers, the costs and process of becoming a barrister and also what Junior Barristers do on a day to day basis. There is a fasinating section of "a week in the life" stories from a variety of different diciplines which I found very helpful.

Kramers book is honest with the difficulties faced in ultimately getting a tenancy but there is an underlying optimism about the profession, acknowledging the competition but stating happily that the cream will float to the top. A reassuring concept for an non oxbridge graduate like myself.

A practical, helpful guide and reference.

.Snowdonia, Anglesey and the Llyn Peninsula: Walks (Pathfinder Guide)
Search: England
by: Brian Conduit, Neil Coates

1991-05
I did the walk starting at Bethgellert and taking in Nanmor Valley and the Aberglaslyn Gorge. Long walk on a beautifully sunny day taking you off the main roads and into the heart of Snowdonia. Really special, really easy to follow, and a great adventure.

.One Under (Di Joe Faraday)
Search: England
by: Graham Hurley

August 31, 2007
A body chained to a railway line, and a missing person. Two seperate crimes. Probably the best 'Joe Farraday' novel yet. As usual, it is Paul Winter that excels as the best character, but this is a plot that you just couldn't guess at. Simply fantastic. Good that Farraday's son JJ is kept out of it (not a character I particularly like). And surprised that Farraday has a beard!! (Has this been mentioned before? I dont recall). It does not fit the mental image that I have of the man. As always, I urge you to read these novels in sequence, not essential, but o so much better! This IS the best so far, highly recommended.

.The Dirty South
Search: England
by: Alex Wheatle

April 03, 2008
This is a must read for anyone who wants to start to understand the youth culture that has led to so many stabbings and shootings in London in recent months. Written in Alex's usual gripping and immediate style I was grabbed by the narrative right from the start. The "street language" can be challenging, but you soon get used to it (and if you're like me have to be careful not to start using it yourself!). Alex lives within the community about which he writes and clearly has observed the culture he talks about first hand. Keenly observed and with strong characterisation you get caught up with the action and live the events, so as the action unfolds you start to understand the main character's motivation. If you enjoy this you ought to read ... Read More:
