.The Real Deal: My Story from Brick Lane to the Dragons' Den
City Travel Guides > Books > English
by: James Caan

September 18, 2008
What can I say? I saw this guy at the asian jewel awards back in 2003. This book is inspiration! If he can do it so can anyone who wants to really succeed! He did it from nothing!

18 hour days was normal to James! What a machine!

The book is well layed out, flows very well and is comprehensive. I found it a treasure trove of useful lessons.

After reading this book I really respect what this guy achieved and what this guy stands for! the book also goes into detail about how he used his money and influence to do good!

We can all learn something from stars like James Caan!

Believe me once you have read this book and absorbed everything, you will be so pumped up and inspired you ... Read More:

.Dreams That Glitter: Our Story
City Travel Guides > Books > English
by: Girls Aloud

October 09, 2008
Barcode: 9780593061220

Girls Aloud are really quite beyond anything else. As a band, over the past six years they have caused a nation to fall in love with them, to cherish them and their inspired pop songs. They are impossibly beautiful, role models to countless young people, media darlings that have the tabloids and celeb mags hanging on their every move, they are fantastic singers who have treated us to some of the best pop songs of the 21st century, but most of all - they are Girls Aloud, and that is why we love them.

And now, in the book that all us fans have been waiting ages for, Cheryl, Nadine, Nicola, Sarah and Kimberley invite us to sit back and listen to just what it's like to be Girls Aloud. For those who ... Read More:

.In Tearing Haste: Letters Between Deborah Devonshire and Patrick Leigh Fermor
City Travel Guides > Books > English
by: Patrick Leigh Fermor, The Duchess of Devonshire

September 04, 2008
If you have read and loved Charlotte Mosley's wonderful Mitford Letters this will definitely not disappoint!!

Their writing styles, and indeed life styles are markedly different - Paddy's erudite, descriptive, precise and exuberant letters serve to remind us why he is often considered the greatest travel writer of our time. His wonderful descriptions of his adventures bring to life so many different places - from Devon to the Andes to Eastern Europe and back to Derbyshire. He tells stories about upsetting Somerset Maugham with his stammering jokes; about his feat of swimming across the Hellespont aged 69; about rounding up wild horses in Chagford; and about his time building his home Kardamyli with his wife Joan.

.Superpowers for Parents: The Psychology of Great Parenting and Happy Children
City Travel Guides > Books > English
by: Dr Stephen Briers

October 01, 2008
I love this book. If you only ever buy one "parenting" book, make it this one! It is written with warmth and humour and the author's obvious love and respect for children shines through.
He is not concerned with "managing the child's behaviour" but rather with developing the psychological skills she needs to successfully manage her own life......and to this end, provides us with the ways in which we can assist in this process.
He is also not concerned with "guilt tripping" parents for any shortcomings in their parenting skills....what a relief!
This is a very clear and easy to read book and if it were compulsory reading for all parents, would be parents and teachers, our future generation would be in very safe hands! I highly ... Read More:

.Just So Stories (Selected) (BBC Audio)
City Travel Guides > Books > English
by: Rudyard Kipling

February 04, 2008
I'd always enjoyed being read and later reading myself the Just So Stories. With children of my own I started them on these stories and having a cd of them means we can enjoy them on the move. The joy of hearing Jonnie Morris' super animal voice characterisations just adds to the enjoyment - takes me back to watching Animal Magic - deep joy!
Four year old daughter enjoys listening to the stories but my nine year old son has become a great fan - this now regularly is on his cd player in his room.
Buy this and you'll all be able to listen together and enjoy.

.The Pillars of the Earth
City Travel Guides > Books > English
by: Ken Follett

April 06, 2007
The strength of the book is the detailed description of the development of a cathedral and its impact on the prosperity of a town through a page-turning narrative and fictional characters. It is a fairly easy read on a difficult subject. It covers the civil war during the 12th century (Stephen and Maud) The downside is it is not a very memorable read. When my book club recommended it, I did not even remember I had aready done so! I certainly would not say don't read it - especially if you are doing GCSE architecture or medieval history. It does bring the period to life more than a textbook would and that can spur you on to learn more. However, it is not a great piece of historical fiction.

.Preserves: River Cottage Handbook No.2 (River Cottage Handbook 2)
City Travel Guides > Books > English
by: Pam Corbin

August 04, 2008
I've been wanting to make preserves for years, but I've only just started to do it. Loving the whole River Cottage ethos, I was naturally interested in this book. I read some great reviews and so I bought it, and IMO it's just as wonderful as others said it was.

There's a wealth of inspiring recipes, many of which come with suggestions for modifications which can be made by those who have different ingredients/would like to use something slightly different. Everything is clearly explained, and the photographs just make me want to go down to the kitchen and eat up every last preserve in the fridge!

This book is an absolute inspiration. I'd defy anyone even very slightly interested in making their own jams, chutneys, pickles ... Read More:

.The Reluctant Fundamentalist
City Travel Guides > Books > English
by: Mohsin Hamid

April 24, 2008
This book is beautifully written. The words are chosen with care and this is consistent with the fact that the narrator - although had a privileged anglophile upbringing - is not English mother-tongue. However there are some annoying - if not disturbing - profiles. The narrator (or the author?) although proclaims his annoyance by American people's superiority complex, seems sometimes affected by the same problem: a badly concealed superiority complex towards Western people's supposed grossness...Although annoying, this is a beautifully written book, and the pace is fast....I recommend it
