.Lord Loss (Book One of The Demonata)
City Travel Guides > Books > Favourites in Books
by: Darren Shan

January 03, 2006
I first started out, not really doing much reading. I did think it was quite boring, then my mum encouraged me to start reading. So i just thought, to get her off my back, ill just read a book. I had this book 2 and a half years ago, not reading it. Im 16, and i used to do a lot of gaming.

I first picked up this book, but boy i got hooked in to it. The book works great in explaining what happens, the twists and turns that you don't expect. At first you don't have any idea about the front of the book, with chess pieces. A horror book, with chess? But i'm telling you, read the first fewe pages and you won't put it down.

I finished the book in a week, and loved every minute of it. It has brought me into reading again, ... Read More:

.Eclipse (Twilight Saga)
City Travel Guides > Books > Favourites in Books
by: Stephenie Meyer

October 04, 2007
First and foremost I have to admit that from about the third chapter of Twilight I was not able to put these books down, they really do have some unseen grip on the reader (and is my reason for giving this 3 stars), as far as enjoyability goes I'd say I liked Eclipse the best, I loved how it delved into the history of the other vampires and of course the werewolves, but it was by far the most predictable(did Meyer really think we wouldn't connect the dots?), and I found myself more than once with a very sudden urge to strangle Bella.

And I definitely find myself agreeing with a lot of what others here have said, her whole thought process within this book is just completely and utterly wacked, if the guy you are insanely in love with ... Read More:

.Secret Gratitude Book
City Travel Guides > Books > Favourites in Books
by: Rhonda Byrne

December 03, 2007
As other reviewers have said the book is a journal, which is another name for a 'posh' notebook. Yes you could go out and buy a notebook from 'Woolies'. The whole idea of the law of attraction is to bring abundance into all areas of your life, so do you want to write your dreams and desires into a lovely journal or a cheapie notebook, the choice is yours! I have been using the law of attraction to create what I want in my life long before the secret was out! The law of attraction has been around since time began, it certainly does work, but you have to get into the feeling of being abundant and grateful, a cheapie notebook would not do that for me. Its the difference between wanting a Porsche or a Panda!

.Antony Worrall Thompson's GL Diet Made Simple
City Travel Guides > Books > Favourites in Books
by: Antony Worrall Thompson, Mabel Blades, Jane Suthering

January 26, 2006
At first, the new method may seem a bit complicated but it's definitely not! On the contrary, it helped me understand how to combine foods and then eat more and a greater variety of foods! Antony Worrall Thompson's recipes are delicious, easy to prepare and adapted to the whole family.
I have already lost 5 kilos in a month and I have never feel deprived!!! That is just a miracle!

.Annabel Karmel's Favourite Family Recipes
City Travel Guides > Books > Favourites in Books
by: Annabel Karmel

April 07, 2005
I am a huge Annabel Karmel fan and each of her books is eagerly awaited by myself. This particular book is the most used out of all the recipe books in my kitchen, so much so that I had to order another copy as the first one fell to bits! I know there are a couple of fiddly recipes in the book (such as the basketweave chicken breasts, which I don't even look at!) but the others more than make up for it. All the pasta recipes in particular have been staple meals in my household for the past three or so years. The cake section is also fantastic as I do a lot of baking, the ideas for decorations are excellent. I urge you to try the Divinely Decadent Fruity Dark Chocolate Bars, they are gorgeous.

.A Quiet Flame: A Bernie Gunther Mystery
City Travel Guides > Books > Favourites in Books
by: Philip Kerr

March 06, 2008
Fans of Philip Kerr's original trilogy of Bernie Gunther books were delighted last year when after a gap of 17 years, a fourth volume `The One from the Other' hit the bookshops in July.

Barely nine months on and there's a very welcome fifth book in the series. And while reading it, it becomes clear that there are plans for at least one more volume from `the thinking reader's thriller writer'

Ex-Berlin homicide detective/private eye/SS officer Bernie Gunther finds himself in Buenos Aries, Argentina in 1950 (read `The One From The Other' to find out why), a time when Juan Peron's government offered a safe haven for Nazi war criminals. The action switches largely between Berlin in 1932 - and Bernie's last abandoned case as a police officer when the ... Read More:

.Annabel Karmel's Complete First Year Planner
City Travel Guides > Books > Favourites in Books

I was highly unimpressed by this book, because of the poor editing. It cannot even decide (from one page to the next) what constitutes a serving of vegetables.

.The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy: Primary Phase (Audio CD)
City Travel Guides > Books > Favourites in Books
by: Douglas Adams

May 02, 2005
Fantastic - a true muse of fire, crammed with so many ideas and such comedic brilliance that it is practically bursting at the seams.
All the others seem lame in comparison (which they aren't), like Charlie Chaplins WW1 films - an ariadne's thread for all his other ideas.

If you haven't listened to the Primary Phase, don't just watch the film or read the book - it is essential that you try it on CD, as it was ground breaking in its time, and still flawless in the present.

All in all, this is an essential audio book, which has had profound effects on popular culture and is a Bible for anyone seeking to make headway (while avoiding cliche) in sci-fi, comedy or any pop culture field. Listen and be enriched!
