.The Tiger Who Came to Tea
City Travel Guides > Books > Paperback
by: Judith Kerr

February 06, 2006
I recently bought this for my daughter after spotting it in Marks and Spencers. I earned a few strange looks with my mini squeal of delight, but nevermind! I had completely forgotton about this book until seeing it again, and the memories flooded back as I read the story to my daugher. The simple story will delight any child, but for me, the drawings made the book. A must!!

.Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway: How to Turn Your Fear and Indecision into Confidence and Action
City Travel Guides > Books > Paperback
by: Susan Jeffers

January 04, 2007
This was the first 'pop psychology' book I ever bought, and it's a well-thumbed classic. Upbeat and practical, it's helpful for changing your mindset as well as your habits. A good mix of psychobabble and practical exercises. I found it especially helpful when leaving university, and having to make what felt like big choices about what to do next. The book helped me realise that all my choices could be positive and made me feel less afraid of missing out on something.

.Life in the United Kingdom: A Journey to Citizenship - 2nd Edition (2007)
City Travel Guides > Books > Paperback
by: The Home Office - Life in the UK Advisor

March 27, 2007
Here it is, the cure for insomnia!

Given that one of the aims of the Life in the UK test is to test English literacy, you would think the official guide would be written in accessible English! Instead, we are handed this sloppy compilation of pointless statistics, useless abbreviations, dry facts with little context and advice that will make you slap your forehead and scowl: 'Well, OBVIOUSLY!'

A blue box pops up every so often asking the reader 'check that you understand...', but oftentimes what is listed has NOT been explained or even mentioned in what you've just finished reading. I defy anyone to explain to me the differences between the Council of Europe, the Council of the EU, the EU, the EC and the European Parliament ... Read More:

.Economics
City Travel Guides > Books > Paperback
by: John Sloman

September 20, 2006
Sloman has excelled himself by producing a book on economics that is bright, colourful, well layed out and interesting to read.

I viewed economics as a boring subject until i picked up and read sloman. The great thing about this book is that you can just pick it up and read. It is well written in a concise and informative way that is not to technical yet contains all the information. This is backed up at the end of every section by a bullet point summary that covers the entire section.

If that is not enough the book is littered with case samples and explanations of terms, all importantly this book is utilising online accompanyment to the best of its ability. A website that has answers to questions in the book and the possiblity for a lecturer ... Read More:

.Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) [Children's Edition] (Harry Potter)
City Travel Guides > Books > Paperback
by: J.K. Rowling

July 10, 2008
Don't get me wrong this was a brillaint book but it was a let down at the end. Myself and my fiance thought it would of had a better ending to the series that it had I was "eh why is it ended here that's stupid" she could of left us all hanging on and then released a new book saying all that and going into a bit more detailk than she did after all that would of kept everyone on the edge of their seats and she would of been able to rethink the ending because some of the ending could have been forseen much earlier in the series as myself and my fiance had guessed most of it was going to happen.

.The Ghost

July 03, 2008
The main character goofs around a bit and gets laid before stumbling on the conspiracy. It was enjoyable enough, but mostly uneventful.

.The Gruffalo's Child
City Travel Guides > Books > Paperback
by: Julia Donaldson

September 02, 2005
My kids - aged 2 and 4 - love the original Gruffalo story and ask to read it almost every bedtime. There was initial excitement when I brought this one home. But after a couple of readings they quickly stopped asking for it. If I suggest reading it now, they say "no, we want the first Gruffalo story".

In truth, the original Gruffalo story is so good that it's a very, very tough act to follow. But, even allowing for that, this sequel almost entirely lacks most of the features that make the first story so memorable. It hasn't got anything like the same rhythm in the writing. And the plot meanders its way to a weak pay-off that has little impact and doesn't make much sense.

All-in-all, a disappointing follow-up to the excellent original.

.Lord of the Flies
City Travel Guides > Books > Paperback
by: William Golding

June 03, 2002
Let me just say one thing; I am an avid reader. I love books. Whenever I begin reading, I cannot stop halfway through, even if it is an absolutely awful book. However, this book went beyond awful. It was so far past awful it made me want to throw up (and I wish I were exaggerating). Not just because the book is basically a doctoral thesis on human psychology wrapped in a plot stolen from 'The Coral Island', but mainly because it makes no sense.

Let's start at the beginning: The arrival. The pilot manages to safely land the plane on the one island in the middle of nowhere, while the cockpit is on fire. Having done this, the several tonne plane then washes out to sea, after all the boys have left, without a scratch on them. Not even a bruise, after an emergency crash ... Read More:
