.The Magic of Thinking Big
City Travel Guides > Books > Paperback Deals
by: David J. Schwartz

May 02, 2006
This book is a guide for anyone who wants to succeed in life. Dr Schwartz explains the reasons for `thinking big' and follows this up with ways to succeed with your big plans. Think big, remove fear and prosper is the underlying message that comes across.

The style of writing makes for an enjoyable read. Dr Schwartz has a wonderful understanding of those eager to learn and backs up an entertaining and informative read with superb examples.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will be keeping it for future reference. It is the ideal guide for those who aspire to succeed in life but need some pointers into the right direction. A lot of the information reported might appear to be common sense. There is a lot more ... Read More:

.The End Of Mr. Y
City Travel Guides > Books > Paperback Deals
by: Scarlett Thomas

June 12, 2008
They say you should never judge a book by its cover and that is certainly confirmed with this offering! I judged the book by its cover, bought it at London Heathrow, and began to read on the long haul transatlantic flight to LA. Things started well, it seemed a great idea for a story - the long lost book with a sinister magical secret but things were unraffling by the time we reached Iceland. Ploughing on through the author's efforts to show how clever she is I gave up as we crossed the eastern USA coast. And that was that really. The storyline of this book is 'all at sea' - and that's exactly where I left it. I abandoned this book in the library of the Diamond Princess cruise ship - at least it'll look nice on the shelf but I suggest that's ... Read More:

.Friend or Foe
City Travel Guides > Books > Paperback Deals
by: Michael Morpurgo

August 06, 2007
One morning David is awoken by his mother and he remembers that he was going to be sent away to the countryside. His mother takes him to the station where he sees all his friends and teachers who are also going. He arrives there nearly the last but someone else, Tucky, is last. Tony Tucker (also known as Tucky) is best friends with him. They are now like brothers as they are evacuated away to Devon, like all their other friends, from their homes and school in the big and busy city of London in the World War 2. They are the centre of attention for a while in the village but soon they are a little bit feared. They are staying with a nice couple, Jerry and Ann Reynolds.

.Checkmate (Noughts & Crosses Trilogy)
City Travel Guides > Books > Paperback Deals
by: Malorie Blackman

September 07, 2006
This book is an emotional rolarcoaster, brilliantly written and a perfect end to the trilogy. A definate must read!I would strongly recommend reading the first two of the series first though as otherwise the story will not make as much sense.
The characters are all brilliantly developed and very easy to empathise with and the plot is full off lots of twists and turns with an unpradictable ending. Definately worth the money.

.Egypt (Lonely Planet Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Paperback Deals
by: Matthew Firestone, Rafael Wlodarski, Anthony Sattin

May 01, 2008
We've just come back from honeymoon and used this book when we visited Cairo and particularly the incredible museum... the descriptions are spot on and the book guides you thru' room by room. Our tour guide was saying practically the same things as the book, so its all you need!

Dress codes for women in Cairo aren't as strict as the book makes it out to be, there were loads of girls with string tops and shorts, so long skirts and long sleeved shirts aren't necessarily a must!! Other than that, pretty accurate about local customs and traditions.

.Hunger Like No Other (Immortals After Dark, Book 1)
City Travel Guides > Books > Paperback Deals
by: Kresley Cole

June 02, 2008
This was my first foray into this genre. I must say, I was initially put off by the cover as it looked like one of those novels that desperate or under satisfied women read - and to be fair...it was - as it jumped right into the passion pit within the first ten pages. BUT...it was well written with a good story line and great character development that made you understand the feelings / agendas of each individual. I liked the author's style of letting readers into the thoughts of the two main characters at important moments. I did think Emma held out a bit too long in satisfying her desires, and Lachain was a bit overly sensitive to her reluctance for a sex-starved, middle ages type Scotsman. As well, there were a couple of storylines that went unanswered (Lucia ... Read More:

.When a Crocodile Eats the Sun
City Travel Guides > Books > Paperback Deals
by: Peter Godwin

November 02, 2007
Peter Godwin was born in Rhodesia, and in 1996 he published 'Makiwa', a gripping account of how he grew up in that country. He was conscripted into the Rhodesian army to fight against the independence movement, by which time he felt that he was fighting in an unjust cause. He eventually got to England, became a journalist, and in 1981, now based in the United States, he returned to what in 1980 had become independent Zimbabwe, partly because his parents were still living there and partly because he loved the country and its people. But he now had to record that the new government of Robert Mugabe was more savage than the white government had been and was carrying out bloody suppression in Matabeleland - a sign of things to come. Godwin's reporting at that time made ... Read More:
