.The Very Hungry Caterpillar [Board Book]
City Travel Guides > Books > Special Features
by: Eric Carle

September 29, 1994
The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a great little book. It keeps my daughter occupied for hours on end. Just a quick flick through it is enough to convince any adult that a small child will like it. Simplistic, enjoyable and charming. And actually quite funny.
Well recommended for very small kids.

.The Ghost
City Travel Guides > Books > Special Features
by: Robert Harris

July 03, 2008
But, no, I can't feel sorry for that pair! This is only a mildly-gripping thriller, a good beach read that I polished off in a couple of days ... but its satirisation of the Blairs is quite hilarious. And there's a jolly good twist at the end.
Not up to the standards of Enigma/Fatherland but well worth the cover price in amusement value.

This is a wonderful journey, with a man that enjoys life, it made me want to do the exact same thing as him, read, relax and travel with Frankie.

.Heroes, Villains and Velodromes: Chris Hoy and Britain's Track Cycling Revolution
City Travel Guides > Books > Special Features
by: Richard Moore

June 16, 2008
Like so many people in the country I was blown away by the success of the recent Olympics in Beijing, but especially by the amazing performances of the GB cycling team. So when i noticed "Heroes, Villains & Velodromes" on the shelf of my local book shop I thought I'd give it a try. I wasn't sure what to expect really but what i got was a lively, entertaining and extremely well written read about the revolution in british cycling and Hoy's part in it over the last ten years. As Moore says in his comments it's not nessecarily a story just about Chris Hoy but he is the principal character and 'star of the show'
Hoy comes across a phenomenal athlete, ferocious competitor but also a genuinely nice guy who's dedicates hiimself completely to ... Read More:

.Tan Lines: A Novel of Sex and Sunburn
City Travel Guides > Books > Special Features
by: J.J. Salem

May 02, 2008
I bought this book for holiday and if I had had anything else to do but read in the sun I would have binned it. The characters where drawn as cartoon stereotypes (too bad or too good) I didn't like any of the characters and the end was obvious from the beginning. First time I've read a Jackie Colllins reviewed book (or one of hers) - I won't again. The book ended up in bits in Greece!

.Got You Back
City Travel Guides > Books > Special Features
by: Jane Fallon

August 15, 2008
This book started off really well, the characters were believable and the plot was interesting enough to get me hooked. When the plans for revenge were unfolded between the two women, I couldn't put the book down. I wanted to see what they were going to do to him and with each new drama, I was drawn further and further in as James' life unfolds dramatically around him with seemingly no idea who's behind it all. But then something odd happens, it's almost as if the author had a change of heart half way through because the story goes from this, to a less dramatic story of a woman getting over the break up of her marriage and moving on to a new relationship. The one "big event" that was planned early on in the book (that I was really looking foward to reading) doesn't ... Read More:

This is the book to buy on teaching this subject. It is clearly written, beautifully laid out and provides self assessment exercises to work through in order to clarify what has just been read. There are more provided on the cd rom at the back of the book too. If you are teaching this subject for the first time, moving up or down years or simply want to refresh your knowledge and rekindle your enthusiasm then this is the book for you.
