171.An Utterly Impartial History of Britain: (or 2000 Years of Upper Class Idiots in Charge) by: John O'Farrell May 05, 2008

I really enjoyed this book . Obviously you can't expect to have a very detailed account of 2000 years of history in just over 500 pages, but I found it informative in that there were a lot of things I didn't know. OK, perhaps some of them weren't really worth knowing, and maybe the historica acuracy was questionable in places, but as a light-hearted 'potted history' I thought it worked well. Humour is very subjective and I see that several reviewers of this book didn't think it was at all funny, but I was quite amused and after I'd read out several 'funny bits' to my husband he decided he had to read it for himself. He wasn't as enthusiastic as me as he prefers more heavyweight reading, but I really enjoyed it. As someone else has said, ... Read More:

173.Criminology by: Tim Newburn August 31, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £31.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £28.79 You Save: £3.20 (10%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £41.15
Newburn's `Criminology' is the last word in criminology textbooks. Enjoyable to read, comprehensive and authoritative, Newburn's `Criminology' is a real subject `bible'. Newburn's highly accessible style means that complex information is explained clearly without losing depth. The plentiful, varied and original illustrations help to bring concepts, writers and the subject as a whole to life. An excellent resource throughout a criminology degree, Newburn's `Criminology' represents absolute value for money and I highly recommend it to all criminology students.

174.The Reluctant Fundamentalist by: Mohsin Hamid April 24, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.94 You Save: £4.05 (51%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.00
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

175.Indignation by: Philip Roth September 05, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £16.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £10.19 You Save: £6.80 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £10.02
One of the central motifs of the Roth oeuvre is human hysteria, usually depicted in tragic, comic or (more often) tragicomic terms. Witness the youthful neurosis of "Portnoy's Complaint"; the celebrity circus of "Zuckerman Unbound"; the macho-man collapse of "Sabbath's Theatre"; and the senescent, fatalistic angst of "The Dying Animal", "Everyman" and "Exist Ghost" - those short, sharp bullets of Roth's maturity. Here, the frenzied approach to life is embodied in the character of protagonist Marcus Messner's father. Marcus, a 1950's college student, is a source of constant and extreme worry to the old man, a Newark butcher. Why? Well, no reason - and that's the whole point. I guess. "Indignation" is apparently a story about fatalism. The theme ... Read More:

176.Homework for Grown-ups: Everything You Learnt at School... and Promptly Forgot by: E. Foley, B. Coates August 28, 2008

177.A Darker Domain by: Val McDermid September 01, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £18.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.49 You Save: £9.50 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.74
It's great to see McDermid back to form after the terrible Grave Tattoo. A gripping read which neatly merges two cases. A bit of a rushed conclusion and the tying up of ends stretches credibility somewhat, but a good way to spend a rainy evening nonetheless.

178.The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by: Mark Haddon March 31, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.62 You Save: £3.37 (42%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.27
I know this book has garnered a large and varied response, ranging from disdain for its unconventional structure and use of vulgar words to an admiration for how it views real life from a detached point of view. However, I found that I rather liked this book, and found it a genuinely touching book. I won't dwell into how Haddon constructs the story, but Haddon's story is thought-provoking and touching at the same time. Haddon's plot questions the disdain we have towards people who are not of our thinking, and his drawing of the characters is so real that you feel as if you could reach out to touch them. I am struck by the way that Haddon draws the character of Christopher, because in some ways he shares many of our frustrations but yet he is still a loveable ... Read More:

Quite apart from its sheer range and depth in tackling its subject, this book is really entertaining. It blows a welcome blast of fresh air through the fragrance business, exposing some of its frailties ('We never change our fragrance formulas' is the lie you hear most often) and gambolling in the glittering light of enthusiasm when reviewing favoured scents. The fragrance reviews are splendidly opinionated, but it's always clear that what's being praised is quality, coherence, balance, rather than 'niceness', so you're still free to exercise your own preference when you're shopping. I'm particularly impressed by the authors' recognition of the part appearance and presentation play in our enjoyment of fragrance, so they tell you when the packaging is the best thing about a scent, ...
