Enjoyed this book from start to end. The type of book to have by your bedside at night. Will pass to my children when slightly older....The author introduced me in to the wonderful world of nursery rhymes. When I purchased this book, Amazon recomended buying "Now Then Lad"!! This also is a fantastic read.

Every time I fall into the 'Autobiography' trap, I swear I will never be caught again. Just because someone has led an interesting/extraordinary life, it does not follow that they can share this with us in writing! Craig Revel Horwood's book illustrates the point. Dreary, dull, lifeless writing. Craig.....you needed a ghost writer, or at the very least a crash course in creative writing! Borrow a copy before you buy....wish I had!

153.A Mercy by: Toni Morrison October 30, 2008

In her latest novel Toni Morrison takes us back to the late 17th century America. The plot gives her an opportunity to present America in the making, there is no US yet, there are colonies, each somewhat different in their culture, religion or attitude to slavery. Morrison adroitly shapes the plot in such a way as to give the reader at least an impression of the variety that once was America, sending her characters on distant voyages. The differences are the most clearly visible in the opposition between Maryland and New York yet the choice of character also helps Morrison to stress the diversity of American roots. And yet "A Mercy" is not just a historical novel. The setting is important but Morrison seems much more interested in her ... Read More:

154.John Lennon: The Life by: Philip Norman October 01, 2008

I have not read any other book about John Lennon so i cannot comment on the claims of "hackery" and my views are therefore only based on my reading of this book alone. And what a book. A brilliant read, very interesting details about his early life but also the book weaves the genesis of various songs and albums into the various stages of Lennon's life. I agree that the Yoko Ono years are slightly less interesting, however the final chapter, where Sean discusses some of his memories of John is really moving, sensitive and perceptive. Superb. A bout of flu has helped me devour the book in 4 days! I couldn't put it down. Wonderful.

A nice hardback, with a good feel to the paper and binding. And this is just the kind of book you would want in hardback, as you will probably dip in for many years to come. These are rather spare, often unconnected musings. Unconnected in the sense that, unlike in his "Waterlog" or "Wildwood", there is no particular theme. But as he is a pretty holistic person, there are links and mental ley-lines all over the place, so the musings flow into each other smoothly, like water off a spinning ball. It is nice to see the links to his other books: swimming in the moat, memories of Kyrgyzystan. After water and wood I find myself looking for the third leg of a trilogy, a common theme. That is not there. He comes back to water, and to wood, and ... Read More:

156.Preserves: River Cottage Handbook No.2 (River Cottage Handbook 2) by: Pam Corbin August 04, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £12.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.44 You Save: £4.55 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £7.79
While I agree with all the positive comments about this book. I have one issue to raise, in the intro Hugh explains that due to restrictions placed upon them, sadly some of the recipes had to be culled. Yet when I compare it to the first River Cottage Guide on Mushrooms it is significantly thinner than that volume. It occurs to me that this may be simply a cynical marketing ploy to allow for a follow up book. All things being equal I find that level of commercial greed distasteful. Which is a real shame, because overall the quality of this collection is superb and they are precisely what I require a one subject volume that sticks to the point.

157.Leon: Ingredients and Recipes by: Allegra McEvedy October 13, 2008

One of the most original cookbooks I've bought in a long time! Leon: Ingredients and Recipes is an absolute delight, both in terms of its recipes, which are healthy and utterly seductive, but also (and perhaps more so), it's design concept, which imaginatively reinterprets that of the Leon eateries. With its interactive pull-out elements, retro motifs, and quirky styling, it is, quite simply, the best fun you can have with a cookbook, without it actually being edible. Heartily recommend for fans, and for those, like me, for whom the book was the inspiration for a first visit.

Wow! I finished reading this at 1 am last night. I was gripped from the start. It has a really simple style, but manages to get in a great deal of technical stuff, moving and funny human stories, and a bit of background on the British Army presencein Afghanistan. The flying and combat sequences are great, and the final showdown is terrific. By far the best book on modern combat I have read for years.

159.The Olivetti Chronicles by: John Peel October 23, 2008

A great nostalgic read. Perfect for the 40 somethings who can recall many of the events featured in the articles which were written in the 70s. It will jog your memory to forgotten bands, such as Snafu. I can remember them playing the Ipswich Gaumont around 1975. Living in Suffolk, I still find it hard to believe that John is not around, I used to see him accommpanying Sheila to matches at Portman Road on occasions. Such a great man.

160.My England Years: The Autobiography by: Bobby Charlton September 18, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £20.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £11.81 You Save: £8.19 (41%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £19.99
This is the second part of Sir Bobby Charlton's fascinating autobiography. In the first, "My Manchester United Years", he provided a lot of moving personal insight into, for example, his trauma post-Munich air disaster, how the club dealt with the other surviving players and their families, and his, at times, difficult relationship with his mother and brother. In other words it was a personally revealing book. This second part, by comparison, is in many ways more typical of a footballer's autobiography, focusing on match details and brief, albeit personal, pen pictures of the characters involved. For regular consumers of books covering this era of football there is little new or surprising here. Despite this, the book is well-written, thoughful and ... Read More:
