Mango

I love books, not quite with the passion I love CDs, but nonetheless still a great love. So, there I was browsing through our beloved Dooyoo when an advertising banner caught my eye. Now as much as this was incredible in itself, as I have an amazing talent for ignoring banners, but it told me great tales on wonderful books for a mere fifty of my hard earned pence! Worth a look, I thought so I clicked right on it. I soon landed in the world of Mango. Now the name looked a little familiar and at first I thought I was confusing it with the clothes shop on Oxford Street and in the Trafford Centre (Manchester). Then it dawned on me... I had been at ...  Read the complete review

I was a little dubious about joining a book club as people often seem to be very critical of them, so it seems only fair that I say that my experience of Mango has been without problems so far. Not the best of starts, as my introductory book was left in my dustbin - it was a relatively new one and had been emptied that morning, but even so I didn't find that acceptable. However, that was the fault of the delivery company rather than Mango. I didn't actually want that particular book, so I listed it on Amazon Marketplace and sold it within twenty-four hours at a very decent price, considering Mango only charged me 99p for it. Since then I have ...  Read the complete review

If I had to describe myself in any context, one thing that would surely come up would be the fact that I am a book-sinner. This simply meaning that I spend far too much of my time reading books to the detriment of all other meaningful life tasks, household chores, personal hygiene (only kidding) etc. Saying this, the day was bound to come when I would assign myself to a bookclub (cheap books even if JUST part of introductory offers are too good to miss) and Mango was the first one I joined. Talking currently, the opening deal with Mango (as going right to press) is that you can take advantage of 5 books for just 50p each (you also get a free book ...  Read the complete review

Ever since the age of two, when I’d sit in my wooden swiss chalet in the garden, surrounded with Enid Blyton books, I’ve always been an avid reader. I’m the sort of person who, wherever I’m going, always has to pack a book in case of emergencies – being kept waiting for a train for example! Consequently, because I get through books so quickly, I’ve been on the look out for many years for ways to acquire them more cheaply. Before I became such a frequent net user, I was always keen to join bookclubs, since books were usually cheaper here than on the high street. One such bookclub was Mango. Mango is very similar in setup to ...  Read the complete review

I have read the terrible write ups Mango has had on here and have responded but felt it was time to put fingers to the keyboard and tell the other side of the Mango story. I was happily searching one day on the net and came across a site called Mango- ahh books so quickly i clicked and arrived at the website. This was back in around february this year...it was advertising so many books for so much and a free book to boot - the catch was to buy 4 books within your first year of membership. EASY for me i read books like no tomorrow. So i clicked away on things like Sushi for beginners and some others (can't remember them now but they were good)...he ...  Read the complete review
