This book was perfect for dipping in and out of. Something you could keep on you bedside table to read when you're in-between books, or to pop in your beach bag during your summer jollies.

Charming and funny. 
English literature teachers might try to ram it down your throat and force you to write interminable essays on it. Ignore them for they are disciples of satan. An intersting account of Strummer's life. Lot's of references to people without any explanation of who they are. insightful none Wonderfully written, full of Dahl's delightful storytelling ability All too swiftly read Brilliantly written, amusing and fascinating Not quite as charming as its predecessorGirl on the Platform - Josephine Cox
Short. £1.99. Plot holes, rushed second half, stereotyped characters, relies too much on "Awww" factor
Thrifty Ways For Modern Days - Martin Lewis
Will definately save you money! cant think of any!
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Afterimage - Pierce Askegren
Quick read, return to familar characters, characterisation decent, good size for bags Broadband in 1997??? Simple plot
English Grammar In Use - Raymond Murphy
Beautifully clear explanations and helpful exercises None
The New Avengers Volume 4: Collective - Brian Michael Bendis
*******'s back! This story's too big for five chapters.

excellent illustration Aimed at a more mature reader

Heroes extracted from their normal surroundings. Less well known DC charactres used in some parts.

The Favoured Child - Philippa Gregory
Dreams and Dreaming - Lisa Tenzin-Dolma
Very nice plush covered book. Very basic. Very lacking. Information not as useful as it should be with dream interpretation.
