 John Gregory - The Boss - John Gregory, Martin Swain
Newest Review: ... this is Gregory’s autobiography there is little talk of his early life or as a player where he had a reasonable career, ... more  ... playing under Terry Venables and Bobby Robson. This could be that if he cannot be the best he is not interested, he was also a decent cross-county runner but when he found he cannot keep up with the pace in the national finals he dropped out. He was manager of Portsmouth a long time before Villa, again this was not a successful time so there is very little mention.

Clashes with both players and officials, a fairytale start to the career, a dream turning sour and a chairman who did not get the name ‘Deadly’ Doug Ellis for nothing. ‘The Boss’ is his autobiography that describes his side of events – so named after his love of Bruce Springsteen. I am not a Villa fan, though I was gutted that United were able to come back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 the other day.

Well-written, sympathetic, and with some good pictures. 
Some of the anecdotes he records are cruel. Comprehensive, interesting Nothing major Interesting Not very challenging describes the ins and outs of the music industry, very personal insight some parts are quite emotional Honest and moving account of a dark time from a different perspective, Historically accurate for research purposes, Feminists should love it Overly sentimental and depressing at timesVery long-windedWriting style is often difficult to readThis Year It Will Be Different - Maeve Binchy
The Pillars of the Earth - Ken Follett
Good historical detail Too long, villains a bit pantomime, didn't always feel believable
The Resurrectionist - James Bradley
Authentic look at 1830's London, England. So rich you can almost smell it... Ends a little abruptly and a little unconclusively....
7th Heaven - James Patterson
Better defined characters, tighter plotting, very readable Still very superficial, instantly forgettable, some daft bits to the plot
Sovereign - C.J. Sansom
Historically accurate mystery thriller. None for me, but there may be too much historic detail for some.
Third Girl - Agatha Christie
Interesting story, can be placed in several points in time Some plot holes.
The Man with the Golden Gun - Ian Fleming
Mildly interesting Seems slightly unfinished
