 ... whole different ball game. I am sure her pain was the same, but I feel it must be a much lighter cross to bear when you can do it with endless amounts of love and support from your family and friends, you can still hold down a job, live in expensive comfortable homes and have financial support from not only your job, a very healthy bank account, and wealthy parents.

Wonderfully written, friendly account of Katharine Hepburn's life Far too short...

A good insight into Collina and the world of a referee in general The translation is a little confusing and long winded, A little disjointed

humorous, well written, evocative probably not a good read if you're a tory


Very detailed, very well written. A little short and quick.

Interesting read, great anti-drugs message, informative. Needs to be proof-read better, could do with more details on her life in general.
