This is why people say E-Books are Crap

“WORST BOOK EVER! Seriously. Do not read this. At times I drove the people around me crazy with my complaining about how truly awful this book is. So why did I read it? you ask. Because hopefully this review will prevent some poor soul from being tricked into reading it. I've never been this harsh in” read more

“LOVED this book. Picked it up at a second hand book shop in Hamsted, which feels like years ago. It exceeded my expectations and my mum (whose read A LOT of books in her time and her opinion to me and many friends means a lot) loved it too! I also enjoy googling a book after reading and at the time ” read more

One of the finest Carols you'll ever hear

“Charles Dickens' most popular tale has seen so many incarnations on big and small screens, stage, radio and any other media platform you can think of that it's hard to imagine any new version bringing much to it but dreary over-reverence or wild departures. Amazingly, this truly superb reading by To” read more

“This was a hard one for me to rate. I feel like giving it three stars isn't quite accurate because people percieve 3 stars as average but for me it means exactly what it says. I liked it. I didn't really like it, but it was better than okay. Maybe 3.25 stars.

Anyway, overall the book w” read more

“A volte non sembra neanche un libro di Pynchon, anche se è vero che possiamo trovarci: personaggi a bizzeffe con la tendenza a sparire per pagine su pagine e poi ritornare a sorpresa; le droghe che scorrono a fiumi, a parte eroina e cocaina un po’ in ombra le altre – che siano naturali o sintet” read more

“How does a nice Italian boy from Queens turn his passion for food and wine into an empire?

In his winning memoir, Restaurant Man, Joe Bastianich charts his culinary journey from working in his parents’ red-sauce joint to becoming one of the country’s most successful restaurateurs. Joe ” read more

Italian Language, A Guide to Mistakes

“Aldo Gabrielli was an Italian linguist, quite an authority in his field of studies. His book "Il museo degli errori" (literally: "The Museum of Errors", a wordplay from "orrori", horrors, to "errori", errors) is a guide to avoiding usual mistakes in spelling, usage, style, pronunciation... and an in” read more

“I believe this was originally written as "The Freedom Trap", but was Filmed as the "The Mackintosh Man" starring Paul Newman and Dominique Sanda. Can't comment on the Movie, as I saw only part of it and long ago. But the book is excellent. Great plot build and a tense thriller.” read more

“Herriot skillfully depicts country life in the Yorkshire Dales during World War II as he and his senior Partner Siegfried Farnon handle the often odd Veterinary demands of the local populace. Even for a non Brit like myself, the description of the Dales are so evocative, that one almost feels like o” read more

“A very good book. Hugh Laurie can not only act, but has a deft touch for a detective story. He keeps the suspense well in the tradition of earlier Brit authors like Maclean & Bagley. Recommended read!” read more

“Even though this compilation has some good short stories (like "Password Incorrect", the one that gives name to the book), the overall quality is pretty low. If you're a geek, I would recommend starting to read it and throw it away as soon as you feel the stories are getting dumber.” read more

“As far as sequels go, this was a pretty good one. Less smutty than the first which I appreciated, but in a way less fresh. Maybe it's because I read them so close together. Anyway, I'm glad they finally shed just a little light on the octopus thing and the mystery was just as interesting and compell” read more

“Given that the only review posted for this masterpiece is nothing more than childish rantings that includes the phrase "cat piss shit", I feel I ought to give my own opinion on this wonderful novel to balance things out.

There is a lot that can be said about "Gravity's Rainbow", but the on” read more
