• Great Holiday Reads – The Difficult Second Book by Chris Moyles

  Date: 2010.09.05 | Category: Book reviews, Holiday reading | Response: 0

  If you are looking for some light relief on your holiday then this may be the perfect travel companion.

  Chris Moyles is the self proclaimed saviour of Radio One and millions of us wake up every day to listen to his banter with the team. This is not a new book and not even his first but it is still a fun insight in to what it is to be a celebrity in the UK.  It also gives you a glimpse of the double life Mr Moyles leads… one minute radio and TV funny man, the next someone who would rather be at home on his couch with the Xbox…. but he doesn’t want the pizza delivery firm to know he is at home alone!

  It is fun, light hearted and, if you are a fan like us, like him even more.  As he points out at the beginning this is the perfect book for a flight, we would recommend it as a pleasant change from the holiday novels.

• Great holiday reading – True Blue by David Baldacci

  Date: 2010.09.01 | Category: Holiday reading | Response: 0

  We are huge David Baldacci fans, having read and delighted in ALL of his previous books, so it was with great excitement and anticipation that we started on his latest blockbuster this summer.

  And, we are pleased to say, that it didn’t disappoint. Although built around brand new characters compared to his previous books… the lead character – Mace Perry a maverick cop – has you on her side quickly and after that it is a fast paced race for justice.

  Brief overview of the plot: Mace, a Washington DC cop is framed for a crime losing everything… career, freedom etc. After 2 years she is free and determined to prove her innocence to get back to her beloved police force.

  Roy Kingman, a young DC lawyer, discovers a dead body in a fridge and his life quickly becomes entangled with Mace as they enter unexpected and dangerous territory while trying to solve the crime and stay alive.  There are twists and turns a plenty through to its dramatic finale.

  Overall

  A real page turner.  If you have read a Baldacci before you will love it, if you haven’t then this is a great place to start.
