Deception Point - [April 22, 2005]
Like many readers I came to Dan Brown's Deception Point via The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons. Sadly, it doesn't carry the same intrigue as those books yet that shouldn't put a reader off.

Jack: Straight From The Gut - [April 15, 2005]
If you don't like Jack Welch's approach I believe there are interesting lessons about the capabilities of people and what they can bring to business for anybody regardless of the size of company or position you hold within it.

It's very easy to get sucked into the world Dan Brown's novel, The Da Vinci Code.

The Whispering Years - [November 01, 2004]
It's not dull or bland in anyway but, perhaps because there's a little of the 60s hippy left in Bob Harris, you feel the measured approach is entirely appropriate.

An absorbing and very well-written book that proves that people in the public eye and just like the rest of us.

Desert Drag - [January 31, 2004]
A short time after The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert came out, the producer Al clark, wrote a book about the making of the film. I have been meaning to read that book for almost ten years and, finally, I got round to it. [0 comments]

Armistead Maupin - [December 21, 2003]
Accomplish British author, Patrick Gale, wrote a mini-biography of Armistead Maupin's life to date. It's an interesting story of where the Tales series came from and I just submitted my review to Amazon. [0 comments]

Gay Dads - [December 02, 2003]
I don't often re-read books that I have read before but for some reason I decided to re-read Dan Savage's story of the adoption he undertook with his boyfriend, Terry. The second time round it's just as great at the first time I read it. [1 comments]

Downsize This! - [May 07, 2003]
If Stupid White Men has made you think about reading more then this is a good start if you're happy to have many more American examples as the main topic. If you're looking for something a little more British then this is not the book for you.

Stupid White Men - [May 01, 2003]
Probably the most famous of America Liberal thinkers at the moment, Michael Moore is a US treasure and they should treat him as such. Instead, the land of free speach tried to prevent this book being published following the attacks on the World Trade Centre.

How did I end up with a book from a seafood festival?

When Love Comes To Town - [August 13, 2002]
My latest book review!! When Love Comes To TownTom LennonThere are many fictional coming-out tales to choose from, so why this read Lennons? Firstly, there aren't that many set in contemporary Dublin. Secondly, there are not too many told with...

Amazon A-Go-Go - [July 04, 2002]
I love Amazon. They're they way the world should do the online shopping experience. Then again, I hate Amazon. They keep recommending stuff I want so I buy it. But just now, I love them. I got my first two...
