The All New Book & DVD Review Thread (And Gift Hints)

[Barman]

Books wot I have read on holiday, so far:-

Odd Hours by Dean Koontz. Very good.

The Good Guy by Dean Koontz, also very good.

Broken by Moira someone - excellent gritty, London gangland, drug and prostitution book. Depressingly believable. Language to make a docker blush though.

Currently reading McMafia by Misha Glenny. Factual about the rise of global crime syndicates.

Broken is written by Martina Cole all her books are based on gangland/murders/prostitution/ etc etc i read em all there brilliant! made me blush at times too...

I bet!

Thank you Mrs TG for confirmation of Martina Cole. I tend to forget female authors names, as I generally only relate them to romantic tosh or guidance on the household chores they should perform ;-)

Tinman - I've been watching it (download on Top up TV) It's a very good re-imagination of the OZ story. Worth getting.

Watched it last night - awesome film IMHO...

Keira Knightley is  the story is excellent, photography fantastic - breathtaking overall.

Coincidentally, I'm just reading this: -



Which brought the scene on bray dunes even closer to life having just read about action there and the terrible conditions.

A 'must watch'.

What site are you posting those links from BM, the company firewall is blocking them and it lets Amazon through? 

[Snoopy]

I'll leave it to BM to tell you he is posting them from Amazon 

[Barman]

I am posting them from Amazon...

[Snoopy]

Told you so 

[Grumpmeister]

Is that Amazon the official site or the 'Amazon' online shop run by some dodgy Cypriot landlord with hair problems
