Was in a books for donations charity box so stuck in £1. Quite interesting for a student of penal institutions though most known.

Does the Newcastle regression follow a similar curve to the England regression?
Tactical naivety, later succeeded by a brolly?

Currently 55% through this (first time on a Kindle really).

It's alright. Can't make my mind up about the author - there are some funny moments, but it just feels like it's a massive effort from him to make something mildly amusing.

Lots of interesting history and having visited NZ 5 years ago, it's interesting to read another's view on some of the places I went to.

So far 6 out of 10, and it was FREE, so cannae really complain.

A page turner

Not terribly well written, but hard to put down

Actually I did put it down for quite a while.

I've finished it now

What a fucking shit ending - I feel cheated.

First Cole I've read, seen her on some TV stuff. Family east end gangster stuff over many years. Enjoyable enough easy page turner, 400+ pages read in a few nights, but no great shakes. But it's family innit. According to Mr Wiki, voted her favourite book, hmm. A Carlos 6/10.

Quite interested in seeing the Tom Hardy version done for Sky in 2009. Youtube version apparently has the start and end missing, but a full version on putlocker I might watch over the next few days.

As off to hear the 'A is for Arsenic' talk at Barts Pathology lab on 18 November and see the exhibits, sold out now: http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/a-is-for- ... 8020234005 thought best to read some Christie. Ebay £2.00:



1984 edition and still had 'Nigger Island' and the 'Ten Little Niggers' nursery rhyme as opposed to 'Ten Little Indians' or 'Ten Little Soldiers'. 192 pages, read in a sitting last night. Straight into it yarn, did not guess whodunnit and missed obvious clues after reading up after. Like the straightforwardness of characterisation. According to a recent poll, voted her favourite book, hmm. A Carlos 7/10.

Quite interested in seeing the various films and the BBC as part of her 125th anniversary have filmed a star studded version for over Christmas.

Next up, got the collection of Dexter books, liked and disliked the series as per posts, so will start from the beginning and see.

I quite like him, a bit like a Louis Theroux documentary in book form.

Early days, but pretty good...

I like him. All of his books are good, he used to do some TV stuff too.
