Advantages: Title Disadvantages: Dull stories, with lack of detail and immagination
pleased with myself when I completed it, I felt I had achieved something as my enjoyment level had been very low all the way through them.
I must be completely honest; I really do struggle with American authors in general and despite this being an Englishman he wrote in a style I associate with them. They write about a place I have never been and a culture I do not completely understand and what I do know I don?t particularly like. So I may well be a bit prejudice in my assessment of this book so please forgive me for that.
The first story, I probably found this one the hardest to read and to understand or relate to. This in part could be because of my lack of historical knowledge about the period of 1776.

What is lacking, however, is the enthusiasm one picked up on in Fabian's 2000 album. She was clearly disillusioned ...
Advantages: Good quality puzzles, clear pictures, varying difficulties Disadvantages: None
That time of year is coming around again, and much quicker than I would like to be honest! Yes, I mean Christmas, and as ever the hunt for suitable Christmas presents for Harry has started. I've told myself not to go too mad this year, and have so far stuck to that which I am proud of! I have been enjoying reading reviews on here of things that could be possible pressies for Harry, and thought I should share some of my recommendations too as I know every idea helps, especially when they want every single item in the Argos book to go on their Christmas lists!
The Wonder Pets is the latest phenomenon in our house, and the only thing Harry is writing to Father Christmas for so far is the flyboat from the television series. I've already got that one which is really handy, but I've been looking for extra things too. The show is only Nick Jr ...
