If you like your thrillers slickly written and sharply observed, don?t read Down River.
If you appreciate acute characterisation and believable action, don?t read Down River.
Enjoy engaging dialogue, convincing back-stories and clever plotting? Probably best you don?t read Down River.
However, if none of the above applies, and you prefer clumsily written mysteries, a worn-out thesaurus and plot holes you can climb through, then by all means, this is a book to savour. Some books and films (and people, for that matter) have quite mystifying levels of success, and John Hart?s second novel is very much one of these. I?m not sure whether Richard & Judy?s Summer Reads is a mark of high-calibre literature, but they make some pretty solid choices, more or less. This being ?less?.
Down River is a tale of murder, more murder and comin ...
Advantages: Great sound and fantastic lyrics - a beautiful album. Disadvantages: Too short!!! You'll wish it was twice as long and you'll put it on repeat!
*******Your Big Day - John Egdell*******
This is a first album for the Newcastle based singer song-writer. After hearing him play live, and buying a copy of his album, I can't help but write favourably of this greatly inspirational artist. He does with music what I try to do with paint and canvas, and he does it with a quiet grace that is not often evident in the up-and-coming music scene. I hope I do his work justice in this review!
***The Artist***
John Egdell is a man of much talent. Born in Gateshead, he has spent much of his life fiddling about with music, and guitars in general, though as far as I know, there's not much by way of musical instruments he can't play. Give him a shaky-egg and he'll blooming shake it and by god there'll be rhythm and blues somewhere in the noise it makes!
Quite simply, he is a gentleman ...
Advantages: Great descriptions of the times, Australia Disadvantages: None
The Secret River
London 1806 - William Thornhill, happily wedded to his childhood sweetheart Sal, is a waterman on the River Thames. Life is tough but bearable until William makes a mistake, a bad mistake for which he and his family are made to pay dearly. His sentence: to be transported to New South Wales for the term of his natural life.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is the book of the month at our book club and is probably not a book I would have chosen for myself but is an extremely interesting portrail into life for people in that age and of the two countries.
This story is basically in two parts, Will's London life and then his Australian life. The two are most definitely linked to each other but in terms of Will's and Sal's feelings and adventures they are worlds apart, or you could say continents apart. The story ...
