Love And Distance - Helio Sequence

Keeps You At a Distance

Advantages: Appendices make this a useful reference work
Disadvantages: No real insight as the author was kept at a distance.

read the book with some of Joy Division's music in the background, as it can help to underline the points about Ian Curtis' state of mind. However, it does say something about the book that the best insights into the man come from the work of the man himself and not from the words of the author. The distance that Ian Curtis kept his wife at for much of their lives together not only had an adverse affect on their marriage, but has also had an adverse affect on this book. This is a slightly amended version of a review previously published under my name at www.thebookbag.co.uk ...

Review of Touching From a Distance - Deborah Curtis

Can Long Distance Love Work?

Advantages: emotional, great characters and story, very easy to read
Disadvantages: Hours of sleep lost by not being able to put it down!

here when John is having to say goodbye to the one person whop has ever went anything to him, will their relationship be able to survive the long distance and the whole 12 months away and just what effect with the attacks on American on 11th September have on John and his friends? Will John ever get to have a relationship with his father? I really have become a fan of Nicholas Spark?s books, this one being the 4th I have read now. I found the previous ones to be very involving and emotional and I have to say that this one was just as good. The main character in this story is John who we learn a lot about. I did feel very sorry for him at the start of the book as he seemed very lost and angry with his father but I am glad he mellowed and changed as the story moved on. I loved how Nicholas bought the character to life in the way he wrote ...

Review of Dear John - Nicholas Sparks

Hurting distance - Sophie Hannah

Advantages: A good Read
Disadvantages: I have to wait till next year for her next book

Hurting Distance - Sophie Hannah I bought this book at my local Tesco on a buy two for £7.00 deal and it was well worth it. I'm an avid reader and have read about 12 books this month of all different types. I tend to pick books by reading the back cover and then the first page and if it grips me immediately then I can't leave it behind. The back of this book says "Three years ago, something terrible happened to Naomi Jenkins - so terrible she never told anyone" and the first page is an email she has written to a website called "Speak out and Survive"; you know then from the first page what Naomi's secret is, she's been raped. No I'm not giving the plot away, far from it, that's what I thought as well when I read it. I then though oh well; I'll give it a go anyway. The next chapter is about a man she is deeply in love ...
