Advantages: Easy read and enjoyable subject matter Disadvantages: A bit of an obvious lead character
enough attention was Johnny's Grandmother. Here was the only strong influence in Johnny's life but it lasted for a fleeting moment. I find it hard to believe she would have ended her interest in Johnny the moment he went back to live with his Mother.
Having said all this, the book is enjoyable and raised a good few smiles throughout. It wasn't quite as funny as I would have expected given this is a novel from Julian Clary and the promising premise.

On my recent holiday to Malta i stayed in Le Meridien Hotel, located in Saint Julian's. I would not normally have stayed in a 5 star hotel, but I was lucky enough to win some money towards a holiday from the company that I work for. Obviously, with free money, you are going to push the boat out a bit, and I am glad we did!!
Location/Area
We arrived at the hotel in the dark, quite late on a Friday night. The taxi brought us round a few small streets and then up quite a steep hill, thus bringing us to the reception of the hotel. My first impression was that it was in quite a strange location, but this is because i had only just seen where we were, and also it was dark, so everything seems different. The doors to the reception are round the back of the hotel and on the ground level floor.
The hotel itself is situated on top ...
Advantages: Catchy songs for any indie fan Disadvantages: A few weaker songs on the second half of the album
The Young Knives have recently gained more exposure on radio stations and having caught the end of a set at Reading festival I decided to give this album a try and have thoroughly enjoyed it, playing it on repeat on my CD player since then. It sees the band's follow up to the full length album The Voices of Animals and Men (2006).
The album starts of very strongly with the first song "Up all Night," which is the strongest song on the album. It is three minutes of catchy indie rock from start to end. Perfect for an upbeat song that could be a favourite on any dance floor.

Album Notes
Best known for fronting The Strokes - one of the most successful and critically-acclaimed bands this side of the millennium - Julian Casablancas' laid back vocal style is as crucial to his music as any instrument. 'Phrazes For The Young', his first solo record, is something of a departure for the New Yorker. Taking influence from eighties electronic music with seventies prog rock undertones, single '11th Dimension' is as infectious and well-crafted as modern pop gets, setting the tone for this dazzling album.
