Advantages: Interesting story Disadvantages: Not always in chronological order
OK so I'll let you all into a little secret - Debbie Harry was my very first childhood crush. Parallel Lines was the first album that I ever purchased with my pocket money and I still have a vivid memory of Blondie's front woman parading around a stage on Top of the Pops wearing a ripped plastic bin liner and not a lot else. Oh those were the days of my twisted, adolescent fantasies?..
When I recently stumbled across a biography on the pop icon that is Debbie Harry in a charity shop it was inevitable that I was going to part with my 50p, if only to try and recapture some of my childhood dreams and besides I had four plane journeys in a week ahead of me so I needed plenty of reading material.
Platinum Blonde is the title of a portrait of Debbie Harry written by Cathay Che. It was written with Harry's full co-operation and when ...
Advantages: Fascinating story, evocative details, beautiful writing Disadvantages: I didn't want it to end
"A Portrait of a Turkish Family" is an autobiographical work that tells the story of one Ottoman family from the turn of the twentieth century through the First World War and the establishment of Turkey as a republic.
Irfan Orga was the eldest of three children; his mother was born into the harem - as were most women of such standing - and married at the age of thirteen. When the book opens, Irfan and his parents and younger brother live with his paternal grandparents and a host of servants. Orga describes an often idyllic childhood with warmth and humour, depicting the childlike vigour of his mother, the haughtiness of his grandmother and the kindness of the servants. One memorable episode describes a trip to the hamam (Turkish baths) with his mother and grandmother that is like a trip to the beach with the servants instructed to ...
Advantages: Gritty British thriller Disadvantages: A bit full on at the end
If you followed the career path of Michael Caine you might well wonder what happened, from being crowned the King of Cool in movies such as Get Carter, Alfie, and The Italian Job; Caine almost dropped out of the popular movie genre. During the 80?s and 90?s with the odd exception (Educating Rita, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The forth Protocol) his movies were generally bottom end stuff, most of his output in this time is available on super low budget DVD. For Caine however age made him turn a corner, and as the star tentatively spoke about a cameo in popular soap Eastenders, his movie career took of in ways he possibly never realised. With two Batman movies, Children Of Men, and the highly acclaimed Is Anybody There? Behind him Caine now returns in his intriguing movie yet, Harry Brown.
Harry Brown follows a history of popular vigilante ...

Album Reviews
Rolling Stone (12/26/96, p.189) - "...moves gracefully from groundbreaking duets with Gram Parsons to her subtle treatment of songs by writers as diverse as Stephen Foster and Bruce Springsteen. For all of the dulcet, stand-alone clarity of her soprano, Harris sounds best in harmony..." Q (4/97, p.137) - 5 Stars (out of 5) - "...this is a truly comprehensive compilation, Harris's emotive range on these well-chosen songs simply breathtaking." Entertainment Weekly (12/20/96, p.77) - "...A perfect introduction to a maverick who has chosen quality over trends and kept the heart of authentic country music beating." - Rating: A
