Advantages: powerful, thought provoking Disadvantages: not a beach read
's twisted ideal of what an ideal German should be. Due to this it is difficult to see past the Nazis as cold blooded inhumane monsters. The Dark Room by Rachel Seiffert challenges our perceptions of who the Nazis were.
This powerful, thought provoking book is less a novel more a collection of three seemingly unlinked novellas exploring German attitudes to the Second World Wat, the Nazi regime and the Holocaust.
The first story is set in Berlin before and during the Second World War. Helmut is born musing muscles in his chest and thus has a withered arm. Due to this he is not able to conscript in the German Army. Instead he becomes a photographer observing and documenting life in wartime Berlin.. I found this story the least emotionally involving as Helmut seems a little bit simple and although there are clues to the darker side of what was ...
Advantages: Not appropriate Disadvantages: not appropriate
food purposes! So you would have to add, to that vast total, a large amount for the ?food producing? rape! I can imagine most of Europe?s countryside turning into a sea of waving yellow brassicas!
There are other issues, such as the ease of cross pollination and the GM saga. Growing rape in such vast quantities could compromise our more traditional farming by taking over from wheat and barley. I know this worries some farmers.
So overall, as there are alternatives I think I must consign oil seed rape to room 101!
2. SKATER JEANS:
Don?t you just love 15 year olds with their innate sense of style and great fashion sense? Well, I thought my 15 year old daughter could be trusted to go and choose her own jeans a few months ago. I duly handed over £40 of my hard earned dosh and sent her off to town. You wouldn?t think there would be ...

Advantages: It's all about me... Disadvantages: It's all about me...
The second instalment of all things Ratty and I promise this will be the last one too... these things are just too hard to write!! Having said that, I've thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of getting all this down in type, just hope it doesn't bore you all to sleep....
A – ADELAIDE
Those of you who read my reviews regularly will know I have a little bit of an addiction with all things Australian and in particular the state of South Aussie. Figures then that this place should get into my A to Z hey? This is the finest city in the world in my humble opinion. The place is so clean, with wide streets, friendly locals, beautiful parks and a lovely beach area. The first time I went there I fell in love and if I could live there permanently then I’d be over there in a heartbeat. It’s a really weird feeling, but ...

Album Reviews
Entertainment Weekly (9/13/96, p.133) - "...Z pays homage to women of artistic and/or historical signifigance, and features such notable female musicians as orchestrator-conductor Maria Schneider. Z's harmonic language and sense of structure reveal the influence of Wayne Shorter, but she's clearly honing a voice of her own." - Rating: A- Q (9/96, p.124) - 3 Stars - Good - "...she has produced a varied set of mood pieces that take the listener into unusual structural and harmonic territory....The effects are often enjoyable and always intriguing..." Down Beat (3/97, p.50) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...a thoughtfully conceived, brilliantly executed and profoundly heartfelt project that pays homage to 10 triumphant women who have inspired her....A reflective mood pervades the collection as Rachel Z tells stories on her piano..."
