guests Brian Lowen & Ro Bennett & welcome to Lynn & Lyndsay who say they are listening over in Holland. I will be reading a review sent to me by Lyndsay later in show. It is a romance book review which is quite apt bearing in mind it is valentines this weekend. BUT 14th Feb is also the start of the Chinese new year this year being the year of the Tiger . What animal are you guys?
Reviews this week are interesting:
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
Cooking With Fernet Branca (how on earth do you pronounce that?) by James Hamilton-Paterson
At Risk by Stella Rimington (ex head of MI5)
The Old Man and Mr Smith by Peter Ustinov
And the one sent to me by Lyndsay Townsend: A Different Kind of Honesty by Jane Richardson.
You certainly find some unusual books to review Ro and Brian.
I loved the comment a reviewer made on Amazon about Fernet Branca: a taste, texture and appearance something like Duckhams 20-50 motor oil. Which I have to say I had never heard of before and in fact thought the book was just a cookery book!
A good tip for 'Water For Elephants': listen to it on audiobook. The two readers, David LeDoux and John Randolph Jones, do a wonderful job of bringing both Jacobs (young and old) to life.
