G’day & welcome to the bookshfow on radio scilly 107.9fm. My guests today are Ro Bennett and Malcolm Martland. Books on review this week are:
Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony by Eoin (pronounced Owen) Colfer, Old Filth by Jane Gardam, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest Steig Larssen The Greatest Show on Earth Richard Dawkins.
FILTH — Failed in London Try Hong Kong.
Based on Rudyard Kiplings early life ("Baa Baa Black Sheep", written when he was 23, and which describes his experiences as a six-year-old "Raj orphan", sent from Bombay to live in Southsea)
One reviewer of Richard Dawkins book said: On far too many occasions the author launches off into attacks, jibes and generally derogatory remarks about creationists, which are annoying and distracting.
Artemis Fowl: Fairies, demons and technical gadgets.
Steig Larssen :You have read all of these now Malcolm, do you have a favourite, have any let you down in expectation? "No, I would highly recommend the entire 3 books starting with The Girl With The Drgaon Tattoo.."
Next week will be a book show special with an exclusive interview with Terence Frisby, playwright, director, producer and author of ‘Kisses on a Postcard’. Listen to him chat with myself, Babs Simpson & Maggie Perkovic , a lovely, amusing man. You can look him up on his interesting website ‘www.kissesonapostcard.com’ and hear the play and parts from the forthcoming musical.
