Selling over 200,000 copies in the UK alone and raising over £50,000 for I CAN, the children’s communication charity, helping all children develop speech, language and communication skills, the original Words For You was an instant success, taking the number one spot on the compilation chart and becoming one of the biggest selling albums of 2009.

As a great fan of the first edition of "Words For You" I was elated to receive this as a surprise Christmas present. The material is less "popular" than that on the first disc but it was enjoyable to hear something less familiar. The only thing stopping this from being a 5 star review was just a couple of not so enjoyable readings by Terence Stamp, though this is probably just my personal taste. It is worth buying this CD for Benedict Cumberbatch's superb interpretation of Keats' "Ode to a Nightingale", accompanied exquisitely by Mahler's 5th Symphony (4th movement - Adagietto). So buy yourself a copy, sit back, listen, relax and enjoy!

I purchased "...The Next Chapter" as a companion for "Words for You" (this, the earlier/first cd) because i had so enjoyed the countless, famous poetic lines read by various well-knowns accompanied by some excellent classical masterpieces. If you also, like myself, own "Words for You 1" (that's 1 as i call it), why not buy "number 2" - it's pleasing to the ears and mind. Just close your eyes, wear some good headphones to block out the world, and relax and dream for an hour or so ...you know you deserve it!!

I enjoyed the first CD 'Words for You' so much I was eager to buy the follow-up 'Words for You - the Next Chapter'. However,I was disappointed because I didn't enjoy it as much as its predecessor and it's dificult to pin point precisely why. It just didn't hit the spot the way the first one had - I can't fault the poems or the performers. I think it was the choice of the accompianing nmusic that for me wasn't as good as that on 'Words for You. An enjoyable CD none the less and one I would recommend to all lovers of poetry.

Not Quite As Good
I enjoyed the first album so much that there was inevitably going to be some disappointment when this particular selection did not live up to its predecessor in my mind. Read more

Words for You, The Next Chapter
I bought the first Words for You and my mother and I love it, so it was inevitable to get the second. We have not been disappointed. It is so calming and relaxing.

words for you the next chapter
Loved the first album, some of the music on this CD could have been quieter, but worth buying for Benedict Cumberbatch reading Ode to a Nightingale alone
