3.0 out of 5 stars BiblioLife - Milton's Christian Doctrine, 29 Jan 2011
The product details aren't very clear here: it's not an edited or updated text but literally just a reprint of the 19th century Charles Sumner edition (same font and all), with a modern cover. This is useful for those who, like me, are using the text academically, but might be off-putting for leisurely readers. Although the reproduced contents page lists both volumes, the book actually ends with Volume I. I'd imagine there's a rather narrow audience who would absolutely have to get their hands on both volumes and for whom this would be a problem, but it's better to have the information. Otherwise pleased with my purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Town Called Panic, 7 Nov 2010
This review is from: A Town Called Panic [DVD] (DVD)
A delightfully bizarre claymation film in which you follow the escalating madness of the adventures of Cowboy, Indien and Cheval. I can't see the information on the page, but the version I saw at the cinema was French with English subtitles. It received a definite thumbs-up from a group of 20+ year old students - young children however might find the loose plot confusing. Try the trailer for an idea of what you can expect: [...]

4.0 out of 5 stars White cherry dress, 8 Aug 2010
This is a lovely dress; I bought it to wear for a birthday and I'm very pleased with the fit and the material - it falls to just above the knees and it's neither too 'evening-wear' nor too casual. Delivery speed was excellent - like another reviewer says, it arrived within 36 hours of ordering! I would definitely use Pretty Kitty again.

3.0 out of 5 stars Signet Classic - Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass, 4 Aug 2010
This edition is a good bargain at under £3; it includes the original Tenniel illustrations which give a great feel for the truly bizarre nature of Alice's journey. However, I have a few problems with its blurb, which for a start describes Alice as following a "hasty hare" underground, and spells "imaginitive", well, imaginatively. The essay by Martin Gardner is an okay introduction to the text, if a little preachy: "It's hard to understand, but some adults, including a few peculiar psychologists, think fantasy is bad for children." I bought this edition for my Victorian lit set reading since I usually go for the least pricey edition of each text: for penniless students like myself I would recommend it, but for somebody looking for an edition they can collect and keep in the family, you may like to go for the better quality prints.
