Terrible quality, 22 Jan 2013
These earrings looked so gorgeous onscreen and when discounted for the Black Friday Deals it seemed too good an opportunity to miss! However, when putting them in for the first time, the bar for putting through the piercing bent and the pearl fell off from the base of the earring. It's possible I was unlucky and received a duff pair, but it does make one question the quality of the item, especially when considering the RRP. Do not waste your money on these, no matter how cheap they are during the deals.

Fantasy at its finest., 8 Nov 2006
Really, I'm reviewing all three books in the Circle Trilogy here. As a relative newcomer to fantasy, books like these ones make me want to carry on with that genre. All 3 books contain romance, action, humour, heartache and happiness. The characters are likeable and make you really feel for them. This final book is a wonderful ending to a brilliant series and I highly recommend them all.

A huge disappointment., 29 Jun 2006
Having never read a Ruth Rendell book before, but knowing of her reputation, I thought this would be an ideal starter for her books. How disappointed I was! While no-one can expect incredible storylines in such short books, I found this mind-numbingly boring. The plot was very repetitive and I'm amazed that a book of only 86 pages could have so many slightly differently-worded versions of the same sentence. While I'm sure that Rendell's other books are probably superior to this one, I'd only recommend this story if you have a long journey and nothing better to do.

A British Institution, 24 Mar 2006
Christopher Lee's autobiography was a hugely enjoyable read. This classic actor has a wonderful sense of humour that you don't expect, and also a mischeivious sid ethat seems even more unlikely. The book can be a challenge at times, with a huge amount of information about his family background and days in the RAF. For people who are not familiar with the Italian hierarchy or the workings of the RAF, the first half of the book is difficult to understand, but it goes without saying that Lee has had an incredible life and this comes across in the book. It was wonderful to read such an insightful life-story by one of the greatest living actors that Britain has.

A brilliant read, 24 Mar 2006
Mother and Daughter team, P. J. Tracy, have produced a fantastic book here. The plot is interesting, fast paced and suspenseful. The crime is fantastic and, full of little jokes and quips, it's also a good read from a comedic point of view. The characters are easy to like, even the hard-shelled Grace MacBride, and the detective, Magozzi, is a brilliant character who is easy to imagine as a real person. This book keeps you guessing till the end. I highly recommend that any crime readers give it a try.

All Time Classic, 6 Feb 2006
This ranks, for me, among the best of all the romantic films out there. Rarely have I seen a period piece so moving. By the end of this film I was a jibbering wreck! The cast are excellent in their roles, most notably the two leads, Helena Bonham Carter and Cary Elwes. Even though this is Probably not the most accurate account of Lady Jane's fate, it is still highly enjoyable. I strongly recommend it!
