Having just read three Kiss books I was unsure what I could possibly gain by reading this book but I have to say I really enjoyed it. I was attracted by its size and the short timespan it was covering. Overall however the pace we really good. There was one point before it moved on…

Look Wot I Dun: Don Powell of Slade – Don Powell, Lise Lyng Falkenberg
It is quite some time since I have read a book on Slade so this was a good if a little odd read. It was not really by Don and it was not written as if it was by Don. Lise use Don’s diaries (which he has kept since his car crash caused a short…
Kiss Trilogy
I have just completed reading a trilogy of books on Kiss. At Christmas I got Face the Music: A Life Exposed – Paul Stanley Paul has always been my favourite in Kiss and I was particularly impressed with his Autobiography. I believe it was ghost written by Tim Mohr and he has done a really…
The Heart of Mathematics: An invitation to effective thinking by Edward B. Burger and Michael Starbird
One day I was getting the lawn mower out to cut the grass and my mind puzzled over the lead which was as usual knotted. Normally I just pull it through end to end but this time I was convinced there was a better way of doing it. I remembered reading something about counting loops…
Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen By Christopher McDougall
One of my clients recommended this book to me when I mentioned I had a knee problem running. I thought the concept of Barefoot running sounded really odd and although I enjoyed the film “Chariots of Fire” I have never had interest in watching running or reading about running. I just love running. So I…

Various Reviews
Here are the my opinions of the books I have been reading. I started writing reviews because I wanted to praise Woman In Whitle on Amazon.co.uk. As I often the case I thought it might then be nice to have a record what I thought of books when I read them so I have continued….
John Wyndham
John Wyndham and Wilkie Collins are probably my two favourite authors. I have read all Wyndham’s novels so I moved on to his short stories and had a lot of trouble indentifying which book which story comes in so I therefore started to compile the data in a database. A lot of this stuff is…
The Polio Paradox – Richard L. Bruno H.D., Ph. D.
I read this book because it was recommend by the specialist that originally diagnosed my M.E., Dr Elizabeth Dowsett. She actually gives the book a recommendation on the back cover. I was diagnosed in 1994 and have fairly religiously stuck to her advice but there was only so much information that could be passed to…
Anne Frank: The Diary Of A Young Girl – The Definitive Edition – Anne Frank
This was a fascinating read no wonder it is so famous. It was interesting to see how the Dairy entry changed as she got older and started to mature. The Definitive Edition releases some details previous held back by Otto Frank due to there more personal nature (Nothing to bad in this day and age)….
