great

A great translation of classic literature from a poet who himself will be considered as a classic writer. <br />The play itself is well known, but this translation manages to keep the classic language, and add a modern undertone. This tone never intrudes on the work, but enhances its constant rrelevance.

Its okay

I purchased this because its a kids classic, but for a fun read my child prefers 'we're going on a bear hunt' so do I. Spot the character is only entertaining for a short period.

A streetcar named desire

I brought this book for my daughter who needed it for school. She was pleased with the book but not how much the postage cost as she needed it quick. Although the book came very quick we paid over the odds.

The Faber Book of Beasts

This was bought as one of the set books the the Open University AA100 course. It has some lovely poetry in it, all about animals.

Was Mr Rochester really such a hero?

I've recently reread Wide Sargasso Sea after many years. I think Jean Rhys is a wonderfull writer; first class imagination; evokes the landscape of the Windward Islands to such an extent you can feel it and smell it. Her sympathy clearly lies with the first Mrs Rochester who she portrays as a woman scorned and abused and ultimately turned to madness by the men who have surrounded her since she was a child.<br /><br />If we are to accept Jean Rhys's imaginative portrayal of Rochester and Bertha then he had a long time to repent of his treatment of his first wife but presumably found redemption in Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre.<br /><br />In my opinion Jean Rhys is one of the finist writers of the 20th Century and is much overlooked.

Winnie The Pooh Complete Collection of Stories Review

This book is a fantastic buy for young and older children alike. It was purchased at a very reasonable price from Amazon and is one of A.A Milne's classics. Any child will be kept intrigued for hours on end, whether reading it for themselves, or being read to at bedtime. The stories are timeless and most amusing. Every family should have a copy.

Of Mice and Men

It's an easy to follow book, but maybe the authors focused solely on the"visual" style of leaners, there are too many pictures and colours and sometimes finding the text itself can be hard. Apart from that it suitable for a GCSE level.
