  • The Man Who Forgot His Wife – John O’Farrell

    Wednesday, Feb 11, 2015

    ManWhoForgotWifeThe Man Who Forgot His Wife by John O’Farrell is such an easy read that I consumed its 400 pages in a single day.

    There’s quite a few laugh-out-loud moments. It’s a decent, light read, though perhaps a bit stretched-out.

  • World War Two, A Short History – Norman Stone

    Sunday, Feb 1, 2015

    wwii-Stone-jacket-UK-140x215World War Two, A Short History, by Norman Stone, is a not-too-difficult history of what will hopefully be the last world war.

    It’s sometimes too detailed for me, and more maps would have been helpful, but at 200 pages it’s a manageable explanation of the complex story of this devastating war.

    The book does an excellent job of portraying the monumental scale of the conflict and the enormous devastation and loss of life.  Recommended.

  • Tripwire – Lee Child

    Tuesday, Jan 27, 2015

    Tripwire---Lee---ChildI’ve been loaned another Lee Child novel, Tripwire. It’s my second, and I completed the 500+ pages in just over two, on-holiday days.

    If my reading consisted only of Lee Child novels, I’m sure my brain would turn to mush, but, like the first Lee Child novel I read, this was good holiday reading. I’m sure there will be others in due course, just for the fun of it!
