Thinking Of You - The Ultimate Escapist Read
Jill Mansell, unlike other writers in the rom-com arena, seems to get better with every book she writes. Thinking of You is her latest offering and proves that it is possible to get better with age!

Ginny Holland, a best selling author if left rattling around in her house on her own after daughter Jem goes to university. Lonely, she advertises her spare room for rent. Instead of a happy roommate, she gets moaning Laurel who is still hung up on her ex-boyfriend. If that wasn’t enough, Ginny finds herself lusting after two men who can only be bad for her. Will Ginny get the man of her dreams, or will he be the one that gets away?

Mansell has a disarming ability to create characters that you already know and that tends to make her books impossible to put down. This book is no different. It is charmingly written, hopelessly funny and will make you forget all of your own troubles as soon as you read the first page.

2008-09-16 Lighten up! It's only History/Humour/Polemic....

Oh dear! the last reviewer seems to have had a sense of humour bypass - common among those on the political right, I find.

Mark Steel's book is humorous, polemical, history-lite. If readers want to read a more serious history of the French Revolution, there are many available, not at all dry or dusty, and Steel references them in his bibliography. If they want something easy and amusing, offering an outline of the key facts and characters, to read on the beach, then they could do a lot worse than this. Heck, there's even fun to be had trying to identify which songs are the sources of the Clash lyrics that preface each chapter!

Of course, if traditional or royalist history is your thing, this book may not be good for your blood pressure. But Comrade Steel's political inclinations are hardly a secret, and he doesn't hide them here. The political bias that exists in many straight history books (and TV history programming) tends to be a lot more insidious.
