Another great book from my brother. Two stories about the American West, reality and the Hollywood vision. I really enjoyed this - thanks broth!

Beautifully written and impossible to put down. Horror seen through the innocent eyes of a small boy; everyone should read this book.

Really good, but not great. I wasn't able to ignore that I have seen the movies several times, which are better. Worth reading though.

Another great gift from my Dad. I wasn't too interested in Eno, or Roxy Music, which I thought this would be all about. The book was fairly overwhelming to look at, a hefty 439 pages, but I do generally love books like this so I was happy to try and wade through it. Now I've finished it though, I ... (

Brilliant! The not-so-famous Luke Haines ranting at everything and everybody. Bizarre and often very funny.

Again, highly recommended by my brother, this time he got it right. This an excellent book and I'd advise anyone to read it. The author beautifully captures Wyoming and the people who live and work there. A fascinating and moving account of a good man.

This came highly recommended by my brother, whose opinions I respect about books. I found it to be interesting and well written, but certainly not the great book he had promised it would be.

I love this book. I wanted to re-read it after reading the Alex James autobiography, I enjoyed reading it all over again. The story ends, sadly, with blur recording 13. I don't have the updated version - worth buying, anyone?
A must for all blur fans, and for anyone interested in this period of ... (

Not the best book about The Clash by a long shot, but it gets 5 stars for the beautiful photos alone. A must-have for any Clash fan.

Fascinating read, extremely well written. Told through the eyes of a slave, and confidential secretary to Cicero, it's the story of Rome and 'high politics'. Really unlike any other historical drama I've read.

"Redemption Song"
5 Stars. It's about Joe Strummer. Overly long and impossibly well detailed yet so, so good. Love it.
