 | England Away by John King
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01 Completes the Trilogy competantly; and follows on well from the exceptional "Headhunters" if not as good. Embodies natural pride; and is nostalgic towards the 2nd world war. 3 Stars

 | Thud!: A Discworld Novel (Discworld Novels) by Terry Pratchett
Buy new: £4.79 / Used from: £0.01 Sam Vines and a murder mystery involding a dead dwarf. It starts off well enough, and is patchily funny, but drags and drags though the middle. Not as consistent as his other books. 2 Stars
|
 | Is it Just Me or is Everything Shit?: Vol. 2.: Volume Two by Steve Lowe
Buy new: £7.66 / Used from: £0.01 Identical almost to the original, but erm this feels somehow like the literal version of a B sides/Rarities album. It underplays D Cameron, and many entries are over obvious ie Kaiser Chiefs. 2 Stars
|
 | The Miracle of Castel di Sangro by Joe McGinniss
Buy new: £7.66 / Used from: £1.50 Quite like "Fevor Pitch" except with an Italian team of no hopers through a roller coster season (that even hollywood could not write); The author a character in his own right! 4 Stars
|
 | A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.01 Written in narrative, of 4 sterotypes; Disgraced Celeb, Bratty Teen; American Lad, Naive Mother. Slightly different, although Lacks a central purpose, meanders, and the ending is a cop out. 3 Stars
|

 | Is it Just Me or are All Politicians Shite? by Mark Hanks
Buy new: £8.99 / Used from: £0.01 Some classic Quotes in here, Dan Quaye being my favorite, what a legend he is. Best read randomly. However far too heavy on George W Bush, has everything he ever said in, 3 Stars
