The American Future: A History from The Bodley Head Ltd Price: £11.00 Customer Review: This book is for those of you who like history as a sweep of events and with interlocking sections that you have to piece together to get your overall picture.

Henry: Virtuous Prince from HarperPress Price: £11.25 Customer Review: I was really looking forwards to this book, I am an avid reader of anything to do with Tudor history and the wars of the roses and as there is relatively little written on the early years of Henry VIII I was keen to discover more about his personality, his friendships, his marriage, his life and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		The Selfish Gene from OUP Oxford Price: £6.29 Customer Review: The author writes about living things as if the gene is the animal and the animal is simply a seed for the gene.

The style is stilted and uses... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know from Hodder Paperbacks Price: £5.11 Customer Review: This book surprised me. It was a Christmas present and its taken this long for me to open it, but I'm very glad I did. I must admit before I read it I thought Ranulph Feinnes was a bit of a nutter. I still do. But there's more to him than that. I think this book is about love, failure and doing... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
