1.		Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance from Canongate Books Price: £5.00 Customer Review: I am always interested in people's life story, especially that of famous people. He is the proud of black people. I am still reading this book, haven't finished it yet, but really enjoying it. I can learn a lot from it.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream from Canongate Books Price: £4.49 Customer Review: "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream" is Barack Obama's second book, and it is his personal view of the direction that the United States needs to move in terms of the type of politics we practice. It is not a look at whether one should be liberal or conservative--though... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Outliers: The Story of Success from Allen Lane Price: £8.49 Customer Review: Plain boring and obviously written to bail out Mr. Gladwell. Mr. Gladwells first book might be a black swan. Some examples: "the beatles had to play 8 hours a day in a Hamburg strip club in order to "learn genius" and Bill Gates "learned how to program" by cheating Washinton University on hours... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		Kitchener's Last Volunteer: The Life of Henry Allingham, Britain's Oldest Man and the Oldest Surviving Veteran of the Great War from Mainstream Publishing Price: £10.00 Customer Review: What amazes me the most about Henry Allingham's fascinating and inspiring life story is that for 30 years he lived a quiet life in his Eastbourne flat, and hadn't spoken about the War since it ended. Then, after reaching 100, his life changed completely and he's now had up to 47 event appearances in... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		The Last Fighting Tommy: The Life of Harry Patch, the Only Surviving Veteran of the Trenches from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Price: £3.86 Customer Review: Disappointing. Patch's own words are fine, especially for a man of his age, but the ghost-writer (Richard van Emden) is too intrusive and spoils the flow of the narrative.

6.		A History of Modern Britain from Pan Books Price: £3.55 Customer Review: This is an interesting and readable history of our country since the Second World War marred (pun intended) by a liberal/left-wing bias. Andrew Marr deals with a number of topics and this book is neither political nor social history but contains bits of each and more. Much of the book is a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		The Secret from Simon & Schuster Ltd Price: £5.89 Customer Review: This suffers from the same problems as the DVD. It's derivative. There is absolutely nothing that hasn't been said over and over again. It's simplistic. Life can be simple, but that doesn't mean you should treat your audience as if they are too. It's repetitive. Get a variety of... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Price: £5.99 Customer Review: I eagerly awaited the arrival of this book..... and then struggled to make myself finish it. The facts of the case of interesting but the book is massively padded out with all manner of facts on victorian life and morals which I found very boring and tedious. I thought I had bought a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		The American Future: A History from The Bodley Head Ltd Price: £12.00 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. Although this makes reference to the current election I think its only because I think the author sees the two candidates as potentially the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		Seven Troop from Bantam Press Price: £9.00 Customer Review: Not a lot going for this book. The author spends a lot of time explaining what broken and lost people some of his former comrades in arms are (most of this is described in other books by the people involved), and that war wrecks peoples lives so perhaps they need professional help. Not exactly news... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
