Story4.5 out of 5 stars 112
A shape-shifting trickster on a kung-fu quest for eternal life, Monkey King is one of the most memorable superheroes in world literature. High-spirited and omni-talented, he can transform himself into whatever he chooses and turn each of his body's 84,000 hairs into an army of clones. But his penchant for mischief repeatedly gets him into trouble, and when he raids Heaven's Orchard of Immortal Peaches, the Buddha pins him beneath a mountain.

The first doctor-written guide to becoming a dad. Combines the medical knowledge of a health-care professional with real-life experience. At this crucial life moment, knowledge is power, but you probably know less than you think: what's a cervix? Can we still have sex? Why's the midwife doing that? How do I make up a bottle and is that poo normal? Dad's role is more important than you might ever have imagined, so what can you do to help?

Short, sharp, useful and reassuring
Reviewed: 22-11-23
A well-written, well-narrated, no-nonsense introduction to the topic with very little fluff. I feel much better informed and more confident about babies! I found the different perspectives of the doctor, Dad and Mum in each chapter very useful as well. Recommend!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 124
Napoleon inspires passionately held and often conflicting visions. Was he a godlike genius, a romantic avatar, a megalomaniac monster, a compulsive warmonger or just a nasty little dictator? Whilst he displayed elements of these traits at certain times, Napoleon was none of these things. He was a man and, as Adam Zamoyski presents him in this landmark biography, a rather ordinary one at that.

Compelling human portrait
Reviewed: 20-11-23
I bought this not knowing much about Napoleon and wanting to get a better grasp of his character and history before watching the new film. Brilliantly written and expertly narrated. You really get a sense of the man behind the myth and the story that he both shaped and was shaped by. Cannot recommend enough.

This book grew out of a series of letters to my daughter concerning various things - mostly about money and investing - she was not yet quite ready to hear. Since money is the single most powerful tool we have for navigating this complex world we've created, understanding it is critical.

I think this book may have changed my life
Reviewed: 05-10-21
I cannot recommend it enough. It's completely changed how I view money and wealth, and has given me ambitious but realistic goals that my partner and I can achieve so that we will be financially independent within 20 years. It offers really simple and practical investment advice that is proven to be effective. There’s also a huge importance placed on keeping your strategy simple by investing in an index fund (as most people can't beat the market), and how fees eat into your investments so minimising them is paramount. A few middle chapters about retirement accounts are only for Americans so you can just skip them. I'd recommend this book to anyone with little investment experience who is wondering what to do with all their money, or who needs a philosophy to guide them on their road to being wealthy.

An insightful, comprehensive and always entertaining appreciation of how European football has developed over the last three decades by the author of the much heralded The Mixer. Continental football has always cast a spell over the imagination. From the attacking flair of Real Madrid of the '50s to the defensive brilliance of the Italians in the '60s and on to the total football of the Dutch in the '70s, the European leagues have been where the game has most evolved and taken its biggest steps forward.

Very neatly written book, hugely informative and well narrated. My only criticism would be that the narrator did not pronounce many of the non-English names properly e.g. La Masia. Could have been avoided with a tiny bit of research/preparation.

Broadcaster, writer, philanthroper and one of the first public figures to suggest high-visibility clothing for people manning temporary car parks, the public Alan Partridge is a cherished institution. But what of the unseen Alan? For the first time, this famously private man welcomes us into his home and audibly deshrouds himself for a fascinating series of podcasts.
