BOOK REVIEWS:
CHRISTMAS BOOKSBY ELEANOR DAVIES, FROM LINGHAM’S BOOKSTORE, HESWALL
iography:y Time: Bradley Wiggins
ow we all love Bradley! n this fabulous
ew autobiography he tells the story of the
emarkable journey that led him from his
owest ebb to win the world’s toughest race.
n his own words he reveals the personal
anguish that has driven him on and what it’s like behind
the scenes at Team Sky: the brutal training regimes, the
sacrifices and his views on his teammates and rivals.
e talks too about his anger at the spectre of dopingthat pursues his sport, how he dealt with the rush of
taking Olympic gold and above all what it takes to be the
greatest. An ideal gift for those many fanatical cyclists
out there or simply for the armchair devotee.
Fiction:
The Racketeer: John Grisham
Given the importance of what they do,
the controversies that often surround
them, and the violent people they
sometimes confront, it is
remarkable that in the
history of the USA only
four active federal judges
have been murdered.
Judge Raymond Fawcettis number five. His
body is found in the
small basement of a
lakeside cabin he has built himself
and frequently uses on weekends.
When he does not show up for a trial
on Monday morning, his law clerks
panic, call the FBI, and in due course
the agents find the crime scene. No
forced entry, no struggle, just twodead bodies - Judge Fawcett and
his young secretary. Once again
John Grisham has produced
a real page-turner which
would make a great Christmas
present for any one who enjoys
a fast-paced and gripping plot.
Yet another reason why the
author is sometimes called ‘the
best thriller writer alive’.
General Interest:
The Medical Book: Clifford A Pickover
Subtitled From Witch Doctors to Robot Surgeons, 250 Milestones in the History of
Medicine, this book does what it says on the tin, chronicling the advancement of
medicine in 250 entertaining, illustrated landmark events. Touching on such diverse
subspecialties as genetics, pharmacology, neurology, sexology and immunology,
Pickover intersperses obvious historical milestones; the Hippocratic Oath, general
anesthesia, the Human Genome Project, with unexpected and intriguing topics
like truth serum, the use of cocaine in eye surgery and face transplants. Beautifully illustrated
with amazing photos and paintings this is a great present for anyone in the medical profession or
indeed for the interested lay person.
A seasonal extra:
Dickens at Christmas
(Vintage Classics)
It is said that Charles Dickens invented Christmas,
and within these pages you’ll certainly find all theelements of a quintessential traditional Christmas brought to
vivid life: snowy rooftops, gleaming shop windows, steaming
bowls of punch, plum puddings like speckled cannon balls,
sage and onion stuf fing, miracles, magic, charity and goodwill.
This selection includes not only Dickens’ Christmas Books
(‘A Christmas Carol’, ‘The Chimes’, ‘The Battle of Life’,’The
Cricket on the Hearth’ and ‘The Haunted Man’) but also stories
that Dickens wrote for the special seasonal editions of his
periodicals All the Year Round and Household Words, and a
festive tale from The Pickwick Papers.A beautiful hardback book which would be a joy
to possess and read with the family for
many Christmases to come.
