WHO NEEDS ENEMIES WITH FRIENDS LIKE THAT

Tue, 19 Jun 2001 19:01:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ANNJSEC - Yet another Diana book and yet again I've had to read it. This one looks at her life from a slightly different angle and instead of reading that the love of her life was Charles, James Hewitt or Dodi Fayed, we are now informed it was (if the author is to...

CHARLES/DIANA AND A CAST OF THOUSANDS

Mon, 14 May 2001 10:04:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ANNJSEC - Being a history addict, I am of course kept riveted by books on the subject and the story of our present day history (I'm English) intrigues me. Future generations will, I am sure, be hungry for accounts on the love triangle between Charles, Diana, and...

ANNJSEC IS A FILMSTAR! ! !

Sat, 28 Apr 2001 10:42:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ANNJSEC - Watching Chariots of Fire on the television for the umpteenth time a day or so ago, I suddenly realised here was a film on which I could write an opinion. Not only that, but I can add some little trivia details which might, or might not, be of interest...

DO WE REALLY HAVE TO AGREE WITH THE EXPERTS

Wed, 25 Apr 2001 11:59:31 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ANNJSEC - I must be perverse....I really must be. Whenever something is recommended or awarded a special prize my reactions never seem to echo those of others. Take Educating Rita for example. "It's hilarious" I was told "You'll laugh your socks off" (I don't...

IT SUCKS

Thu, 19 Apr 2001 09:11:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ANNJSEC - Firstly my apologies for the rather rude title, but it is very apt. My Hoover really does suck and suck and suck ...the suction is tremendous.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ANNJSEC - My first memories of Chester go back to my childhood when as a 7 or 8 year old, armed with paste butties (sandwiches to non Liverpudlians) I boarded the huge green double decker bus and set off excitedly with my school mates on a school trip. It was a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ANNJSEC - Some Other Rainbow......the story of the kidnap of British journalist John McCarthy and the efforts made by his then girlfriend Jill Morrell to ensure he was not forgotten by either the British people or indeed the Government. This is a tale of human...

ONE FOR THE KIDS

Sat, 24 Mar 2001 17:14:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ANNJSEC - Looking through the various titles of family films, I was amazed that hardly anybody has mentioned Hans Christian Andersen.

Sat, 24 Mar 2001 11:05:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ANNJSEC - Take me back to the Black Hills, oh well if not .......take me back to the innocent days when films like Calamity Jane were hot news, back to the days of the l950s and especially l953 when this film was made.

It may not seem very topical to...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ANNJSEC - "Please Sir, I want some more"..........

THIS WILL NEVER BEGONE WITH THE WIND

Fri, 23 Mar 2001 09:39:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ANNJSEC - Gone with the Wind was recommended to me time and time again by family and friends, but I always turned my nose up. "It's not my type of book" I would proclaim loudly and grandly or "I don't like romances".

I joined a book club and had to...

WHEN IN ROME DO AS THE ROMANS DO

Thu, 22 Mar 2001 12:55:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ANNJSEC - If I had to pick three of my favourite Cities in the U.K.they would be Chester, Bath and London in that order. Luckily I have relatives who live near to both Chester and Bath - I suppose I'll just have to suggest someone moves down to the London area,...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ANNJSEC - If there's one thing I really enjoy it's old films, particularly musicals...and what better than My Fair Lady starring the one and only very fair lady, Audrey Hepburn, my favourite film star of all time.

A BYEGONE AGE

Thu, 22 Mar 2001 10:27:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ANNJSEC - We all know the feeling, some books we labour through, some we forget within weeks of finishing and others that stay in the memory forever. Little Women is the latter.

I BELIEVE THERE WAS A CONSPIRACY

Thu, 22 Mar 2001 10:21:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ANNJSEC - I don't expect a lot of people to agree with me, but I have to admit to being one of the "It's a conspiracy" believers. Trevor Rees-Jones book 'The Bodyguard's Story' has done nothing to dissuade me of this opinion.

Trevor was, as I'm sure...

IS IT TRUE

Thu, 22 Mar 2001 10:11:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ANNJSEC - The first thing I noticed on collecting this book from the library was how small and thin it was, (being a bestseller I had expected the usual many paged wonder). Had I only known, the size of the book is almost a prophecy as the contents depict a...
