EVER BOUGHT A BOOK ON THE STRENGTH OF THE REVIEWS ON THE BACK???

If you are like us (and probably one of the many thousands of book lovers across the globe) and have had the misfortune of spending your hard-earned cash on an apparent "best-seller"; you will probably also have experienced the dull thud as you bang your head against the wall, thinking "Why did I listen to the reviews on the back?!" The truth is: reviews found on books are usually self-promoting, PR stunt-type hype and not necessarily a true reflection of the books' quality at all.

It is our aim to tell the truth about books, but don't for one second assume that that is synonymous with us creating a blog to 'diss' authors' work - to the contrary - our intention is to provide an honest appraisal of each and every book we read. If the book is any good - it'll get a good review. If it's awful and a tragedy to the literary world - then it won't. It's that simple.

Mr Christmas Sound Book (ISBN 978-1-4052-3270-8)

A fun, festive book that is guaranteed to get everyone in the mood for Christmas. What with all that talk of shopping, wrapping gifts and Santa Claus is positively contagious and before you it, your offspring will have hauled you down to the local hell-mall for a spate of Chrimbo shopping yourself!

Still, with this fresh in your mind at least you'll have a yule-tide tune buzzing around your head and more than likely (particularly if you've imbimbed the Christmas spirits), you'll probably also be chuckling softly to yourself at Mr Slow and admiring his fortitude. Cling to that when you're surrounded by the usual suspects whizzing about like crazed penguins (there's not much room at hell-malls!)... Ah! The joy of Christmas!
