Book reviews
Book review: Dear Fatty, by Dawn French
CELEBRITY memoirs should, much like unattended packages, be approached with extreme caution. They're usually a desperate attempt to keep the writer in the spotlight for another five minutes, or self-aggrandising whinges.
Books: The War Within: A Secret White House History 2006-2008
A BOB WOODWARD BOOK launch is a big deaI. No advance copies for the critics, but plenty of exclusives from the corridors of power, a few strategically placed interviews, and – in the US anyway – almost automatic bestsellerdom.
Books: The Age of Wonder
IN 1778 JOSEPH BANKS WAS elected President of the Royal Society at the early age of 35.
Books: Florence Nightingale: The Woman and her Legend
A new biography sheds light on the Victorian legend of the Lady with the Lamp
