Review Awight Now / Simon & Schuster Audio:Michael Barrymore is one of Britain's favourite entertainers. His appearances on Saturday night TV in the 1980s and 90s were unforgettable and the relationship he built with the audience unique. However, following the tragic death of Stuart Lubbock in Michael's swimming pool in 2001, his career ground to a halt. AWIGHT NOW is Michael's story.

Michael tells of his despair following the tragedy and how his world fell apart. Despite tabloid rumours, Michael had no involvement with the death and has never been arrested or charged. [+]
Since 2001, Michael has endured some dark moments but through determination and the love of his friends, he is now picking up the pieces. His remarkable TV comeback on Celebrity Big Brother has catapulted him back into the spotlight and assured him that the British public want him back. Michael is touring the UK in autumn 2006 as Scrooge in A Christmas Carol.

Review Look Who it Is!: My Story / HarperCollins Publishers Ltd:Famed for his gentle innocence and brilliant observational wit, comedian Alan Carr describes his childhood growing up in a football-mad family in Northampton and his rise to become one of Britain's best-loved comedians. 'Puberty had been unkind. Whereas it had come in the night and left the other boys with chiselled, stubbly chins and deep masculine voices, I'd been left with a huge pair of knockers and the voice of a pensioner. ' Alan Carr Alan Carr grew up in one of the most boring towns in England - Northampton. A place known for making shoes. It was also famous for its football club, Northampton Town FC. Alan's dad as manager of the club was a local hero. A dream come true for most lads, but not Alan. Alan wore glasses and had man boobs at 14. He did not like P. [+]
E. In his very first book, Alan tells his life story ('oh and what a life') with his unique twist of natural, observational humour - 'I'm not saying I'm a fantasist but there have been times when things that I've seen on television when I was younger have tended to seep into my subconscious and blended into my own life. I remember telling my Mum about the time I stopped that woman from having a diamond encrusted necklace stolen and she'd say 'No Alan, that was Poirot. ' With his tongue-in-cheek, end of pier humour that has made him famous, Alan describes an ordinary life in bursts of technicolour. His journey from awkward schoolboy hiding his man-boobs on the pitch, drinking tea with the dinner ladies and working in a call centre, to becoming one of our best-loved comedians likened to the great Frankie Howerd, will make his book a guaranteed tickler with a laugh-out-loud gag on every page.

Review Step By Step: A Memoir of Hope, Friendship, Perserverance and Living the American Dream / SpringWater:From sharecropper's son in Depression-era South Carolina to hearing coordinator for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Bowman shares his inspiring life story. Born in Summerton, S. C. , in 1931, young Bertie was raised by his stepmother and strict father to do his share of the farm work, in the spirit of molding a man's character by "hard work, determination, and keeping your word," as taught by Booker T. Washington. After meeting South Carolina Senator Burnet Maybank at a rally, Bowman ran away at age 13 to Washington, D. C. , and got a job with the kindly senator. He swept the Capitol steps, shined shoes and started a taxi service, before being drafted into the newly integrated Army in 1951. Things changed with the election of Strom Thurmond in 1954, but the dedicated segregationist also professed to be a personal friend of all blacks. [+]
He writes candidly and without irony of the typical Southern politician's accepted "personal versus political" views. As an "invisible" on the downstairs African-American staff, Bowman overheard a great deal, and he shares some delicious gossip about Lyndon Johnson and others. Eventually he landed a plum position under William Fulbright, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who remained his friend and ally until the senator's death. Bowman also gushes over fellow Southerners Jesse Helms and Bill Clinton.

Review John Wesley: Men and Women of Faith Series (Men of Faith (Blackstone)) / Blackstone Audio Inc.:John Wesley was a small, frail man who was a giant in faith and commitment to Jesus Christ. This is the inspiring, personal story of one of the most powerful preachers since apostolic times. Crisscrossing his country on horseback for an incredible quarter of a million miles, Wesley preached at thousands of outdoor evangelistic meetings. In his own pulpit, Wesley's pastoral and teaching ministry filled the pews and spilled over to other congregations, unifying them into a strong church body. But the impact of John Wesley's life and ministry reaches far beyond the shores of England and the confines of Methodism. His witness to salvation and sanctification still shines through his hymns, through his books, and through books of his life story such as this one.

Review Gustavo Cisneros: Un Empresario Global / FonoLibro Inc.:Gustavo Cisneros, uno de los principales empresarios globales, forma parte de una dinastía de empresarios iniciada por su padre, Diego Cisneros, en la segunda generación no sólo mantiene si no supera los logros de la primera. Gustavo Cisneros consigue convertir un importante y saneado negocio venezolano en un jugador dentro del mercado global, propio de la época que le ha tocado vivir. Pablo Bachelet relata de una forma amena, y no especializada, el entramado de un negocio de muchas cabezas que, conforme se van haciendo mas grande, también se hace mucho mas complejo. Uno siente que se está en la junta directiva de la organización, Volando con Cisneros a Miami, Nueva York o Madrid, e incluso vive en carne propia y casi en tiempo real, el vértigo de negociaciones complejas y, sobre todo, arriesgadas. El autor presenta a Gustavo Cisneros en toda su complejidad, con sus triunfos y fracasos. En este sentido, las experiencias de Galerías Preciados o, mucho después, el intento de crear una única plataforma de satélite para toda Latinoamérica con Murdoch, Azcárraga, y Marinho son fascinantes como el éxito de CADA, Venevisión, Univisión o la operación ultra secreta para convertir la Organización Cisneros en el Franquiciador de Coca-Cola en Venezuela. Gustavo Cisneros, "El adelantado," según lo defina Carlos Fuentes en su prologo, es una historia de riesgos premiados. También de errores admitidos. Es una historia de oportunos cambios de velocidad. Del negocio de consumo perecedero, Cisneros pasa al negocio de las telecomunicaciones. [+]
De la generación de flujo de caja, a la generación de valor. Y siempre, antes del siguiente paso, la consolidación interna. La saga empresarial de Cisneros - digna de ser descrita por un Balzac o un Dreisner, y comparable a los Fugger renacentistas- posee, como toda vida- y vida, sobre todo, de acción-, luces y sombras, derrotas y victorias, detalladamente descritas en este audiolibro.

Review Just Julie / Macmillan Audio Books:For twenty-five years, Julie Goodyear became part of everyone's family when she played Bet Lynch, the loveable brassy barmaid of the Rovers Return in "Coronation Street". Now, at sixty-four (the age her mother was when she died), Julie feels the time is right to tell her amazing life story. Julie Goodyear's father walked out on the family soon after Julie's birth, so, Julie was brought up by her mother Alice and stepfather. Her upbringing in Manchester was impoverished, but Julie coped largely through the love for her spiritualist grandmother, who Julie would accompany when she was called upon by the local community to lay out the dead. At just thirteen, Julie had to deal with her beloved grandmother's death when she was found in a canal. Julie fell pregnant at sixteen, bringing shame and embarrassment, before marrying Ray Sutcliffe. The marriage only lasted three years. In 1966, Julie made a six-week appearance in "Coronation Street" as Bet Lynch from Elliston's Raincoat Factory, a role which made her Britain's best-loved barmaid and a cultural institution. In 1979, during a routine check up, Julie discovered she had cervical cancer and had two operations. At the time, she was given a year to live. [+]
Various liaisons during the ensuing decade included Julie's first foray into a same sex relationship with her housekeeper. In 1987, Julie left "Coronation Street" for a while to nurse her mother, Alice who was dying of terminal cancer. Julie, finally, quit the series on 2 October 1995 after walking away with a lifetime Achievement Award at the first National Television Awards. In 1996, she was awarded an OBE. Julie's much anticipated autobiography reveals, for the first time and with incredible candour, the truth, sadness and spirit behind this larger than life woman.

Review The Flamboyant: Library Edition / Blackstone Audiobooks:In the tradition of Beryl Markham's West with the Night, The Flamboyant tells the story of Lenora Demarest, a strong–willed, soft–spoken American beauty intent on becoming the first aviatrix in her adopted country of Puerto Rico. Born in 1900, on the cusp of divergent eras, Lenora epitomises the glamorous, wealthy, adventurous women of the 1920s and 1930s who balanced romantic, Victorian sensibilities with decidedly modern forays into traditionally male arenas. When an affair with a dashing aviator and friendship with the spirited Amelia Earhart awaken her passion for flying, Lenora – captivated by two cultures and loved by two men – finds herself on an exhilarating path towards independence. Set against the vibrant backdrop of colonial politics, The Flamboyant pays tribute to a woman generations ahead of her time.

Review Rio: My Story / Headline Book Publishing:Rio Ferdinand is widely acknowledged as one of the most talented defenders in the world. His transfer from West Ham to Leeds set a British record, a feat he repeated with his subsequent move to Manchester United. Ferdinand's success on the pitch has been meteoric - including high drama in the Champions League, and two World Cups. If success on the pitch has kept Ferdinand on the back pages, his off-pitch story has made him a regular on the front pages. Here for the very first time, Ferdinand reveals all about his infamous missed drugs test, the controversies surrounding both his transfers, his supposed reluctance to re-sign for United in 2005, the alleged tapping-up meeting with Chelsea's Peter Kenyon and various sex, driving and anti-social behaviour scandals. Beyond the football, Ferdinand's personal story will also fascinate. Here he discusses his upbringing in Peckham, his work with young offenders and his music label which provides unique opportunities for underprivileged youths.

Review French Toast / Blackstone Audiobooks:Peter Mayle may have spent a year in Provence, but Harriet Welty Rochefort writes from the wise perspective of one who has spent more than twenty years living among the French. From a small town in Iowa to the City of Light, Harriet has done what so many of dream of one day doing-she picked up and moved to France. But it has not been twenty years of fun and games; Harriet has endured her share of cultural bumps, bruises, and psychic adjustments along the way. In French Toast, she shares her hard-earned wisdom and does as much as one woman can to demystify the French. She makes sense of their ever-so-French thoughts on food, money, sex, love, marriage, manners, schools, style, and much more. She investigates such delicate matters as how to eat asparagus, how to approach Parisian women, how to speak to merchants, how to drive, and, most important, how to make a seven-course meal in a silk blouse without an apron! Harriet's first-person account offers both a helpful reality check and a lot of very funny moments.

Review My Manchester United Years: The Autobiography / Headline Book Publishing:Bobby Charlton is Manchester United through and through. He was a member of the original 'Busby Babes' and has devoted his career to the club, playing in 754 games over 17 years. During that period, he won everything the game had to offer, played alongside some of the greats such as Best and Law, suffered devastating defeats and was involved in one of the greatest football tragedies of all time. Here, for the very first time, he tells the story of those United years. With his beloved Reds he tasted FA Cup victory in the emotional final of 1963, won three first division championships and in 1968 he reached the pinnacle of club success, winning the European Cup. Inevitably, such highs are balanced with no less dramatic lows, such as the 1957 European Cup semi-final, the highly charged 1958 FA Cup loss which followed only weeks after the horrors of the Munich Air disaster, and the 1969 European Cup defeat by Milan. He is one of the true gentlemen of football and the legacy that Bobby Charlton gives to United is beyond compare.

Review Traitor to His Class: The Privileged Life and Radical Presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt / Random House Audio:A sweeping, magisterial biography of the man generally considered the greatest president of the twentieth century, admired by Democrats and Republicans alike. Traitor to His Class sheds new light on FDR's formative years, his remarkable willingness to champion the concerns of the poor and disenfranchised, his combination of political genius, firm leadership, and matchless diplomacy in saving democracy in America during the Great Depression and the American cause of freedom in World War II. Drawing on archival materials, public speeches, personal correspondence, and accounts by family and close associates, acclaimed bestselling historian and biographer H. W. Brands offers a compelling and intimate portrait of Roosevelt’s life and career. Brands explores the powerful influence of FDR’s dominating mother and the often tense and always unusual partnership between FDR and his wife, Eleanor, and her indispensable contributions to his presidency. Most of all, the book traces in breathtaking detail FDR’s revolutionary efforts with his New Deal legislation to transform the American political economy in order to save it, his forceful—and cagey—leadership before and during World War II, and his lasting legacy in creating the foundations of the postwar international order. Traitor to His Class brilliantly captures the qualities that have made FDR a beloved figure to millions of Americans. Amazon Best of the Month, November 2008: With Traitor to His Class: The Privileged Life and Radical Presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, H. W. [+]
Brands penetrates the clenched grin of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in a masterful biography of one of America's most beloved leaders. Though born into the upper crust of society, FDR dedicated his career to fighting for the common good and the ideals of the American Dream. With the same exhaustive research familiar to fans of his biographies of Benjamin Franklin and Andrew Jackson, Brands provides a portrait of an unflinching (and often recalcitrant) figure whose unshakable confidence inspired a beleaguered nation. FDR's path may have been unorthodox (evidenced by an unprecedented 12 years spent as commander-in-chief) and arguably illegal (the New Deal didn't always work well with the Constitution), but his shared goal of a stronger America at home and abroad endeared him to voters of varying backgrounds. "We are determined to make every American citizen the subject of his country's interest and concern," proclaimed Roosevelt in 1937. "The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little. " - -Dave Callanan.
