Issue 50; The Morning Read Book Review
Issue 49; The Morning Read Book Review
Words by T W Coombs
In this section I give my thoughts on the books I have been reading over coffee and breakfast in the morning. This month three books were consumed, “When the Going was Good” by Graydon Carter and two Self Help style books by Mark Manson, “Art of Not Giving a F*ck” and “A Book About Hope”.
Issue 38; What Coffee Tables are For
The idea of a coffee table book is not a new one, people have been pilling these tombs onto their small legged tables for years. Changing them depending on the audience, the art books, the classic cars, that over-priced huge book of French film from 1970 and that interior design of Manor houses. None of which the owners have ever read.
Issue 36; Adventure Lost
Literature and books are an escape, a way to be part of something that would never happen, or a journey into the mind of someone, from a war hero to a serial killer or the detective who is after them. It could be that you are following a spy on his adventures or smashing swords with creatures from another land. But I have noticed that one thing is missing, maybe just from my list of books or new books I see in general, we have lost the discovery adventure novel.
Issue 17; Power of the Dog Trilogy, The Review
by T W Coombs esq.
A story that spans decades and took fifteen years itself to write has come to an end, with three epic novels of true life events turned into a fictional world. Welcome to Mexico and the Drug Wars.
Issue 14; The Wall by John Lanchester, The Review
By T W Coombs esq.
It seems the review has been left in the dark for a while so thought it was time I brought it back. The reason is to truly review, a place like a restaurant, book or film that I have enjoyed and feel you as readers and followers should no about. And The Wall is one of these.
Issue 10; The Stranger on the Bridge by Jonny Benjamin - The Review
As you may not know but I am very into my Mental Health and getting men in particular to talk about the stress in there lives and dealing with problems to stop them taking their lives as every year so many do and it also can be stopped. So when Hearst Publishers asked me to read and give my opinion on ‘The Stranger on the Bridge’ by Jonny Benjamin I couldn’t say no and here we are. As part of Hearst Big Book Festival the Big Book Awards runs across the styles that their publications hit. Men's Health had three on the viewing board and this stood out amongst the others.
