Last Suppers: Famous Final Meals from Death Row
on July 03, 2011
Very enjoyable and unusual book. The authors have a great sense of humour coupled with a solid sense of justice.
The meals are just a small part of this book - almost an excuse to talk about death row. What makes it really interesting is the additional information - such as differences in the laws between states, and gems such as the percentage of people on death row with the middle name of 'Lee'!
No matter your opinion of the death penalty, this book is well written, interesting, entertaining, enlightening and good value - enjoy!
It's OK to Laugh

Quite entertaining self-published story. As someone who has not had to deal with domestic violence, it was interesting to read how this sort of thing can sneak in and take hold. We always say 'Why doesn't she leave him?' This book helps to illustrate one answer to that question.
Nancy's honest look at herself and her life are refreshing and funny. She has no pretensions, no delusions of grandeur. She loves, she lives, she laughs and she makes an effort to live the best life she can.
Enjoy!
The Rock Star in the Mirror (or, How David Bowie Ruined My Life)

Purchased this book two days ago and then had to wait to read it because I'd let my NOOK battery die! But it was worth the wait.
Ms Cathcart has written a lovely tale - highly original, nicely paced, great characters, and simply a pleasure to read.
I don't read many books or stories twice - which is why I prefer ereading to print reading - but this is one story I expect to revisit in a couple of weeks' time.
It was a lovely way to start my day.
