The London Ritz Book of English Breakfast1 review
Helen Simpson

Arbor House Pub Co, 1988

Yuuuuuuum. Brekky is the best.
I love this book, it's tiny, cute, well laid out, great recipes, a little history and makes you hungry. Whenever I have cooked from this book I have had to fight people off to actually get a taste of anything myself. All the recipes work extremely well and it's as great a book to just sit and read. 		  
  







  
  
Native Americans (Nature Company Discoveries Libraries)1 review
Judith Simpson

Time-Life Books, 1995

Beautifully Illustrated Book!
I am a third grade teacher and the study of Native Americans is part of our History/Social Studies curriculum. Every third grade teacher at my school has purchased this book with their own money to use when teaching this topic. It is beautifully illustrated and contains lots of colorful photographs. It contains interesting facts and information about different Native American tribes and their ... 		  
  







  
  
The Rough Guide to Cult Movies - 2nd Edition (Rough Guide Reference)6 reviews
Paul Simpson, Helen Rodiss, ...

Rough Guides, 2004

Great fun, lots of info, but sloppy
I bought this book and read most of it in one night; I couldn't put it down because the subject is so fascinating. A huge number of films are given short reviews: some I knew, some I didn't. The tome's small size and attractive design helped me keep reading into the wee hours. But I became gradually more annoyed when I discovered how carelessly the book was written and edited (if there was an ... 		  
  







  
  
Getting a Life: Stories15 reviews
Helen Simpson

Vintage, 2002

england's finest
I brought the paperback of this book back from the UK and finally got around to reading it last month. It is simply one of the best-- funniest, best written, most trenchant, most important, most affecting-- story collections published in the last decade. Pretty much every story in it is about a thirtysomething woman with children; some of the women stay at home and have minds of mush, some of ...

The Rough Guide to Cult Fiction (Rough Guides Reference Titles)6 reviews

Rough Guides, 2005

Excellent Place to Find Your New Favorite Novel
First, a word about the term cult fiction, and its implications. When I first saw the title of this little book, I assumed it would be full of strung-out wreckages like Burroughs and Dick. While the Rough Guide does contain them (as it should), its scope is far greater than writers of that type. In here you'll find a wind range of novelists reviewed, including Graham Greene, John Fowles, even ...

Rough Guides, 2004

Great OVERVIEW of the Comics world...
If you'd like to learn all about comics, this is a good starting point. The book covers the historical context, the creators, the superheroes themselves and the public's fascination with this entertainment genre. Why are people fascinated with comics? Why the appeal? This book answers these questions, and shows how comic characters have influenced and been influenced by culture, especially in ...

The London Ritz Book of Afternoon Tea12 reviews
Helen Simpson

William Morrow Cookbooks, 1986

Added to the whole series.....Putting on The Ritz!
I just returned from London where I enjoyed the "Ritzual" of Tea in the gorgeous Palm Court. This is my second time and even with the insane prices with the weakening dollar I would still do it all over again. This book is a great reminder of that very special event for my 50th birthday. Try to collect the whole series-wonderful, wonderful! 		  
  







  
  
Constitutional: Stories1 review
Helen Simpson

Jonathan Cape, 2006

Quite disappointing
I absolutely love the way Helen Simpson writes - particularly about mothers. It was with huge enthusiasm that I read this latest collection of short stories but was quite let down in the end. This time around, she seems preoccupied with the theme of death; most of the stories blurred together and even now I cannot recall very many of them. If I were her literary advisor, I would suggest that ... 		  
  







  
  
In the Driver's Seat: Stories1 review
Helen Simpson

Knopf, 2007

5-Star Short Stories
Helen Simpson is an accomplished and awarded British writer. This is her fourth collection of short stories, and she has also published a novella. Her stories are enjoyable vignettes on the lives of ordinary British people - generally women. They are thoughtful and sometimes funny, wise and often witty. Simpson does a bit of tongue in cheek as her characters maneuver through their days or ...
