Dandy in the Underworld: An Unauthorized Autobiography (P.S.)

7 reviews
Sebastian Horsley

Harper Perennial, 2008

Hilarious, Grim, and Hilarious
"I am not a writer. I am a performer. Writing is merely a way of bringing myself to the notice of the world." Thus says Englishman Sebastian Horsley, and he certainly got my notice in _Dandy in the Underworld: An Unauthorized Autobiography_ (Harper Perennial), although reading it is often like the horrific roadside crash you cannot take your eyes off. A reader cannot help thinking that this ...

Sybex, 2006

A reasonable effort - more than just exam prep.
This book's intention is to prepare the reader as best as it can to pass the Microsoft 70-431 exam. It covers all the relevant topics and appears to be a great resource in doing so. However, I have a few concerns. First the positives: The book is well balanced with theory followed by practical exercises. Each chapter ends with a summary of what was just covered, what level of knowledge is ...

Chariot Family Pub, 1987

Great series!
This is just one book in the series of eight, building christian character books. They are rhyming books with great pictures too. Our kids love them, in fact our 11 year old gets them out and reads them still! There should be hard backs still in print! If they were I would purchase them for our church.

Candy is Dandy: The Best of Ogden Nash

7 reviews
Ogden Nash

Carlton Books Ltd, 1994

Why is this man so uncelebrated?
Nash's work is too often regarded as light and meaningless; admittedly some of the work is very much "of it's time" now, but it is largely rich, diverse, insightful and wonderfully clever. The rhymes are complex and intriguing and form great volumes of biting social comment. They are deliciously constructed and achingly funny at times. Yet he seems to be an almost forgotten "Children's" poet, ...

Bill Peet

Sandpiper, 1979

The best of Bill Peet
We were given a very worn copy of this book, which set us off in search of a clean copy, and turned us on to the work of Bill Peet. "We" are a family of five, with two kids ( ages four and five) that are read to each night at bedtime. If you are a parent who engages in this reading ritual, then you know what a drag it is to read the same book 200 times in a year. You learn to dread having ...

Beau Brummell: The Ultimate Man of Style

Ian Kelly

Free Press, 2006

Finally, a decent book on the Beau.
I give this book a strong rating for a couple of reasons. First, the book compelled me to turn the page. Full of zest and anecdotes that brings the scenes to life, the story was interesting and lively enough that I wanted to see what came next. Second, the author cuts through the legends and delivers the facts behind the man. Where the man's reputation and tales grew over time, there was ...
