Book and DVD reviews- Praxis ("Honest Accountant") reviews intriguing titles at Amazon

People might find out something about you from the sort of things you read/watch.   Click the links below to find out what Praxis thinks of these efforts to entertain her.

Puffball, by Fay Weldon    -   This book blends suspense, witchcraft and insight into what makes us human - psychologically and biologically

The Long Good Friday, starring Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren - the best of BritCrime

The Interceptor, by Cameron Addicott - a true story and a must-read for anyone interested in sneaky stuff

Guy de Maupassant short storiesthe best and worst of human nature

In a Strange Room, by Damon Galmut-  am I the only person in Britain who hates this Booker shortlisted novel?



If you've never read Praxis, by Fay Weldon, here's what to expect: 




Praxis Duveen is both feminist heroine and Very Bad Example. Her occasional triumphs over her tormentors are brutal, and in later life, it's clear that she is proud to be the product of her experiences.


From the very first page, you'll be shocked by what happens to Praxis. You'll also be dangerously inspired by how she overcomes her difficulties.
