Book reviews

Reviewer: Clare Moore
Title: The Happiest Refugee - a Memoir
Author: Ahn Do
Review/Comments: The book is very similar to the life that Ahn describes; quick, often rash, "jump in and do it" attitude and the various chapters can sometimes seem a bit disjointed. Overall, it is a story of remarkable circumstances and opportunities and thankfully, his family were accepted into Australia - our country would have been a lot poorer in many ways if this exceptional family had not come here.
Rating*:7

Reviewer: Clare Moore
Title: Present Danger
Author: Stella Rimington
Review/Comments:Ecellent book with all the twists and turns of a M15 investigation in Ireland.The plot keeps the reader engaged right to the very last line and waiting for the next book to come out. It is the latest in a series by the author and is slightly better than the others, which also were good.
Rating*:10

Reviewer: Clare Moore
Title: It's All Too Much
Author: Peter Walsh
Review/Comments: The rest of the title is "An Easy Plan for Living a Richer Life with Less Stuff." A practical book if you are in the situation of having too much clutter and do not know how to get out of it. One will not follow every suggestion in the book, but rather apply what is relevant to you situation. Quite a straight forward practical book.
Rating*:7

Reviewer: Clare Moore
Title: Last Night at Chateau Marmont
Author: Lauren Weisberger
Review/Comments*:You can tell that this will be made into a movie to follow up the success of "The Devil Wears Prada". Good story line that holds the reader, but you do tend to think that the author has written the book for another purpose - the movie. A good story worthy of holding it's own literary merit.
