Living and Dying on the Internet
Sal25 July 2018
Everything about this book is horrific and there are many reasons why no publisher would touch it. The abuser who wrote the book paints himself as a victim because his career went down the drain when his fans found out that he had been abusing multiple women, several of whom were young (in some cases underage) fans he used his position of influence to take advantage of. The author is scum and is now trying to profit off the stories of the young women whose lives he damaged irreperably. No one should buy this book.

The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared
Anonymous17 January 2018
I really enjoy the narrative and the protagonist character. The idea of telling key moments of global history through the experience of an unassuming 100 year old man really worked for me, although some may think it became a little corny that he happened to meet all the major political influences. There were a editorial lapses but this may have been related to translation from Swedish to English. It didn't spoil the experience. However, Although I respected Karlsson, it is interesting that I didnt particularly like his character but it did make me think that he has some recognisable traits to people I know who have made it to their one hundredth year, including the need for a daily tipple of their favourite spirit and an inability to be inactive.

Fantastic read. Jones goes into great detail to explain the horrors and desperation of combat without trying to glorify it. We have all read the SAS genre of books, but Peter Laing is an every man character. Loved it.

SECRET COURTS: Child Protection or Child Abuse? How and why 'the system' is failing our children!
Don22 October 2017
Child Protection Systems are in crisis in all English-Speaking countries, but to a lesser extent in other countries. There are no sacred cows here that the author isn't afraid to tackle. The book is not written by a victim of the system but by someone who understands the people involved. The book is not about criticising but there are more than a few horror stories. Joe Burns certainly know his stuff and how the many problems can be solved. I liked the way he gets into the heads of those involved and doesn't assign blame to people, but blames an ideology and a culture and suggests many ways to build a better system. It isn't an easy read, this is not a love story. The book should be compulsory reading for all Judges, Legislators and anyone working in the "Child Abuse Industry" as the author calls it. I wouldn't have believed the system is as catastrophic as the author claims, but when you do your own research you can see for yourself what a miserable failure the system is. Despite the best intentions of good people, which the author stresses, the system fails the vast majority of children it purports to help. It's a very serious topic and makes disturbing reading, but this book needs to be read and understand by people who have the ability to change the system so that children are properly protected. The author also has a blog at SecretCourtsBlog dot com which is well worth a visit.
