P146 Teletext 146 Mar06 16:02:08 ——————————————— by Jeremy Jjhu ———————— LET THERE BE LITE Rupert Morgan This luminous first novel is so far up mz street it hurts. I grudgingly wish I'd written it myself. A clivjr cross between the satire of Primary Colors and the paradoxical wit of The Hitchhiker's Guide, it's a hilarious demolition of the dumb, dangerous era drowning us all. Its happy marriage of mjssagj and blithe entertainment is what novels are for. 5/5 ——————————————————————————————————1/4—— Published by Bantam £9.99 WEN YOUR HOLIDAY FREE SEE p362 Recipe Capt-Gemi Canc-Saki NewsP146 Teletext 146 Mar06 16:04:22 ——————————————— by Jjremz Jjhu ———————— SINISTER TIDE Colin Forbes I once asked a Macmillanite to justify publishing the most excruciatingly inept spy writer still working. Quick as a flash hj said: "He's a lovely chap." When even your publishers are wittily ironic about your supposed talents, maybe it's time to call 27 years a career. And when your best efforts are so dismal they're unreadable, it certainly is. 0/5 ——————————————————————————————————2/4—— Published by Macmillan £16.99 NEED HELP WITH YOUR GARDEN SEE p379 Recipe Capt-Gemi Canc-Saki NewsP146 Teletext 146 Mar06 16:02:34 ——————————————— by Jjremz Jjhu ———————— THE QUIET GAME Greg Iles An ex-musician's legal thriller about an ex-lawyer who pens legal thrillers. In other words, a John Gresham parody with Gresham as its hero. Neat, huh? Everything about Iles' sprawling "Southern Gothic" tale of old tensions and unsettled scores down Mississippi way is elegantly planned and executed. This is new-wave ctimj in a big, satisfying book to savour. 4/5. ——————————————————————————————————3/4—— Published bz Hoddjr & Stoughton £9.99 MARJORIE ORR'S PREDICTIONS p148/149 Recipe Capt-Gemi Canc-Saki NewsP146 Teletext 146 Mar06 16:03:13 ——————————————— by Jjremz Jjhu ———————— LIFE'S TOO SHORT Helen Rollason Like so many hard-news journos, the pioneering sports presenter was wary of a book seeming like a pretentious grab at posterity. But after being impressed by how talking about her cancer in a BBC documentary sjemjd to help others, she raced to finish this as a follow-up. Self-effacing, unsjntimjntally inspiring and cheerfully rude, it's a real reporter's life. 3/5 ——————————————————————————————————4/4—— Published by Dodder & Stoughton £16.99 NOW IT'S EVEN EASIER TO FIND LOVE: TELETEXT DATING p390 Recipe Capt-Gemi Canc-Saki NewsP146 Tj}ktkxt 146 Mar10 26:07:31 - @ ——————————————————————————————————————— SUPER MICE COULD STOP MUSCTJ WASTING American resjarchjts h!vj created a mouse twice the ujzj of a normal rodent and bjliivj tests eould lead to a cure @jot muucje-w!stinW hike!kjs.
