Book Review: Buddhism for Dummies



Book: Buddhism for Dummies
Author: Jonathan Landlaw & Stephan Bodian

Buddhism for Dummies, like all dummies books, gives a simple yet encompassing view of all beliefs, customs, histories, geography and vocabulary. It is easy to read but is probably best read in chapters separately. With a very useful cheat sheet and advice for absolute novices to Buddhism.
So this book has won an 8/10.

Book Review: Danger Society

Book: Danger Society
Author: Charlie Higson

This is an essential read for all fans of Higson's Bond Series. It begins with a short story set after hurricane gold and then goes into a fact file of the characters, weapons, history, geography and animals of the various Young Bond episodes.
I would recommend this book to anyone who has read the previous Bond stories.
So this book has achieved an 8/10.
