A fictional autobiography this is a very amusing book in places and I think if you knew your cinema history it would have been funnier still. The writing is very good but the story was stretched out for 50 pages too far for me. 6/10

A Darker Domain
by Val McDermid
Good detective yarn but found the language a bit strained at times. Comments such as somebody expertly copying a picture to a pen drive grated. However, good holiday read 5/10

Chourmo
by Jean-Claude Izzo
The second book in the Marseilles trilogy and Montale has left the police force 12 months ago but gets embroiled in a mafia backed murder of a relative and friend. While the crime story is good the attraction of these books is the city of Marselles, the food and the music of Montale and the fishing trips. I enjoyed this second book more than the first and look forward to the final episode 9/10
