Book Things - the difficult second book

[Chris]

Expect lots of book stuff to appear on the site throughout the rest of September (well, it will when I get back from sunny Dubai). We hope to run a competition like last year, except this time you'll be able to get your hands on a copy of the book before anyone else - plus some fun and exclusive audio peeks into the audiobook which will be released a week before the paper copy!

Watch this space.

Dubai? Its the place to be these days, it seems. Hmmm.

[MK Chris]

Don't you have to stay in the resorts though, so you don't get shot at or something?

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

Don't they have some islands in the shape of the world?

[MK Chris]

I don't know, but they have those man-made island in the shape of a palm tree:


and a new one due to complete this year:

[MK Chris]

I prefer your one.

[DemonHorse]

Ahh yes, the World. I saw an episode of Megastructures. Ace stuff.

[Yudster]

And they have the most beautiful hotel in the world too.

[MK Chris]

The 7 star one? Our MDs been there. We're taking a load of customers to one of the islands if they hit targets with us.

I'm still hoping Chris'll come back to my store gto sign copies of his new book so watch this space too!

Dubai, meh too hot!

A full review of the book will be posted on the site Oct 1st. And to those who are wondering - it's actually very good and very much along the same lines as the first.

The book area will launch on the site hopefully this week.

While I am not one of them, I have a subtle feeling that some people on here may say that what you are saying is a contradiction in terms.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

I would definitely be one of those "some people". Does that mean that he ignores big parts of his career and anything that he might come out of looking less than perfect?

[Chris]

Actually no, not this time. In that regard this one is much better.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

Ahh good. I would have probably read it anyway but the first one did annoy me for that. Its weird because Moyles is generally quite honest on his show about any failings hes had.

[Yudster]

I got the impression with the first book that he was writing to a prescribed formula - like he'd been given an outline and a set of things to cover, and been told to do that at the very least. Bearing in mind it was his first try, he had a limited amount of time and no experience, I wasn't entirely surprised he didn't go beyond what he did. Hopefully he has got a bit more confidence now, and the second book will reflect that. I'm sure it will be an entertaining read whatever.

I personally wouldn't bother, having been twice.

On the plus side, I did meet the shopkeeper from Mr Benn, but you won't know who he is.

hahaha

And you took a photo. Class.

He also has a tache that Tosh from The Bill fame would have been proud of.

[SAV1OUR]

I see the resemblance, thought it was a messier tache than that, he must have been too scary for me when I was younger.
