From sport's weirdest rules to its most unlikely heroes, via comically large cricket bats, pole-vaulting priests, creative football chants and exploding billiard balls, each chapter of Everything to Play For is brimming with surprising facts and intriguing stories. Even if you've never asked yourself what David Attenborough has to do with yellow tennis balls, why Victorian doctors feared the outbreak of 'bicycle face' or what led ancient Egyptian athletes to have their spleens removed, this book will give you the astonishing answers - and plenty more besides.

Christmas is the single biggest annual event on the planet, a time for merry-making, over-indulgence, peace, goodwill, and the occasional family row. It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.

For five grand a month and a million-dollar chaser, Roger Mulligan didn't care how crazy the old geezer was. All he had to do was keep Joseph Perry Shackleford alive and keep him from squandering the estate for a year. But they didn't tell him about the pixies.

Private Detective Cormoran Strike is visiting his family in Cornwall when he is approached by a woman asking for help finding her mother, Margot Bamborough - who went missing in mysterious circumstances in 1974. Strike has never tackled a cold case before, let alone one 40 years old. But despite the slim chance of success, he is intrigued and takes it on; adding to the long list of cases that he and his partner in the agency, Robin Ellacott, are currently working on.

Probably the best book I have ever experienced
Revisado: 10-11-20
The depth and texture of this book is amazing. I've listened to it 4 times already. For someone who is rich enough that they no longer need to write, to produce such a fantastic, beautifully written series of books shows that is just a work of art for art's sake.
I got the 'wrong' version of the book where one of the character's names was mispronounced and will go ahead and download the updated version.

Too much politics and stupidity
Revisado: 08-22-20
The Current era politics is going to make this book age real soon. As an Australian I found the ongoing dialogue of Trump versus Clinton both boring and exclusive.
The two main characters were so self centered I wanted to slap them. And the way the poor skeleton was abused made me sad,
Yeah but other than that a rollicking good tale.

Thank for making me laugh
Revisado: 04-17-20
What a great freebie. Stars just being silly on the phone to each other. Talking about their families. Made me smile and laugh.
I didn't really get the Karupt FM crew as they are new to me but I'm going to look them up.

Titan was one of the nation's most loved and respected Heroes, until an infidelity scandal tore his image and family apart. After decades spent out of the limelight, Owen Daniels has decided to take up the mantle of Titan once again to try and make amends for his years away. Unfortunately, the Titan Scandal is still common knowledge, and no Hero team wants such a polarizing figure.

Never been into the superhero genre but this series has been incredible. Amazing thought into story building, The madness of super hero powers clashing, Then people dealing with the aftermath whilst keeping up their sponsorship obligations. Pure fantasy mixed in with the corporate side of reality. Hope there are more books in this series

Knowledge is power. That would be the motto of Lander University, had it not been snatched up and used to death by others long before the school was founded. For while Lander offers a full range of courses to nearly all students, it also offers a small number of specialty classes to a very select few. Lander is home to the Hero Certification Program, a curriculum designed to develop students with superhuman capabilities, commonly known as Supers, into official Heroes.

"No killing Goblins." So reads the sign outside of The Wandering Inn, a small building run by a young woman named Erin Solstice. She serves pasta with sausage, blue fruit juice, and dead acid flies on request. And she comes from another world. Ours. It's a bad day when Erin finds herself transported to a fantastical world and nearly gets eaten by a Dragon. She doesn't belong in a place where monster attacks are a fact of life, and where Humans are one species among many. But she must adapt to her new life. Or die.

Dislike - the two main characters were constantly whinging
Like - everything else about this book. The other characters were great, the world was intriguing. It was a rolercoaster ride of a book.

Now, the man who calls himself Sherman Holmes is being studied like a lab rat by a top-secret government agency. How is it he can be barely clinging to reality one minute - yet be a seeming genius the next? Within his brain might just be the greatest scientific breakthrough of the millennium, if anyone can figure out how to access it. Enter the agent code named Watson.

I didn’t have high expectations for this. Don’t know why. To start with I thought it was a bit of a basic chase story, but all of a sudden I got really emotionally attached to the lead characters. Hope there are more books to come!
