Bloomsbury Chester's Big Surprise (Bloomsbury Paperbacks)
<I>Chester's Big Surprise </I>is a wonderful, hardback storybook written by a new author, Olivia Villet. It is a story of everyday life that has a background to which children can relate: going to the shops, visiting school, friendships, birth, playing together. However, in this story the principal characters are dogs Chester and Tilda and the plot revolves round the favourite places that Chester visits in order to find Tilda. What a surprise he gets when he finally finds her! The illustrations are simple and uncomplicated, using large blocks of appropriate colour and they offer lots of opportunities for discussion, directly and indirectly related to the story. The text is very natural and childlike. <p> The book is intended for toddlers but it would be equally appropriate and enjoyable for older children.--<I>Susan Naylor</I>

Picador Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination
Where do you go after Bridget Jones? Creator Helen Fielding's response has been to go somewhere completely different. <i>Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination</i>, Fielding's fourth novel, is a spy-thriller whose sassy heroine, the eponymous Joules, doesn't fret about weight gain, laddering her tights or Chardonnay and fags in the manner of her predecessor. Oh no--Olivia, once plain old Rachel Pixley from Worksop, is a self-made, go-getting journalist for the <I>Sunday Times</I> and <I>Elan</I> magazine with, or so her colleagues at the <I>ST</I> maintain, an overactive imagination and an impeccable gift for languages. Both of these come in handy when Olivia is despatched to Miami to cover a face-cream launch, meets the enigmatic Pierre Ferramo, an international playboy, and finds herself on the scene of an al-Qaeda bomb attack. (Question: where, exactly, do Elsie and Edward rustle up that tray of tea from?)<p> Cue meetings with suitably disreputable people (wannabe film stars, Arab carpet vendors, spies, terrorists) in an array of exotic locales (LA, Honduras, Egypt) as Olivia goes on the trail of the terrorists and, utterly implausibly, is recruited to MI6 (they can't get the staff nowadays). A ridiculous plot is not exactly a hanging offence in a spy-thriller, which is probably just as well here. Sadly, for Fielding, however, we do inhabit a post-Austin-Powers universe and Olivia, a walking digest of Susan Jeffers platitudes, is hard to take: seriously or otherwise. None of it is very funny, nor thrilling. Olivia is more Nancy Drew than Modesty Blaise or, crucially, Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum. <p> Still, you can have great fun playing Bond-bingo with the clichés. Family wiped out in freak accident. Tick. Greasy henchmen. Tick. Gadgets. Tick. Charismatic al-Qaeda villain, who to Olivia's amusement, admittedly, really does use the sentences: It is a great delicacy in our land and Evidently, you are connoisseur of great beauty. As am I. (Alas, I expect you to die, Ms Joules and He's inside the belly of that steel beast, do not materialise.) Maybe there's a clue in the title; perhaps the whole shebang is intended to be taken with a huge bag of Saxo. As Scott Rich, the CIA hunk, says to Olivia as the tale closes: Oh don't be silly, lovey. It's just a figment of your overactive imagination. If only. --<I>Travis Elborough</I>

HarperCollins Young Wives
The women in Olivia Goldsmith novels always share the same unfortunate affliction: they have been dumped on by men--usually from a very great height. Following this formula, <I>Young Wives</I> is rather like her best-seller <I>The First Wives Club</I> (the film of the book starred Diane Keaton, Bette Midler and Goldie Hawn), set a decade earlier.<p>Three women from different walks of life, with different styles and different tastes, with the usual common denominator: dishonest, lazy, arrogant, selfish, good-for-nothing husbands (choose adjective to fit).<p> Angie is a lawyer about to celebrate her first wedding anniversary to her drop-dead-gorgeous, perfectly groomed, Ivy-League catch. Except the catch has a catch of his own to drop--and it's not exactly conducive to a long and happy marriage.<p>Michelle and Jada meanwhile are best friends, in spite of their many differences. Beautiful, long-legged blonde Mich is happily married to Frank whose role is to provide. Everything. Mich and her two children want for nothing. Jada, the only black career girl in the neighbourhood, is married to Clinton, an unemployed builder who can't even raise the enthusiasm to finish the kitchen floor. As the sole breadwinner, Jada is forced to work longer and longer hours to provide for her three kids.<p> It's not long before the worms turn. And, just like those <I>First Wives</I>, our <I>Young Wives</I> have a whole lot of avenging to be doing. Thankfully though, it really doesn't matter whether o |
