LOCaL utho John Fowle hs publshed hs

ltest novel.

John, who lives in Gayton, has penned Everton or

What which is based on his experiences as a young

man in Liverpool in the 1960s.

Its a follow up to his rst

book called Growing

up in Liverpool before

Beatlemania which was

based on his teenagediaries of the time.

Said John: Quite a

number of people asked

me to do a follow-up,

but I had not kept any

more diaries. Therefore,

I decided to write this

latest book as a novel, with the story being inuenced by

personal experiences, but, being ction, it gives the author

poetic licence.

Like many youngsters, the formative years were

inuenced by music,and football, and many men will

identify with this tale, set at the beginning of the Sixties.

Decisions

John was born in Liverpool in 1944, brought up in Walton,

and attended the Liverpool Collegiate Grammar School.

Now retired, he has lived in Gayton for 32 years.

His latest novel follows a year in the life of a 16/17-year-old young man who is studying A levels at school, is a

brilliant footballer with ambitions to play for Everton and is

also a singer in a rock group about to make a record. On

the brink of manhood, he faces three paths of where his

life is going to take him: education, pop music or football.

John jokingly added: This is the 4th book I have

published, and I think Steven Speilberg has snapped up

the lm rights, if he can get Robert Redford to play me

now, and Johnny Depp as me as a teenager!

BOOK REVIEWS:

WHaTS NeW iN THe BOOK WORLdBY ELEANOR DAVIES, FROM LINGHAMS BOOKSTORE, HESWALL

General Fiction: Pigeon English by Stephen Kelman

Recently emigrated from Ghana to one of Londons enormous housing projects, young

Harrison Opuku nds wonder in his new and ever-expanding world. Then one of his

classmates, a boy known for his crazy basketball skills, seemed to have been murdered

for his dinner. Armed with a pair of camouage binoculars and detective techniques

absorbed from television shows like CSI, Harri and his best friend, Dean, plot to bring

the perpetrator to justice. Told in Harris infectious voice and multicultural slang, Pigeon

English follows in the tradition of our great novels of friendship and adventure.

Based on the Damilola Taylor murder case, this wonderful funny, sad, deep book by

a brand new author has already been shortlisted for this years Booker Prize. I foundit completely gripping from the rst page to the jaw-dropping nal sentence- which

probably means it wont win! But I defy anyone not to love it.

Biography: Back from the Brink: 1,000 Days at Number 11

by Alistair Darling

In the summer of late 2007, shares of Northern Rock went into

free-fall causing a run on the bank - the rst since the Great

Depression. Northern Rock was only the rst: in the ensuing

months, Alistair Darling stood rm in the eye of this perfect storm -

all over the world nancial institutions thought too big to fail were

falling prey to the lethal toxicity of the US sub-prime mortgage

market. Back from the Brink tells the gripping story of one

thousand days of crisis. The book describes how, as chancellor, he

attended all night meetings at the White House, interspersed with

confrontations with the titans of international banking; as readers,

we nd ourselves in the rooms where the destinies of millions

weighed heavily on the shoulders of a few. Back from the Brink

is a gripping and immediate account of an unprecedented global nancial catastrophe.

Alistair Darlings knowledge and understanding make this not only a unique perspective

on the events that rocked global capitalism, but a vital and fascinating historical

document.

Cookery: Ramsays Best MenusGordon Ramsays last TV series, The F Word, culminated in a competition to nd

the nations favourite local restaurant. His new series, Ramsays Best Restaurants,

continues this theme, focusing on the countrys favourite international cuisines: Italian,

French, Spanish, Mediterranean, British, Chinese, Indian, Moroccan, Mexican and

Middle Eastern etc etc. To complement the series Gordon has here selected not just his

favourite menus from these cuisines, but also the perfect Spring, Summer, Autumn and

Winter menus. His 52 chosen menus, comprising 156 recipes for starters, main courses

and desserts, are displayed in such a way, on sliced pages, that the reader can mix and

match to create their own favourite menu for any occasion and any time of year. The

result is an incredible 140,000 different menu choices in stunning colour photography.Mouthwatering!
