Ein Meisterwerk für Bibliophile
Vallejo nimmt bibliophile LeserInnen gerne mit auf die Reise. Folgt ihrer Einladung, denn ihr Werk ist allemal eine Entdeckung wert: brilliant geschrieben, sachlich sehr gut recherchiert. Mit viel Umsicht vermittelt Vallejo Einblicke in sehr komplexe Themen. Fast wünschte man, diese faszinierende Entdeckungsreise möge nie enden, doch zufrieden kehrt man nach weit über 600 Seiten heim. Mit einem Lächeln im Gesicht erfreut man sich, dass man selbst Teil einer solchen, unglaublich bereichernden Buchwelt sein darf.

Jedem Bibliophilen kann ich die Lektüre nur wärmstens empfehlen. 
Like quizzing? Did you even like it before the pandemic when it did not just happen over Zoom, with Google all too close at hand? Think that it's a shame quizzes very often only scratch the bibliophilic surface with very obvious questions about writers everyone has heard of while music fans get to come across as exceptionally intelligent in complex and challenging music rounds?

I could go on posing these question but quite honestly if you like books and quizzes, Gary Wigglesworth has put a great fun, challenging set of questions together to make up for all of the music rounds that lost your teams top marks in the past. The question are broad enough to sweep up a lot of tastes and there is a fun mix of pure trivia and more needling teasers. Great fun and (while we stubbornly stay in lockdown) it is a pretty effective way to pass an evening in between the sourdough fold and stretches...
Keine Biografie und kein Fotoband, vielmehr eine Hommage an eine der weltweit größten Ikonen ist dieses Buch, das kompakt und schlicht daherkommt, aber in Augenaufschlagsschnelle zu verführen weiß.
Marilyn Monroe glauben wir alle zu kennen, doch wer Norma Jean Mortenson Baker Monroe hinter der perfekt einstudierten Rolle wirklich war, bleibt ein ewiges Rätsel. Massimiliano Capella nähert sich respektvoll ihrer Geschichte und Persönlichkeit und macht neugierig, sich weiter und tiefer mit dem Mensch Marilyn zu beschäftigen, sein Schwerpunkt liegt jedoch auf ihrem einzigartigen Stil, der ein entscheidendes Puzzlestück ihres strahlenden, die Zeiten überdauernden Erfolgs gewesen ist.
Die ausgewogene Mischung aus Hinzergrundwissen, Insiderdetails und wunderschönen Fotos ergibt ein stilsicheres Geschenk, nicht nur für Mode-und Ästhetikfreund*innen.

Rhys B. Davies hails from South Wales. Growing up as a child of the nineties, he was reared on a mix of Saturday-morning cartoons, blockbuster films and all manner of literature, from Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl to Crichton, Clancy and Cussler.
