Captures The Spirit - By: Ugly Ted, 30 Apr 2008 
A great little book is this & a must have for fans of the TV show. It's full of useful info that I'm sure would comein handy on an action packed Saturday nightin town, & plenty of educational pictures as well. Not too demanding on the old brain cells to read & it's not overlong. An extremely funny book & after you have read it, its the sort that you can keep picking up & look at your favourite bits again. Don't lend it to anyone though, unless they give you a receipt or a returnable deposit, or you won't see it again. Very good overall, a good laff, highly recommended. Also have a look at Al Murray's 'Pub landlord' & 'The Post Box at the Crossroads' by Alan Bates.
Funny, but short - By: Peter Symonds, 10 Mar 2008 
I read thisin about an hour at the weekend. Its incredibly funny, its pure Gene Hunt (mentally I kept hearing Philip Glensiter as I read it) but its also very expensive for what you get. There's about 30 words per page & lots of photos. If you're live, sleep & breath 'life on mars' this is essential fan material, but for the rest of us I'd really recommend you just buy the TV series on DVD... you'll get much better value for money.
What we could never really get away with - By: John A. Walker, 25 Dec 2007 This spin-off is a cracking read. From a professional standpoint,'Life on Mars'in truth was a tad overstated & it depicted a style of Policing that some might have wished for. The story lines were close to the bone though & brought back memories of life even before the seventies. This little gem of a book is a must-have for any fans of the drama series. Buy it & be prepared to listen to the Gospel according to Gene Hunt. If you miss this one, you'll be as disappointed as a Detective who puts his handin his pocket & finds the warrant is missing!
The Thoughts of Chairman Gene - By: Tony Williams, 28 Oct 2007 This book is a real gem & my title is not accidental. A little bit largerin size than the famous "Little Red Book", the inside cover features a picture of the Guv reminding one of Mao's photoin that earlier production. But whereas the Little Red Book" was more seriousin nature, this is a lot more fun as well as also being a key product of its historical era. LIFE ON MARS was a pioneering television series that finally ended some ten years of mediocre television drama & opened the way for other achievements. These "Rules" reflect the unseen presence of "The Guv" prompting the new plainclothesman ("plonks" are naturally not recognized & their presence grudgingly admitted) into an awareness of 1973 police work. Also, the multiple choice tests, with scores by young Chris Skleton, are much more hilarious than any boring multiple choice test for school A levels or immigration tests. It is a great follow up to a great series & a suitable companion volume to the author's co-authored work on Season One of the series. Yes, it is much cheaper on amazon,com. wherever one isin the world & whatever the exchange rate. A definite buy for all real fans of the series suitably aged with faked non-acid free paper with marks of pint glass rims soiling the pages & other items easily identifiable with the Guv. Guy Adams has done a great job.

also it seems a lot cheaper on Amazon than elsewhere!
