Much More Than Mrs Thaw - By: The Kinniburgh Kid, 29 Oct 2008 
Authors reading their own work can sometimes be a mistake, but notin this case.
Sheila Hancock delivers her words as if she is saying them for the first time, giving me, the listener, the sort of intimate experience the work deserves. It is like listening to an audio letter from an old, dear friend.
There is much more to this than simply learning to go on holiday or eatin a restart alone - as much of the publicity surrounding the launch suggested - & it will bear repeat listening.
She is clearly a very interesting, intelligent woman, not something you can say about all actresses, & her tales of times old & recent make up a revealing, but definitely not sensationalistic, picture of someone I wished I'd known better before.
just me by sheila hancock - By: Mr. David P. Yeoman, 29 Sep 2008 well done sheila!I thoroughly enjoyed your book, i feel as though i have gone on your journey with you from just the two of us,it makes you realise that there is life after death, it does take courage, but if you are prepared to dip your toein the water, its amazing what happens, i am getting my husband to read it too, because it does prepare you for the inevitable, be it him or me.I also enjoy being at an age where you dont care what you say or do, its so refreshing & liberating,next time you go away & your friend cannot make it, i would love to tag along for the adventure!!!!!!!!!!! looking forward to the next book from you.
How to overcome widowhood - By: H. Carlton, 25 Sep 2008 
This account by Sheila Hancock of how she coped with widowhood is honest, gripping & nicely-written.
I am not sure who it is intended for....other widows, perhaps, who might (while they are reading this) aquire a little of Mrs Thaw's couragein getting out there after deciding that life, what's left of it, is worth living after all.
It might help other women who find themselvesin her situation.
And any single person who travels will sympathise & identify with her graphic account of how it feels to walk into a hotel restaurant for dinner & a table for one. (Take a book!)
I think she's gutsy, & a good writer.
