About this deal

Diddy responds to rumours he wanted to fight Will Smith over threesome proposition with Jada Pinkett Smith and his ex Jennifer Lopez I enjoyed this well written book. It's a very political one. It's thrilling, but more slower than you'd expect.

There is no doubt that Alagiah knows his subject (xenophobia and corruption in South Africa) but it is somewhat surprising that, as a BBC journalist/broadcaster, someone who tells stories for a living, he should be so little in control of his material. Friends stars break silence on Matthew Perry's death at 54: Group pay an emotional tribute: 'We're taking a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss' Ad Feature Glittering costumes, impressive special effects and BELTING musical numbers: Disney's Frozen the Musical is... Matthew Perry's former fiancée Molly Hurwitz says Friends star 'would love that the world is talking about how talented he was' following his death at 54Little-known right to help YOU beat NHS waiting lists without having to wait for hospitals to invite you... as data reveals how many patients are waiting at YOUR trust This is not any easy read and Alagiah presents a disturbing portrayal of South Africa today. For anyone who has not kept abreast of the current situation in South Africa post Mandela, this book provides an informative, although somewhat pessimistic, political thriller. This is a fascinating political thriller of high calibre which looks at a changing South Africa although some problems remain the same. There are still too few ‘haves’ and too many ‘have nots’. It questions whether much has changed in reality for the multitude. As a taxi driver tells Lindi the agitators all want to be rich, drive BMW’s and not work. It looks at how power corrupts and creates a dangerous atmosphere which is very evident as Lindi who is white (born in South Africa) tries to move around the country to try to find answers. She is an excellent character and I like how she stands up for what she thinks is right as does as does Kagiso. My only negative is that there are a lot of characters to get your head round and it takes a while to establish who is who. The novel is very well written and depicts the country and it’s people so vividly it is easy to picture and it has an authentic feel. I like how at its heart it’s a murder mystery which is entangled in a complex web of politics and amassing a fortune.

Matthew Perry's co-star Rosanna Arquette pays tribute to 'kind and lovely' Friends actor and recalls his love of grape soda after death aged 54Big Brother SPOILER: Drama ERUPTS after Noky and Trish's cursed nominations are revealed to the rest of the house Written very well, you really got to know the main characters well and understood their motivations It's not my problem!': James Haskell tells Chloe Madeley to 'go speak to a therapist' after she admitted his snaps with bikini-clad girls 'embarrassed' her As a journalist, I try hard to discover the facts, the things you can see, touch and measure; As a novelist, I've tried to find the truth, something more elusive, less tangible. The Burning Land is a story I never quite managed to tell as a reporter. It's about why some people are seduced into extinguishing the flame of freedom, while others strive to keep it burning."
