Disfruta una vez más con Pilar, La Muerte, Óscar y un nuevo personaje que no te dejará indiferente, donde nada es lo que parece. ¿Qué harías si te dijeran que te quedas sin cuerpo, porque le pertenece a una muerta capulla que lo «necesita» en el Infierno para no tener que pasar la eternidad en una bolsa de basura con dos agujeros por ojos? Pilar vive en un cuento de hadas con Óscar, el verdadero amor de su vida. Su nuevo pisito, su cuerpo mejorado y el dinero en el banco hacen que su existencia lo tiña todo de color de rosa. Lo último que ella se imagina es que La Muerte sigue sus pasos de cerca, esperando el momento oportuno para avisarle de que hay un pequeño, ridículo, minúsculo problema...: Andrea exije que su cuerpo le sea devuelto para poder pasar la eternidad en el Infierno. La Muerte se lo robó, y lo quiere de vuelta. El inconveniente es que Pilar está utilizando ese cuerpo, no tiene otro. Su suerte se decide en un juicio del que no puede escapar, donde no tiene más remedio que aceptar un juego donde perdería todo lo que ha conseguido hasta ahora. Acepta y vuelve a la vida en un cuerpo totalmente desconocido para ella, en otra vida, con La Muerte como consejera (muy a su pesar) y a la verdadera Andrea de vuelta de entre los muertos, dispuesta a recuperar a Óscar.

Es una novela muy divertida y fresca, justo lo que apetece en esta época.» «Una novela de amor que se sale de todos los cánones. Una muerte irreverente que somete a la protagonista a sus deseos. Una protagonista que evoluciona con el tiempo y deja de ser de lo más snob para convertirse en una mujer tierna y valiente. Un protagonista masculino que adoraré para siempre.» «Me ha encantado la historia de principio a fin, es muy entretenida y graciosa. He buscado más tiempos libres para poder terminarlo porque necesitaba seguir leyendo.» «¡¡¡Muy recomendable para pasar unas cuantas horas sin dejar de sonreír!!!»

Alanatomy: The Inside Story
by Alan Carr***If you loved Alan's first memoir - Look Who It Is! - then his follow-up, Alanatomy, will take you further into the hilarious and bizarre world of the country's favourite chatty man.***'As laugh out loud as his TV shows' Daily MirrorIt must seem strange to you that I've called a book Alanatomy . . . For anyone who has taken the time to see my stand-up performances or watched my chat show, 'Chattyman', knows that my body has hardly been kind to me - in fact there've been times when we've actually stopped talking to each other. Balding, myopic, often flaky with psoriasis, back fat that hangs suspended like a cape, a voice that could strip varnish, an increasingly dodgy hip and even dodgier teeth. Why would you draw attention to it? you must ask. Couldn't you just call the book something else? Do you think the Great British Public is ready to pore over your body? Well, as I turn forty and take stock of my showbiz life over the last ten years or so, I have learnt to embrace my flaws and face my shortcomings. In fact, strange as it might seem, the things I hate about myself have become my trademark and I am slowly, begrudgingly learning to, if not love them, to at least live with them. I am ready now to take a long hard look at myself and that's what Alanatomy is. It's the story of my rise to fame: the joys, the traumas, the parties, the disappointments. Hopefully you will find it witty, fun, heartwarming, but more importantly honest, and that it will keep you entertained every time you pick it up. Alanatomy is the chance for you to get beneath my skin and see the real me because, and to continue the anatomical theme if I may, this showbiz existence can sometimes feel like an autopsy - picked at, probed and scrutinized with every inch of your body held up for analysis, but unlike an actual autopsy, you are very much alive. So I give you Alanatomy: The Inside Story. I am laying myself out on the slab for your entertainment; naked, stripped bare. Grab your scalpel, peel back the skin and go deep, have a good old probe around at my life so far. Yes, you are going to find guts, a fair bit of cheek, maybe even a little bit of gristle, but hopefully, you'll find a whole lot of heart.
