I don't know if Amazon.co.uk randomise or customise their recommendations. However, right now of the 5 Books they recommend here's the list;

Anne Robinson, Memoirs of an Unfit Mother
Ian Fleming's Story of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! The Magical Car (Adapted for Beginning readers) by Ian Fleming, et al
My Name's Bond by Ian Fleming, Simon Winder (Editor)
Learning to Fly by Victoria Beckham
High Time to Kill by Raymond Benson

Interesting to see Bond in there so much!

I'm sure Anne would be most gratified to learn that.

Yes. Curious selection criteria.

One of those books was written by an overhyped egotist. I'll leave you lot to work out which.

(clue: "written" does not include "ghostwritten" for the purposes of this exercise)
