Masquerade

Brilliant

Marvellous and evocative biography. Warmly recommended to anyone interested in 20th century theatre. Original structure offers a route to a meaningful portrait of a difficult genius.

Barbara Comyns

Decent biography

This is a decent biography of a brilliant writer. Clearly, the material available is patchy and limited, but Barbara Comyns is such a brilliant subject that I'm delighted to have a biography available.
It's well written and readable too.

The Dentist

Great!

Wonderful start to the series, and George is a fascinating version of the standard police detective. A definite cut above the normal krimi

Heresy

Brilliant

Well written, with fascinating content. Every page brings a start of recognition, a wry grin or a full guffaw. I'm delighted I bought it, and delighted to recommend it.

Rotten

Dreadful. Awful writing, bad grammar, ludicrous story, totally worthless.
Please don't buy this pile of trash - it would encourage the writer.

Coco Chanel, New Edition: The Legend and the Life

A rotten book

Don't waste money on this. It is neither a successful biography nor an explanation of the revolutionary clothes. I know the author is a fashion journalist, but I had expected a decent biography at least. I can't understand how anyone can make Chanel so utterly dull.

Cover Your Tracks

Don't buy this

Utter rubbish, unleavened by any wit or insights. If you do buy it, I will admire you greatly if you make it to the end.

A Matter of Time

Goodness, how dull

This was utterly tedious - by page 50, I was hoping that the gunman would kill her, to spare me any more of the drab daddy-and-brother porridge. Sadly she survives.

1999: Manchester United, the Treble and All That

You don't have to be a United fan

Fantastic snap-shot of the 98/99 season, with vivid portraits of the main actors. Keane, Sheringham, Scholes, Sir Alex all stand illuminated on the field of dreams. Time travel in 400 pages.
