A great cricket book, which was very well written. On downside was I thought his opinions on his commentary colleagues was a bit politically correct. Everything else was funnily enough very gripping.

Almost patronising with its obvious details. Learnt so very little. A tedious book. 

After a slow start the book became fascinating as well as very evocative. Well worth the read. 

Certainly a much better read than Mary 1st, he predecessor. It’s meant to be brief  but still ended up with too much detail on mundane matters and not enough about her style of reign. 

A very evocative book. Lots of memories of time gone by.  A decent book. I almost wanted a bit more detail of the latter years of Admiral which seemed to have skirted by. 

I’ve read sever Penguin Monarch books and this is the worst by far. 99% was about religion. Learnt virtually nothing about Mary l. Very disappointing. 

Blimey this does get a bit gorey. Needed to be as it’s a story that needs details. 
Mostly keeps you interested.

Very interesting. Incredible how he grew so quickly. Amazing story. Not that I was particularly enamoured by him. 

As it’s about WW1 it concentrates too much on France and Belgium. 

Very well written book, really outlines what an incredible man the workaholic Sir Winston was.
