Entitled by Andrew Lownie
Rate this book
Clear rating
Listened to the audiobook. A brilliantly researched portrait of its subjects. I came away with an even lower opinion of Andrew than before (unprintable here) and a more complex view of Fergie. My only criticism is that more care could have been taken ...more
