The first full-length Jeeves and Wooster, it's not one of the Master's best, but there're still enough excellent lines in the book to put it in the top tier. The plot is a bit iffy, and later editions have had to clear out the racist epithets, but it ...more

I've read umpteen books about the Cambridge spies, but this is the first one that has really given me a sense of the consequences of what they did. A lot of books about the Five focus on the boozing, the parties, the privileged backgrounds, the social ...more

I must admit, I came to this book by accident; I intended to order the first volume and mistakenly picked up the second instead. Having not yet read the first, I was diving into the deep end of the Duke’s later years. While this volume does open with ...more

I'd never read a biography of Montgomery before, so I came to this one with fresh eyes. I bought it because the blurb includes Andrew Roberts' endorsement, calling it the best book written about Montgomery. If that's the case, then the competition mu ...more

“He rose late. He was recklessly extravagant and a notorious womaniser. The King was never a cipher. But well before his world was clouded by illness and insanity his capacity for public business was limited. He was idle, slow-witted and easily bored.”
