I enjoyed this less than Carroll's book on Thatcher, but it's still a well-researched, well-written story well told. I think that Carroll is reasonably balanced in how he depicts Casement. But even if you ignore his Irish heritage, one can guess wher ...more

Like faithful friends, these books never let you down. And whether it's a dodgy moustache, alpine hat, white dinner jacket or a banjolele, it all comes right in the end. ...more

Hmm...I haven't read the first volume, but I've read some of the reviews. A lot of them mention Heylin's affected writing style and tendency to snipe at other Dylan biographers. I'm afraid to say that both continue in the second volume. I'm only up t ...more

The yearly reread of a stone cold classic. Blows the January blues away and makes life worth living again. Reread in the summer this time, but the effects are still the same. A joy in the heart, a spring in the step and a warm feeling everywhere else. ...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.”
