Operation Mincemeat: An Ingenious WW2 Deception
Having just read Ben Macintyre’s wonderful account and analysis of Operation Mincemeat, it brought to mind the film review I’d written some years ago for The Daily Opinion of The Man Who Never Was, the movie version of this incredible WW2 story. Such is my enthusiasm for both book and film, I thought I’d post links to them here.

| I didn't enjoy this prequel to Jane Eyre as much as I was hoping to. I found the narrative to be rather confusing as was the plot. If I hadn't read Jane Eyre beforehand I think I would've been completely lost. While I'm glad I've read it, I'm pretty ...more | |

| This second novel in the series moves the story on from Ramses's early years to the first few years of his reign. All the characters we got to know in the first one are still there and the undercurrent of treachery continues to build. I like the imag ...more | |

| I love these Victorian era novels with a strong and moral female as the central character and Jane Eyre is no exception. Hauntingly atmospheric at times a Bronte sister produces yet another wonderful read. | |

| I enjoyed this opening novel to the Rameses saga with its well-drawn characters and its nicely paced narrative. It all paints a very convincing picture of this most interesting of ancient times. The plots builds steadily as the chapters pass and as t ...more | |

| Another epic from Wilbur Smith detailing the trials and tribulations of two generations of the heroic Courteney family. The scope of these multi-generational Courteney novels is enormous and the action barely lets up at all in this one's 700+ pages. ...more | |

| This was an enjoyable albeit fairly formulaic archaeological mystery thriller. The two main characters felt a little like Lara Croft and Indiana Jones. The action was well-paced though and the author had clearly researched his subject but overall, I' ...more | |

| I enjoyed this second Hawkwood novel as much as I did the first (Ratcatcher). The narrative is well paced, the main characters are nicely defined without too much detail and back-story to trudge through and the descriptions of Regency London are very ...more | |

| I added this novel to my reading list primarily because its plot unfolds along the Coast to Coast path in northern England and was hoping that it would be a sort of travelogue of this popular walking route. However, I was more than happy to discover ...more | |
