Reviews

[Lauren Albert · Rating 3 out of 5]

This doesn’t stand out as particularly good or bad in my mind (and in the series). But I can’t tell you whether it is due to a lack of attention or to the book itself.

[James Dempsey · Rating 5 out of 5]

An old print, 1963. Clark wears a heavy head; Lit human at Oxford followed by History followed by All Souls. This combination makes for good writing. Much looking forward, this will be a cover to cover.
