Reviews

[Dennis · Rating 3 out of 5]

Essays on the world. Now, unfortunately, out of date. For an absolutely delightful book, read his autobiography Dear Me.

[Jbondandrews · Rating 4 out of 5]

It is strange to read events that occured twenty years ago, that are still relevant today. Peter's comments are insightful and at times amusing.
