Reviews

[T P Kennedy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Falls into the QI category. A quite interesting anthology of mixed content. Some of the shorter pieces were very compelling but much of the content left me cold. It's a beautiful production and the quality of the volume compensates for some of the weaker contributions.
