Jim's Most Popular Reviews

I found this book excessively wordy. If they trimmed out some of the word salad and got to the point it would be much easier to learn from.

I got the feeling that the author had as much fun writing this book as I did reading it. There is a quote from The Mail On Sunday on the front of my copy which reads “Endlessly fascinating”, which is only half true because sadly the book does eventually come to an end.
