3.0 out of 5 stars Trivial, but unimportant, 5 Nov 2008
By Palmer Clark (Derbyshire) - See all my reviews
Easy reading, dotted with interesting (to me) factoids. I did look forward to reading the next instalment of the authors search each night. However I feel it led to a disappointing conclusion which makes me think maybe I should have read something else instead.
