Lord John Warwick book review,
By
This review is from: John Taylor Lord Taylor of Warwick - Barrister (Black Profiles) (Hardcover)
The book seems to be aimed at children or low literacy rated readers. Basic. Informative. Interesting
5.0 out of 5 stars
A great book for all to read.,
By A Customer
This review is from: John Taylor Lord Taylor of Warwick - Barrister (Black Profiles) (Hardcover)
It is easy to think that because someone is a Peer or Lord they are superhuman or have some other mysterious powers. This book shows that you can be a Lord and be a real person with feelings and your feet firmly on the ground. Lord Taylor is a man of great feeling and great understanding of what it means to be human. This book shows how great leaders are made and is a role model for all children to follow. It should be standard reading on all children's reading lists.

From Lawyer to Lord,
By A Customer
This review is from: John Taylor Lord Taylor of Warwick - Barrister (Black Profiles) (Hardcover)
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I found it inspiring and well written. It is a true story of a young man of Afro-Caribbean background who becomes a member of the House of Lords. He meets difficulties along the way but achieves his goals by retaining his vision.I found the front cover particularly attractive and the pictures in the book did not detract from the storyline. I have some friends who have also read the book and they also feel it has a very positive message. Hopefully, it will inspire young people of all ages, colours and backgrounds to follow their dreams.
