"Another dose of Hollywood. I read this years ago and still recommend it. A great read if you can forgive the constant ... as I was soon to find out. Seems to be in limited supply now"
"My entry into grown-up books. One of those tales that weaves, fact, fantasy and mysticism. A host of wonderful characters including the postwoman who can't read!"
"Researched in 1994, this book describes the harsh reality of great swathes of our green and pleasant land. The situation has not improved in the intervening years."
