Format:Hardcover
Clunky writing style and an incoherent ramble through the subject. He treats the reader as if he is from outer space, for example explaining who the Beatles were. It is a promising subject but this is really a very lightweight cut and paste job.
Format:Hardcover
What a boring book. It read like some of the essays I used to write in University. By that I mean padding out chapters with waffle to reach the desired word count. Read the Sunday Times rich list instead. Its much more interesting.
