Which way to turn?,
This review is from: On the Wall with Hadrian (Paperback)
This is a book which is trying to do too many things- offer advice, give a background to history, a guide to the best of the Wall- it's not sure which it wants to do. Any Scots will be disappointed by the constant ravings about the 'Jocks' and the silly jokes don't always hit the mark. It is a good supplement to the Mark Richards Guide to the Wall- but I think Bob needs to choose a voice, and stick with it.

Dr Bob's best so far!,
By
This review is from: On the Wall with Hadrian (Paperback)
Bob Bibby's idiosyncratic, not to say wacky, sense of humour, coupled with genuine enthusiasm for his subject make this a highly readable and enjoyable travelogue - better than Theroux in my opinion. Bob is in danger of bringing a new lease of life to this sometimes jaded literary form and this is the best of an entertaining bunch. Where next, Bob? I can hardly wait.
