5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Entertainment, 14 Mar 2000
By A Customer
London Cardinals, excellent! As an American, living in London at the time I read the 51st State, and someone who studied British and American Politics at University (College), I believe Peter Preston truly has his finger on the pulse of insight and entertainment. His examples and vision of the future are clear and modest, not convoluting the story line, but rather enhancing it. Since reading the book, I bring references to it continually in conversations with both American and British friends and colleagues. Hats off to interesting, insightful reading.

1.0 out of 5 stars good story - but he can't be bothered to write it, 28 Feb 2000
By A Customer
the premise is intriguing. the story's twists and turns are great. Unfortunately, there's enough material for at least a trilogy, but Preston just churns out plot - without any writing. You want him to go a least a little into the background of his story but there's never time. I had to constantly refer to the huge character list at the front or else I'd've been lost. So near, yet so far.
