Taylor Bright liked Mhbright's review of Homage to Catalonia: " Wounded by a Fascist bullet at the front, Orwell faced an even greater danger when he returned to Barcelona and narrowly escaped when the Stalinist faction suppressed the Trotskyite faction. A very vivid and moving account of the six months that Orw... " Read more of this review »

Taylor Bright liked Mhbright's review of The Fighting Temeraire: " Wonderful account of the ship that captured two French ships at Trafalgar and was much later the subject of Turner's painting, voted the favorite of the English public.
