Reviews

[Tony · Rating 3 out of 5]

I do love Mr Thomas but this is a long way from his best. Well-enough written, but lacking any real direction and I just couldn't get a handle on the characters at all. It lacks the sensitivity of Goodnight & Loving, Tropic of Ruislip, Virgin Soldiers, Dangerous Davies et al.

Read if you're a real LT nut, but there are so many better books of his that deserve your attention.

By no means the best.
