Customer Reviews

Great read!!

I'm so impressed with Felix Francis's writing style and ability. I have read every sing of his father's books, and so I was interested to see if the son had inherited similar literary talents. The book reads really smoothly, has a number of very clever twists and holds the readers' attention. I did not want to put it down.
