Commissioned by the Fleming Estate to write in the style of Ian Fleming’s James Bond.
All a bit simple and coincidental. A disappointing read.

“This came with high critical acclaim, typical of the critics to rave about a book which is a nightmare to read.
Lots of Yiddish words and a plodding plot.

“This Richard and Judy pick which was bought for me by my adorable partner, meant I had to read it, groan.
TV celeb GRJ’s autobiog begin from the earliest days to present. This writing reminds me what good writing is and this isn’t. Often I’d have to reread passages to make sense of them.
I never warmed to him and finished wondering why I’d bothered.
