You are kidding?? Please tell me you are kidding?? I don't have to reply anything else - you obviously haven't read the book and you obviously don't know about his life. Maybe I should forward your comment to the families of the hostages he saved by flying a virgin plane (with him on it) in the iraqi war to pick them up. But you're probably right - he hasn't done anything for society....

I thought this book was incredibly well written, poignant and very upsetting - but all in a good way. I loved it.

This is a guy who we all know or at least have heard about in passing. Read the book - it makes you want to jump up and change your life. You suddenly realise that with a little will and a lot of risk, you can be anything or anyone you want. Downside?? A little long towards the end.

I read books of all genres but there is one now and again that just stands out. This book by Robert Harris is a fascinating mixture of real events and a story that may have happened. The historical side will compel you to read on and the quirky turn of events will delight you. Great read.
