Review
"It is a great virtue in a cricket writer, the ability to flourish a polished anecdote or a droll quotation like a man embellishing an engaging conversation... Anything [Booth] writes is going to be worth reading" * Wisden * "Engaging... a delight" -- Peter Wilby * Observer * "One of England's funniest and most engaging cricket writers" * Independent * "Lawrence Booth has put together a sports book like no other" * Daily Express * "Wry, affectionate, irreverent and full of delicious anecdotes" * Metro *
