Review
An elegant journey from the playing fields of Eton in the 1950s...into the muddy waters of today's match fixing allegations * Independent on Sunday * No shortage here of shrewd comment and fascinating in-pavilion gosip * Sunday Telegraph * A meticiously researched book and well worth a read...it is difficult to put down. * The Times * A Thirst for Life cannot be praised too highly. It is erudite, eccentric, eclectic and otherwise extremely well written...Blofeld is a latter-day Wodehouse with his witty obeservations of people and class * Independent *
