ONE NOT TO MISS
|
I took a chance buying this book but wasn't disappointed. It's one of the
funniest sporting books I've ever come across but gives you a real feel of British racing and what it has to offer. It says on the back cover that 'Cartmell is afraid of offending no one'. The stories he tells certainly live up to the Racing Post review.

Humorous, informative and more...

|
Although I've only visited a few of the courses described within, since reading the book I am itching to visit more. There are some wonderful stories to accompany the sound reference that this book provides making the whole read thoroughly enjoyable!

Little more than a guidebook
|
This is just a guide book to racecourses, without any pictures.
I thought it would be a travel book around these courses detailling events and charcters met upon the way and adding a little humour and insight - it fails to deliver in this respect.
All I have done is read the reviews of the handful of courses I have been to and not bothered with the rest.
Should not be seen a travel writing.

Great book for novices and experts alike

I thouroughly enjoyed this book and am sure it will be used as a quick reference for years to come. I found it both informative and hilarious at the same time and it has definately increased my knowledge on the great courses we have around the UK. It was quite revealing to see how well the Author did in his betting!
