Customer Reviews

Great Idea these short reads!
I have been drawn into the six nations tournament primarily due to Wales's performance against England. It was like Rocky's first match where he waits to the last minute to win. So I was keen to find out a bit more about rugby and especially Welsh Rugby. I found this to be the ideal book as his enthusiasm for the game was very well written and I loved his appreciation for the fans that followed the teams to different continents. He is very open about his learning difficulties but it is very inspiring to see that this didn't hold him back and he managed to overcome the problems as he encountered them. It is great that it only takes about three hours to read so I think that these quick reads are an excellent idea. Although they are short you don't feel cheated, there is more than enough room to get their point across. Will be seeking out some more of these little books.
