 Very inaccurate and boring August 8, 2007

After reading hundreds of books on The Queen Mother, this was simply a beat-up to make a young equerry into something he wasn't. It is well known the Queen Mother does not become familiar to staff particularly one with no aristocratic background. Some of the stories were a mishmash of stories previously told by reputable sources. I feel Colin Burgess lived in a fantasy world whilst in service to Clarence house and probably continues to bore his friends and family with repreated anecdotes. For example: the story about him receiving a MVO when a lady was recounting her receiving an MBE goes to show inverted snobbery by Colin Burgess. If he was really fond of HM he would not have cashed in on a book she would not have appreciated.
 A great book for experts and fans alike! February 4, 2007

This is a great book and an absorbing read. Bowers clearly knows his subject, and provides us with many unknown and interesting facts that shed light on the personality of this unique tennis champion. The descriptions of the games are particularty good and left this reader with the impression that he was listening to live commentaries! The first reviewer is wrong to say there are factual errors, having obviously based his opinion on an earlier, inaccurate synopsis on this page, which has since been corrected. In short: A highly recommended book for tennis lovers.

Ok I confess - reading books about the Royal Family is one of my more harmless vices. This book does not dissapoint - lots of amusing stories about the Queen Mother. I raced through it in an evening.
Great Read! September 12, 2006

It's a great book, though a bit premature. It's a bit strange making a biography of a tennis player who doesn't believe he's even reached his peak yet! Nevertheless it provides lots of information that isn't available anywhere on the web and answers almost any question anyone will have to ask about the great Roger. And very interesting information too. Buy it!
