Rezension zu „The Big Year “
"A true and unexpectedly exhilarating tale of guile, obsession and competitiveness as rich and involving as any novel... You will care" The Week "An adrenaline rush of a book... about an obsession almost as mad as it is magnificent" YORKSHIRE POST "An exciting road trip of a story... This sense of thrilling liberation, forays into uncharted territories and an understanding of what drives these men is as much part of the story as the quest itself" THE LIST
