Caroline BennRezensionen

This book loses its fifth star in the rambling final fifty pages.

I thoroughly enjoyed the biography of Hardie, written from a historical perspective. Caroline Benn tells it as it is known, a warts and all rendering of Hardie's life. Why, oh why does she then feel the need to pass Hardie's death as a mere point in the story and amble through history up until te 1970's? As if this was not bad enough, she then adds a final chapter giving all the opinion that had been blessedly missed out of the rest of the book.

I thoroughly recommend this biography, but suggest that you jump ship at the point at which hardie does!
