Trade Review
The Candy Machine is highly addictive * Metro *
It is hard to decide if Tom Feiling's future lies as a QC or the new Paul Theroux. He has written a vivid, argumentative, arresting book * The Sunday Telegraph *
I've read a few documentary accounts of the rise of cocaine, and this might be the best of them. It's clear, sharp and solid. Very well told * Evening Standard *
An important study of the cultivation, usage and suppression of cocaine * FT *
A cracking read . . . Strong stuff, beautifully argued * Literary Review *
