Dark Horse: Interesting prequel to Chequered Justice. 07 January 2013
A fascinating read concerning the life of an intelligent young boy born dyslexic, in a time when this condition was not recognised. His consequent academic failure and treatment at school drove him to seek personal achievement and recognition in business, and later, on the world stage in motor sport. It takes you though the thrills and disasters from Brands Hatch to Le Mans, and the pitfalls and deceptions encountered in the race to have the cars ready in time, as detailed in John’s first novel Chequered Justice.
I look forward with anticipation to reading “A Step To Far”.

Chequered Justice: I found this book really hard to put down and would definitely recommend it as a good read anyway, but I particularly think everyone should read this just to get an idea of how easy it is for things to go wrong in the pursuit of ‘justice’. It is obvious that there was corruption involved in this case, but even without that, it is clear that our legal system has many shortcomings that people should be aware of.
