'Plenty of action, sharp dialogue and swift characterisation. The whole is intelligently structured so that this is absorbing and thoughtful as well as tense and exciting'

This was a great read. I didn't really know that much about Lawrence - other than Peter O'Toole played him in the film. This was a bit like Batman Begins, the backstory of an icon, I found it really interesting. The book's got great pace, loads of twists and turns. I recommend it.
