drdeadlift · 2013-06-27 18:50:27

Hi all, Just curius as to what other people though of this book from David Walsh. I read it over the past week,was a nice read but towards the end he started to sound like a wench moaning. Am i along in thinking this? If anyone can recommend a book with a similar story from a different author i would be grateful.

It's very interesting the various takes on 7 deadly sins, and like most here, I read it very soon after it came out.

I felt though that had you read a previous publication of Walsh's, "From Lance to Landis" (an excellent read in tandem with Bad Blood and Rough Ride), there is very little new in what Walsh is saying.

It is almost as if the previous book was just updated with a smug postscript of "I told yis so.."

Walsh is, without doubt, an excellent journalist who has gone through a lot in his life but I felt 7 D S was a pure rehash of a story already well told.
