Highly amusing reading.
This volume contains a number of the books written by John Mortimer about the barrister Horace Rumpole: Rumpole of the Bailey; The Trials of Rumpole and Rumpole's Return. Many of the stories contained within these books have been televised with Leo McKern in the starring role. As often happens, the books are more entertaining than the films. For people who enjoy comedy along the lines of the Bertie Wooster books by P.G. Wodehouse, this is an ideal read. Strongly recommend.

An excellent purchase
"The Raj Quartet" comprises the three books written by Paul Scott between 1966 and 1975: "The Jewel in the Crown"; "The Day of the Scorpion"; "The Towers of Silence"; and "A Division of the Spoils". For readers like myself who enjoyed E.M. Forster's "A Passage to India" and Doris Lessing's "The Grass is Singing", this quartet is essential reading as it is set in the last days of British India and focuses upon the interrelationship of rulers and ruled. I was delighted that this book, which cost me only £3.32, was a hardback edition published by Heinemann in pristine condition.

Both entertaining and putting forward an important message.
Adam Kay's "This is Going to Hurt" is a twenty-first century version of the Richard Gordon books which were popular in the 1950s ("Doctor in the House", "Doctor at Sea", etc.). It is presented in diary form and contains very many amusing anecdotes. It has, however, a much more serious message as it reveals the enormous pressure under which junior doctors (i.e. all except consultants) work today. It is an indictment of government policy on the health service and of recent government ministers, especially Jeremy Hunt to whom the author addresses a letter at the end of the book, the contents of which I fully applaud. There is much wrong with a political system in which important decisions about such services as health, education and social care are taken by politicians who are totally ignorant of the impact their legislation will actually have upon those services. If, for example, anyone reads John Major's autobiography, that person will be astounded by the arrogance of the author in his assumption that he always knows best. Kay's book should be compulsory reading for all politicians.
