Operation XX and Me - Did I Have A Choice?

I thought I was buying the same size tub I buy at the garden centre , that’s £8 but would save me carting it home, my own fault I should have checked the size but just in case anyone else is still using pounds and ounce I’ll put a photo on,,the tub on the left costs £1 more locally

The story is true and quite sensibly written - but unfortunately did not inspire me. it is just a true story.

After listening to the authors wife on the radio i ordered this book as it sounded extremely interesting but on reading which took a couple of hours it was so disappointing.There was no story to it and the facts pretty lame.I am not taking away from what the author went through as i'm sure it seemed all to real at the time but as i say i was extremely disappointed.If you want wartime stories there are plenty of well written books out there and this was a complete waste of 2/3 hours.

What a great in site into the normal world of a lad growing up in the Second World War in Rural Britain... with a twist...fantastic book.. what a secret to keep from your wife family and friends to the end..

I bought this following a newspaper article. I was surprised when it arrived how little reading matter there was (59 pages), which in the end I was glad of. I did read it from cover to cover, waiting for something to happen but I was left wanting.

small book for price

Bought as a gift my mother in law really loves it.

Very disappointing he never really did anything my mother did more in the war than he did

This book was intriguing. What a pleasant surprise it must have been for his wife to his journal. Times have sure changed since his early days. I really enjoyed this book!!!

This is apparently a true story but I felt that it could have been a bit longer and explained a bit more about how someone like this could have been recruited for this type of spy activity. No doubt this did happen with this gentleman, but some historical context could have made the book more interesting; I felt let-down by the abrupt ending.

This very short book never really addressed the title. It consisted mostly of a rolling commentary on all the jobs the author had as a young man. It didn't appear to be edited at all so some of the 'sentences' didn't make sense. It could be been a very interesting story had someone really taken the time to delve into Operation XX and how it impacted people's lives.

This was a very interesting memoir of a seemingly average person who really wasn't average. It takes an exceptional ability to be noticed by those who need those who have it. My husband and I both enjoyed the story and will set it aside for our grandsons to read.

I enjoyed reading this book. Very interesting and informative
