Book Reviews of For Kicks
Book Review: Dick Francis at his very best
Summary: 5 Stars
For Kicks is a wonderful read, for those who love Dick Francis' style and substance, and for those who are discovering him for the first time. This is my favourite, along with Blood Sport and Dead Cert. All his early books reek of the special atmosphere of British racing, and his understated, self-deprecating manner is still delightful, if increasingly out of vogue. You know what you are going to get, when you read a Dick Francis, but the joy is in rediscovering what you like, in a slightly different cocktail. What I like most about him is his no-fuss attitude, and the gentle, almost unnoticeable ease with which his tough guy heroes fall in love. I'd say his heroes would fit the Bogey film image like a glove.
The very best author to read on long, endless holidays, together with PG Wodehouse!
