Reviews
"A delicious and very funny what-if.... a delightful little book that unfolds into a witty meditation on the subversive pleasures of reading.... Mr. Bennett has written a captivating fairy tale ... a tale that showcases its author's customary élan and keen but humane wit." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "Bennett's jokes are so beautifully modulated.... The Uncommon Reader is a piece of audacious lèse majesté which, in an earlier age, would have put its author's head on a spike.... Bennett knows what he is doing." -- The Guardian "A kind of palace fairy tale for grown-ups.... [[Bennett's]] account of the queen's adventures often made me laugh out loud." --Jeremy McCarter, The New York Times "Briskly original and subversively funny." -- Publishers Weekly "[Bennett's] subtle wit and tonal command show why he is so beloved in his native Britain." -- Kirkus Reviews

The item, wrapped as preciously as the shroud of Turin itself, arrived with haste that would shame a falcon.

A+++, would purchase again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shipping: Swift as divine grace Item: Perfect as described Service: Most excellent indeed
- 8***h (404)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook was in great condition, as others mentioned was only packaged in a plastic bag so could have used a bit more cushion for protection but luckily it was ok for me. Was not shipped within the expected time frame and arrived a day after the expected window which was disappointing since we were going away before it arrived and it was meant to bring along with us. Listing stated arrives in 2-4 days and came on day 5 instead due to the late drop off. Great price for the book and value overall.
