I was in this young man’s world from the start, as I laughed and cried along the road of his incredible journey. This is a stand-out!

“Daring, Erotic, and Endlessly Entertaining”
I was taken aback by this story of a young upper class British boy, his close relationship with his mother, grandfather, and even his gun dog. Then an unexpected and enticing sexual emancipation with an irresistible woman, and some heart-breaking experiences along the way. All part of him attaining his manhood and a glistening career in the RAF. A book that is daring, erotic, uncomfortable at times, endlessly entertaining, and all wrapped up into one amazing story based on the life of the author.

“An incredible journey, an exceptional book”
What an incredible journey. What an exceptional book. For anyone who may have thought that Fifty Shades was something special, this trumps it, not least because it is based on a true story. I can't wait for the sequel.

“A Riveting Tale of Triumph and Tragedy”
The Rude Beginning is a truly remarkable and gripping story that took me on an emotional rollercoaster through the incredible early life journey of its main character Charles Featherstone. A combat helicopter pilot and polo player, this poignant true story is a masterclass in resilience and human spirit, leaving readers both inspired and heartbroken. Is this what sets him up to become a tech mogul in the sequel?

“A standout for me”
I really liked his way of expressing things, and I could almost feel his emotions throughout. This will certainly make quite the splash in the reader-verse and make the literary world sit up. Very enjoyable, and so much more insightful than any of the usual British media I read/watch. That really makes this a standout for me!

“A riveting, racy tale in the world of country estates, polo and power”
Born to privilege and destined for success. One man's story. A riveting tale of the bonds of friendship and a love forbidden. A racy coming of age, played out in the rarefied world of country estates, polo and power. Yet this is not a tale. Based on a true story, it is a glimpse into the early years that were to shape an incredible destiny.

“An Eruption of Emotions”
Never have I read anything that has brought out such emotion in me as this book has. What seemed to be a comfortable slow burner suddenly erupted into something that was anything but that. And the sex? Well, all I can say about that is … F#@k. What an early life! I can't wait for what happens next.

“Honest, Exciting, Heartbreaking Autobiography”
He gave credit to his editor Debra Hartmann, for drawing the story out of him. Unusual in his English circles. So, I will too. Well done for delivering the most honest, exciting, heartbreaking creative autobiography I have ever read. Dyslexic or not, what a storyteller. I couldn't put it down. When is the sequel please?
