Review of 'Going solo' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Two parts, quite separate - the first the completion of the tale from Boy, about Dahl working for Shell in Africa. The second about flying in the war, which ends quite abruptly with his return home. The first portion is far more satisfying than the second, and I understand there is some suggestion of embellishment. Still and all, an interesting book, and far more narrative than Boy.
