Hur kundrecensioner och betyg fungerar
Kundrecensioner, inklusive stjärnrecensioner av produkter, hjälper kunder att lära sig mer om produkten och avgöra om det är rätt produkt för dem.
Vi använder inte ett enkelt medelvärde för att beräkna den totala stjärnrecensionen och den procentuella fördelningen per stjärna. Istället tar vårt system hänsyn till saker som till exempel hur nyligen en recension har gjorts och om recensenten köpte artikeln på Amazon. Det analyserar också recensioner för att verifiera deras trovärdighet.

This man changed British music and theatre forever. This book does him justice.
Granskad i Storbritannien den 18 januari 2014
Exceptionally written book from cover to cover following the life of Lionel Bart, the unrecognised father of the British Pop Industry and the British Musical. The world knows "Oliver!" but "Oliver!" is but a small part of Lionel Bart's prolific output through the 1960's. Bart had the midas touch, was mocked by the establishment, adored by artists and exploited by "hangers on". Despite a fall from grace into the worlds of drugs and alcohol, his work remained revered the world over, and he rose again to be a grand master in his own right in his later years. Uplifting, inspiring and accurate biography of a character, more interesting than any literature has managed to create.

Explore Lionel Bart's theatrical brilliance. The Noel Coward of his era.
Granskad i Storbritannien den 26 december 2020
A must for anyone interested in the theatre and the pop music of the late 50s and into the 60s with emphasis on Lionel's brilliance, and in the day, I now realise how good he was. A truly pivotal figure.
