Customer Reviews

Wilbur Smith is amazing

When I first read When The Lion Feeds I became addicted to Wilbur’s amazing talent. His historical accuracy, credible and vivid characterisation woven around fallible human traits combined with the richness of darkest Africa have always left me spellbound. I can reread these early novels again and again and still get a buzz or occasionally find a piece I seem to have overlooked. But, oh dear, the ghost writing is awful. Because I recognise his style so intimately I can spot an impersonation in a flash. There is only one Wilbur and whilst this is better than the first ghost written attempts it really leaves me disappointed because of the incredible standard he has set in the past. It’s almost as if he is racing in his autumn years to crank out a few more before it is too late. Sometimes in life we should bow out gracefully and at a peak. He has nothing more to prove. He has written a wonderful legacy and his words will be with us for generations to come. One person found this helpful
