Review of 'Inglorious' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Starting out even-handed and getting more biased, I think the first half of the book is stronger than the second. The book clearly presents facts about driven grouse shooting, and makes a comprehensive case against it, while also clearly covering the history and development of the practice and the movement against it.

The second half of the book is a bit less clear, being presented as a diary. The ending (a possible future, post-grouse-shooting) is a bit fanciful and doesn’t add much, being completely unreferenced.
