The stories are glorious...stuffed with monsters, absurdities, wonders and politics, just as you would expect from any human institution... The Popes is sharp, fun and wonderfully energetic through its many, many pages
Scotsman
A highly readable book
Sunday Times
One of the most bizarre and enjoyable history books I've ever read
Daily Express
Norwich certainly has an eye for the tiny detail that illuminates a whole character
Mail on Sunday
To keep such a light touch, without sacrificing academic seriousness, is a distinct achievement
Independent
Entertaining
Sunday Telegraph
Stylish and enjoyably opinionated
Observer
