2006 – Making A Killing "…Ashcroft must have formed a good working alliance with the ghostwriter Clifford Thurlow…because this diary of death and destruction radiates not just personality but that illusive, lyrical honesty the existentialists used to call 'authenticity.'" Andy Martin, The Daily Telegraph "…ambushes, mortar bombardments, gunfights, cars turning into colanders and, as if anticipating a film deal, there is a well-paced description of the slow minutes he spent diffusing a massive bomb." Penny Wark, The Times "…a unique perspective on a controversial topic…" Soldier magazine "This is a blow by blow account of a war the West should never have ignited…with touches of irony that bring the story into sharp focus." Charles Howard, Writers Forum **** "A great read." Lad's Mag

Reviews "…an extraordinary account, faithfully transcribed by Clifford Thurlow, of one boy's encounter with Salvador Dalí…" John Walsh, The Independent "…the (confessional) voice of an eye-witness to the Salvador Dalí myth – and to all the orgiastic gossip of the past…" Vanessa Thorpe, The Observer "Sex, in all its permutations, dominates the book, which might be very dull were in not for Thurlow's skilful pace and editing." Susannah Herbert, The Daily Telegraph "Sex, Surrealism, Dali and Me – the Memoirs of Carlos Lozano…is a sensational read. And for once, that word is not misused….The beginning will drop into every tutor's lap as one to rival the opening of Earthly Powers by Anthony Burgess…If you want to be a superghost you would do well to analyse this enjoyable and well-crafted book. Charles Howard, Writers' Forum "Dozens of hilarious and unforgettable scenes are described in this sensuous tale…far more than a simple biography, these memoirs read like a major novel…" El País "…in truth unique and at times extraordinary…this book is more than just a curiosity, it is something very special indeed…" Luis Antonio de Villena, El Mundo

1986 – Never Before Noon Reviews "Your book is simply wonderful. It is so like you. It has all your jokery and imagination. I have had the most wonderful 'visit', so to speak, with you because all your charming details of spirit are in this book…" Diana Vreeland, Vogue "Very enjoyable are her descriptions of well-known characters such as John Huston, Garbo's companion Georges Schlee, and Peggy Guggenheim's homosexual friends, 'the same as other men, they just wore better shoes. Tremendous.'" Hugo Vickers, The Sunday Telegraph "Every story about her family reverberates with emotion and regret…Fonda is quite wonderful at describing her childhood, the Italian aristocracy under the thumb of Mussolini as the soldiers take over their home and the young Afdera can't resist flirting with the fascists." Christopher Schemering, The Washington Post

2005 – Making Short Films Reviews "Clifford Thurlow's book is the definitive must have for any filmmaker contemplating making and marketing a short." Elliot Grove, Raindance "Heady stuff. Enough to make you feel like the next Spielberg. But why not? Someone has to be. And my guess is it will be someone who starts off reading Making Short Films." Terence Doyle, British Film Magazine "Many undergraduate students will find this book useful as it aims to cover the whole process from idea to distribution … Making Short Films should be an opportunity to develop skills and hone the craft." Roger Crittenden, The Times

1992 – Brief Spring Reviews "A journey realised in fascinating detail by two sensitive and humane writers." Brendan O'Keefe, The Observer "…images of the region's spectacular corruption, Kafkaesque greyness, criminal pollution and inefficiency. Quite Amazing." The Daily Telegraph "An interesting tale of Eastern Europe in flux…it takes the unusual form of alternate entries by the duo as they cross from East Germany through to Romania…" Time Out "…the strengths of the book lie in their evident curiosity and affability which again and again bring fascinating exchanges with the people who in some cases have not met a foreigner for over half a century." Kent Life "The amusing but sharp account of the travels of a New York socialite divorcee who fell in with a British journalist just as the barriers of Eastern Europe were crumbling." The Traveller Also available from eBooks Library

You will come to a new appreciation of the vulnerability of individuals, of the landscape and of the environment." David Hartley "Camus' Outsider meets the Marquis de Sade. Darkly compelling."
