'There
may
be
other
professors
of
geriatric
medecine
who
have
chosen
to
write
down
their
views
on
life,
the
universe
and
everything...Raymond
Tallis
is
unusual
in
that
he
is
philosophically
well
educated
and
alert;
his
books
are
genuine
contributions
to
professional
debate
and
must
be
assessed
as
such.
It
is,
of
course,
acutely
irritating
that
someone
with
a
different
professional
competence
should
have
read
more
widely,
and
more
attentively,
in
one's
own
field
than
oneself;
even
more
irritating
that
there
are
no
obvious
misreadings...It
is
to
be
hoped
that
Raymond
Tallis
finds
time,
amid
his
professorial
and
clinical
duties,
to
continue
the
exploration.'

From the reviews of Enemies of Hope:
'`Tallis....is a high achiever with a range of expertise that would leave Jonathan Miller gasping' - Walter Ellis, The Sunday Times
'As its title and length indicate, this is a Big Book. It is written, nevertheless, in a clear, accessible, unpretentious and often witty style. And as anyone familiar with Raymond Tallis's other similar works will know, it has important things to say....there is about his panoptic sweep an intrepidity, a candour and open-mindedness, a gameness for anything, a total lack of vanity or self-importance, and a generous hatred of cant, that are extremely engaging. Every page of Enemies of Hope is lit by its author's characteristic wisdom and luminous intelligence, and by flashes of novel, striking insight. That alone is as much as to say, read it.' - Robert Grant, The Times Literary Supplement
'Brilliantly argued and with a wide range of erudition' - Nicholas Kochan, The Financial Times
