The Times Literary Supplement writes of the book:
'Laura Cohn...has
made an excellent selection of episodes, letters and architectural
details to illustrate the various facets of a convoluted and contradictory
career. Her book is a piece of literary engineering which has the
virtues of her father's best buildings - good materials put together
with economy, elegance, sensitivity and telling detail used to maximum
effect.'
The Architectural Review:
'This portrait...is truthful without being
prying and affectionate without showing the slightest hint of adulation...The
most substantial chapter is rightly devoted to the most significant
of Coates's buildings, the Lawn Road Flats...Their conception and
construction makes a fascinating story.'
