Aside from any debates about homosexuality, I thought the book was a good overview of postwar Britain. The only thing I'd say about it is that some people might be anticipating a largely political history and a great deal of it is concerned with more general aspects of British life - theatre, architecture, the construction of Britan's transport network amongst other things. If you just want to read about Suez, In Place of Strife, the Winter of Discontent and so on, you'd probably find it a little slow paced and meandering.
