Reviews

The UK's biggest financial anorak * Paul Lewis, BBC Radio 4's Moneybox *
If anyone can help, it's this man. Martin Lewis knows more about credit cards than possibly anyone else in the country * Justin Rowlatt, BBC1 Panorama *
Like Nicky Campbell with much bigger balls * Independent *
a thorn in the corporate establishment's side * Sunday Times *
Martin Lewis, the man behind moneysavingexpert.com, is one of those people who can lead you through big decisions involving huge amounts of money as if they are laughably unscary. He is a modern-day Robin Hood, and I may love him more than Phil Spencer from Location Location Location -- Katy Guest * Independent *
