Customer Reviews

Do you want to laugh?

You know, it isnt often that one can pick up a book and within 3 pages be laughing out loud. Well, if you have never been in love, if you have never felt constrained by life, events, circumstances, family, political situations or religion, if you have never been unhappy and are not exquisitely sensitive, then you probably wont find this book funny or sensitive or clever or charming or romantic, but if you are a real person, this is a dynamic book which should transcend the cultures it depicts (I wonder, do you have to read Dad with an accent to really understand?), which is much better than its title. This is like one of the Roddy Doyle trilogy but based in Croydon and central London, this is a Working Title film to be sure one day full of routemaster buses (except they are no more and in fact the bus described has driver operated doors), this twists and turns like Pi, this is a graceful modern read and you will be angry when its time to turn the light off, or the working day intrudes or the person on the tube next to you moves in alarm at your laughter or heaven Forbid, it comes to its ending because you will want more.
