Unabridged Audiobook
Light but funny & charmingly quirky characters.
As an audiobook, it was ok. Bob made it funny but the story was a bit pish. Wouldn’t have made it past chapter 3 if I was reading it
Loved the book. A gentle, descriptive and funny tale from Bob Mortimer. I'm instantly moving on to his next book.
A tangerine dream
I loved it. It turns out being told a story of Bob's by Bob and Sally is what I needed this week.
I love Bob Mortimer and Sally Phillips, so I didn't even check what it was about, I knew it would be good, and I wasn't disappointed. What I wasn't expecting was that the plot was a genuinely intriguing thriller, with moments of actual peril, but starring normal, relatable, people making mistakes. Of course it's chock full of Bob's wit, complete with a talking squirrel and plenty of discussion of meat-based products. The dual narration works perfectly.
Funny and intriguing story that kept my attention throughout. Bob has a great way of describing day to day experiences, but twisting them makes me laugh out loud. The book also touches on loneliness and controlling behaviours of people with great empathy and warmth.
Entertaining and humorous.
Cracking read!
I found the storyline intriguing, it was fast paced and never dull. I loved the characters and thought the way in which they were brought to life by Bob Mortimer’s different voices was fantastic. Most of all I loved the descriptions- of people, places, everything. Very well observed and funny.
Poor story - not up to Bob Mortimer's usual standard
I was never a fan of flowery descriptive writing but Bob has a truly unique and imaginative approach that you can’t wait to hear how he’ll describe the next scene. A great book, I loved it.
