This book is extremely popular in medialand, a bit like E. And also like E, it had been sitting on my bookshelf for quite some time.
I only really picked it up because it was the morning after our party at work, and my bag was still at work. As it turns out, it was perfect hangover reading. Easy going and very easy to identify with. To be honest, not quite enough happens in this novel – we get plenty of background painting a very real picture of life. But then the plot doesn’t develop enormously.
Will I read more John O’Farrell? Quite possibly.
