Shauna I was really looking forward to reading this. What a shame!


Tony I still gave it 3 stars... I just couldn’t get beyond the thought that my mother might have wrote it!


Shauna I will remember that when I get around to reading this one!


Tony I’ll send you a photo. It’ll help :o)

Stacia So much said in only two words! Made me laugh.


Tony I love mr osman, feel bad about being so brutal. But...


Shauna Apparently he has sold the film rights to a Mr Spielberg.


Tony No!!! You’re not serious!!!


Shauna That's what he said when a guest on BBC2's 'Between The Covers'.


message 11: by Tony (new) - rated it 3 stars

Tony Well, maybe a good scriptwriter and an injection of grit can lift this (but Spielberg???)


carol. lolol--I'm just reading the reviews now and I suspect you nailed it. Is this another DrunkTony� review? Because it's bitingly perfect.

Tony Lol. Aww thank you again. No, I think I was sober this time. I may have enjoyed it more drunk. It’s still worth a read though... hic.

Teresa Just noticed it on BBC sounds, was wondering whether giving it a chance. Marvellously concise review😅

Tony I feel bad now. Richard Osman seems such a lovely chap!


Shauna Well i have read it now and gave it three stars but really fail to see what all the fuss and hype is about. I agree with you about the tweeness. Obviously I am not in a position to comment on the similarity in writing style to that of your esteemed mother!!

Tony 😁 I’m pleased you gave it a go! I’m still tempted to read the new one though and have no idea why!


Shauna I only paid a few pounds for a hardback copy in a charity shop. Do you think number two will be better?

Tony I have no idea, I may have to find out�.!
