This book is an excellent read, the witty one liners and dry humour interwoven makes for a very funny read at times. What's clever is that it's also poignant, heartfelt and sad at the same time, very clever writing. Highly recommended if you need something on the lighter side in between other books. I loved the characters, especially George whom I now want to adopt as my Grandad.

Guy Portman It's a good book, Maxine. Have you read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time?

Lee Peckover I liked this, but I preferred some of the stories in The Pier Falls. Definitely seem to like Mark Haddon's work either way!
