"A guy gets fed up with school, leaves, then bums around acting slightly strange for 2 days. It's not until the final page that you really realise what's been going on. No peeping!"
"Laurie Lee's story of a hard but mostly happy childhood in the Cotswolds. Interesting portrayal of both the caring and irresponsible sides of his mother. Several mentions of Painswick."
"It's got Nobbs written all over it. You feel like you know all the characters. Several weddings and some funerals. 99 years in 412 pages. Toothbrush, CJ."
"Fictitious journals of a man who lived through every decade of the 20th century. Touches on many renowned people and events. Informative and engrossing. Not as boring as I have probably made it sound."
