I made a special effort to obtain a copy of England All Over, and I'm glad I did. The book starts well, with good style and interesting character and plot development pulling the reader in. Locations are treated realistically and with sympathy. English readers feel "part of the club", thanks to the clever device of using tourists as a counterpoint to the way we see our country. The emotion in the Clive character's story, and the mixture of light and dark moods made me think I was enjoying something of a classic. Sadly, in the latter stages the novel descends into rather whimsical territory, including a couple of scenes which would have been far better left out. Also, Clive, on whom the whole thing hinges, actually changes from likeable to rather irritating at this point. That said, the writer rescues it all at the end. If you love all the very real things about England, you'll probably love this book.

I was very resistant to this book's "laddishness" at first, but as characters developed I found myself laughing outloud at the adventures of these unusual tour guides. This book is funny and surprisingly moving at the end.

this book made me want to return to England to live. Is that a good or a bad thing?
