Product Description

Rob MacGregor, hired to recapture the declining audience for a daytime gardening programme, quickly becomes Britain's latest heart-throb. The only trouble is, Rob's co-presenter is not pleased to see his thunder stolen. Nor is Rob's longterm girlfriend, who discovers his affair with a newsreader.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gripping storyline with many little surprises., 15 Jun 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Mr. MacGregor (Paperback)

This is an excellent first attempt by Alan (later to be followed by two more classics!) The storyline is gripping and there are many unpredictable little twists to the plot along the way. I don't find books easy to read but it's difficult to put this one down - it's the sort of book you think about during the day at work. I recommend this book without reservation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Who would have thought it !, 10 Aug 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mr. MacGregor (Paperback)

Needing something light to while away the hours over here in Japan I picked up Mr. Macgregor. I'm not much of a gardening man - indeed I tend to switch channels when such programmes come on the TV - but this one caught the imagination. And what do you know ? It's excellent. Alan Tichmarsh writes with an engaging style that I would never have expected, draws wonderful word pictures of events and characters and keeps the story going at just the right pace to ensure that you're turning the pages in expectation. Funny and endearing, the text flows smoothly and you are filled with pangs of anxiety as you see the number of pages still to go getting fewer and fewer. I would never have believed that gardening would make such a good subject for a light-hearted and funny story, or that Alan Tichmarsh could have told it so well. How wrong I was. I don't have my copy on me at present - it's doing the rounds of all my friends. Read Mr. Macgregor, water in well and pass it on. Then wait for a lovely crop of smiles to bloom. Perfect for any season.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good novel., 2 Feb 2001

Matt Meaney - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mr. MacGregor (Audio Cassette)

This is a good book for an author's first novel, but it lacks a certain something. It hasnn't got the same happy glow to it as his other two books have (The Last Lighthouse Keeper & Animal Instincts), but it is a good novel all the same.
