Product Description

Synopsis

5.0 out of 5 stars A gripping storyline with many little surprises., 15 Jun 2001
By A Customer
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
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 Not bad for a jobbing gardener, 23 Nov 2000
By Mrs. K. A. Wheatley "katywheatley" (Leicester, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This was fairly well written and no more far fetched in the romance stakes than many other books I've read by full time writers. The character of Rob was nicely drawn. I expect he was quite easy to do as he seems to be Alan with the name changed. It wasn't too heavy on the horticulture either, which was one thing I was dreading and the sub plot concerning Rob's Dad and his nursery was quite interesting and believably sentimental.
