4.0 out of 5 stars An easy and entertaining read, 28 May 2007
By Lance Mitchell (Hampshire, UK, Northern Hemisphere, Planet Earth) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cucumber Man (Henry Pratt) (Paperback)
Poor Henry Pratt! Having failed in his career as a journalist, he finds himself jobless in Thurmarsh, South Yorkshire, in the late fifties. This book tracks his life through the next four decades, through three marriages, numerous children, interesting incidents with relatives and friends, a career with the Cucumber Marketing Board in Leeds, a skirmish with politics and an unlikely international mission to promote, you've guessed it, English cucumbers. Most of his life, Henry has found himself in situation thinking one thing, saying another and wishing, almost immediately, that he'd said another. That approach causes enormous problems for him and the reader cannot imagine how Henry can ever enjoy success at anything. However, having seen the passing of all of his relatives in the next generation up, Henry finally finds something that he's good at.
I would hardly describe the book as hilarious, as does the cover blurb, but it is certainly very entertaining and continuously amusing. There are patches of personal tragedy that probably seem familiar to most readers.
This is the third in the Pratt series and I would recommend reading the series in order. First, Second from Last in the Sack Race then Pratt of the Argus, and then read this one. Easy to read, humorous nostalgia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sublime work from a comic writing genious., 8 July 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Cucumber Man (Henry Pratt) (Paperback)
The final instalment in the Henry Pratt trilogy is, in my humble opinion, the finest comic novel. It captures the feeling of the age so well and contains both humour and heart-wrenching drama. There are not many pieces of fiction that make me laugh out loud, David Nobbs makes the characters so real that you find yourself immersed in this world and unable to put down the book. I thouroughly recommend this novel and would suggest readers also try the equally wonderful '2nd From Last in the Sack Race', and 'Pratt of The Argus'. This is without doubt my favourite book and I sincerely hope many others take the opportunity to read this work and share the experience.

3.0 out of 5 stars a gentle unchallenging and nostalgic novel, 31 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Cucumber Man (Henry Pratt) (Paperback)
David Nobbs takes us from Henry Pratt's chaotic youth into an uncertain future. I still felt for his inadequacy, and enjoyed reliving the 60's and 70's, but the humour is a bit thin now.
