Reviews

Full of the wittiest and most profound writing by one of the most accomplished authors in the UK.

—— Debbie Taylor , Culture (Newcastle Journal)

Magnificent. A wonderful and highly distinctive book

—— Sunday Tribune

Kennedy has an exceptional gift for empathy and insight

—— Scotland on Sunday

Completely wonderful. Grimly funny, wonderfully wise and ravishingly written

—— Glasgow Herald

This is Elton at his best - mature, humane, and still a laugh a minute. At least

—— Daily Telegraph

Only Ben Elton could combine uncomfortable questions about gender politics with a gripping, page-turning narrative and jokes that make you laugh out loud

—— Tony Parsons

A very funny book about a sensitive subject ... Ben Elton the writer might even be funniter than Ben Elton the comic

—— Daily Mail

The selections from the greats are generous and well chosen

—— Guardian
