This was a book of multiple themes: living through a (heart) health crisis, life experiences, and the friendships and relationships created along the way. As someone who didn't grow up in the UK, it taught me a lot of things I didn't know about Bob Mortimer but at the same time I read the entire thing with his voice in my head, so the authenticity of the author's voice comes through in his writing. It was a pretty quick read and the themes made me reflect a bit more on my own life. Overall would recommend.

I wasn't sure how much I would like this when I started. I'm not a big fan of the Shooting Stars style humour but had loved the audiobook for his fishing programme. Bob comes across as really likeable chap though and really pulled me in. I definitely think this is a book that needs to be experienced as an audio book though to get everything from it.
