I really enjoyed this book, in fact I enjoyed it far more than I expected as I had purchased impulsively in a Kindle sale. That Sandi’s life is incredibly amazing and lucky and interesting is shown without being rammed down one’s throat and I really enjoyed the anecdotes, wit and interesting local history facts.

While Sandi sits on the bus her mind spins in all directions, triggered by what happens around her.
And that is my main issue. Some memories are marvelous but them being very disconnected keeps this from being a novel. It's fragmented and forgotten as soon as the next thought is uttered.

I really like Sandi Toksvig, I knew I really liked her before I started listening to this memoir but now I like her even more. We're similar in our passion for random facts, history and the theatre, and I feel she has a lot to teach with her open style and approach to her life. Telling the story along the route of the bus was an excellent choice as it didn't get so bogged down in a linear passage of time and always had an easy transition to the next topic. She's had an interesting life and I definitely recommend the book.
