Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 February 2024
It was a bit of a punt for me reading this book. I like Bob Mortimer in stuff he's done on the telly but wasn't sure the book would be for me. But it grabbed me and I had it read in no time. Make the next one longer please Bob.
The characters are believable and you can identify with them. Even the wildlife! The story is multi-faceted and compelling. And, appropriately funny. In many such stories, there are fallow bits you just read through to get to the good bits, but not so with this one. It's genuinely a book you really don't want to put down at any stage.
As a novel, frankly, it compares very favourably with other telly workers that have turned to writing. So I hope you continue to write. And maybe do some more of those fishing programmes. They're not half bad either.
So, to summarise, I'd venture to say it's a great book and would recommend you read it. Even if you don't think it'll be your thing.
