Critics Review

Wise, touching and funny … Berkmann is a master of observation. On every page you will find yourself nodding in agreement at some thought you’ve shared but never expressed quite so pithily … Middle-aged men should read this book for all the bumps of recognition - Express - Christopher Silvester

A laugh or carefully crafted insight on almost every page - Mail on Sunday - Jonathan Maitland

Warm, funny and wise … A sort of Zen and the Art of Midlife Management - Independent on Sunday

Will reconcile every bloke to the remorseless lawnmower of Time - Independent
