Critics Review
Very, very funny.
As well as being the funniest book I’ve read in ages, it’s also extremely touching. A delight then, on every front. - The Spectator
By turns exasperated, affectionate, touching and wry, the letters brim with a father’s love for his son. An absolute delight. - Daily Mail…this book makes you cry as well as laugh. - Daily TelegraphThese hilarious missives from an eccentric father to an errant son have all the playful oddity of the Dear Bill letters. - Sunday TimesVery, very funny. - Sunday TimesA collection of brilliantly written letters from a world-weary father to his feckless son. They could offer a money back guarantee if you don’t laugh - the publishers’ money would be safe. - Guardian Books of the YearIn an era when letter writing is a vanishing art form, this idiosyncratic collection from a father to his errant son is a delight. - TelegraphHerein is comedy gold… a delight, a labour of fatherly love in which a deep if slightly exasperated affection is always legible between the lines. - Racing PostAbout The Author
