One of the very few writers who can remember precisely what childhood was really like, how crazy and intense it really was. Utterly unpretentious, totally engaging and very funny -- Mark Haddon An excellent, incisive modern satire that manages to be simultaneously touching, funny and thought-provoking * Glasgow Herald * A triumphant tale of life, loss, hope and family * Big Issue * An unpretentious, accessible comedy... a fine example of the things that happen when one dares to think outside the box * Guardian * A warm, big-hearted tale with a hero you can't help but cheer for -- Matt Haig
