Reviews for In His Own Write & A Spaniard in the Works

Lunatic humour... it defies description. It owes something to Lear's nonsense books, but from there on in Lennon is on his own... Zany, offbeat, and illustrated by his grotesque spidery pen. It jolts the reader into gusts of laughter * Guardian * Very funny... beautifully designed * Times Literary Supplement * Irresistible...the drawings are marvellous * Sunday Telegraph * Fascinating.... It goes down like pure whimsy and then back-kicks like a sick mule. * Sunday Times * Very inventive... It's all in Lennon's favour that despite the adulation and soft soap, he has remained as tough, arrogant and uncompromising * Observer *
