English to the end,

This review is from: The secret lemonade drinker (Paperback)
I found this in the family bookshelf when I was about 14. Basically what you have here is a man writing a story about life, and lost loves, and betrayall, in a padestrian and tollerant delivery. You never get to know about the author, ( i.e. " the first person delivering the dialogue"), in any other context other than that of the story. So thats what it is - a story. Sounds boring doesnt it - its excellent (any book that has a pub called the planet of the apes - [nick named after the social standing of the clientelle] - has to be a classic. And this book is!, - (not because i say so, but because if you know any 50 yr olds who read it - and many did in thier time - they will smile and tell you it is). I think I might read it again actually - its been about 20 years and I still remember it enough to waste my time writing a review for the hell of it. Look - if you are 55+ get it from the frigging library. You will buy a copy after reading it. Ple! ase email me if youve read it. Justin

Like Justin, below, I first read this book in my early twenties in the sunny climate (NOT!) of Grimsby, England. Fifteen years later, as I strive for some company during my commute into Chicago I recalled the belly laughs of this book which have remained lodged in my memory ever since. It was as good as I remembered and prompted me to read as much of his stuff as I could get my hands on. Like Nick Hornsby, a generation later, his style is unpretentious with a keen eye for what really makes relationships tick.
