Somehow funnier and more sad than This is Going to Hurt. I liked hearing more about Adam.

I’m always very torn with Kay. I dislike his mocking of patients or those who think differently to him, and his focus on the scatological aspects of life, but as someone who also works in the NHS my heart breaks a little for the experiences he’s had and the mental health difficulties he’s been left with. I also recognise the need for black humour…

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Part had me cackling, I especially enjoyed the running jokes of particitrousers and panini loving wolves (I promise it makes sense if you read it) 

But yet again Adam has a way of spilling out all his deepest darkest truths and keeping his humour as dark as the subject matter. Open, honest, hilarious, I'll always have time for an Adam Kay book.
