Growing up on Vancouver Island, Jack Knox was a staple in my local newspaper during his decades-long tenure as columnist.
While I can’t say I ever read the paper on a *regular* basis, I always flipped the pages until I found the Jack Knox byline. Nothing compares to his satirical commentary on Vancouver Island living!
This collection had some truly laugh-out-loud moments for me!
The only reason I didn’t rate it higher is because some essays did NOT age well. I don’t care to revisit the “humour” of the early aughts, thank you very much.

A great light read of Vancouver Island hilarity from Victoria's favourite (?) or most out-spoken columnist at least. Some of the content doesn't really hold up anymore (and people have been saying that for years, I know), but it was a nice little remembrance of home. I liked the breaking the stories down by month, though some really could go anywhere. Fun little read when isolated!
