I’ve only read the first few chapters as a teaser from the publisher, but it seems pretty good. I can imagine Bob Mortimer speaking as I read, as it is quite a gentle pace, very descriptive and a bit of a yarn. I can feel the main character growing nicely, and my curiosity is piqued enough to get the full book and find out what happens after the first meeting in the pub. I’m not sure if it’s going to be my favourite book ever, but it’s probably going to appeal more to middle-aged men enjoying a nostalgic look back on their dating years.
