A review by annataeko
A Spaniard in the Works by John Lennon

4.0

I'd recommend you read "In His Own Write" first, so as to get used to his writing style and peculiar humour; for most of the stories appearing in this one are a bit longer than the ones in IHOW.

Having said that, A Spaniard in the Works comprises substantial stories and much more socio-political criticism. In this second and last book that Lennon published, he gets a bit more political than he did in the first one. Notwithstanding, the writing style used in ASITW is similar to the one in IHOW (which to some might be a nay, but for me is a total yay!).

This miscellaneous collection could have conveniently been added to the first one published, In His Own Write. Nevertheless, I'd rather have two short books of his with John starring in both covers, than having just a single book including it all.

Happy reading, x
