A review by luluallison
Car Park Life by Gareth E. Rees

I recognised the twin tides of optimism and despair in this book, the hope of transcending what seems like inevitable catastrophe by finding small expressions of mysterious beauty to remind us we are not only doomed. It is funny, well written and engaging. Though the quixotic futility of the crusade was what made it interesting, both for the fact of it and for the writer's own analysis of it, I started to switch off a bit during later descriptions. Probably the bits in between the carparks were what offered the most. The author is clearly well aware of this and his tousling with the relevance or pointlessness was part of what I enjoyed. I'm not sure if that proves or disproves the thesis of the project. But well worth a read.
