Almost unfairly funny * Hadley Freeman *
I loved it so much I read it in one fell swoop. Fantatically funny but also so touching * India Knight *
Every person I know is going to love this book. I can’t imagine anyone reading this book and not being in love with it. He is incomparable in terms of his voice and observational lens… No one writes about the incidentals and the characteristics of British life better than him * Dolly Alderton *
This is (very, very) funny, but it's also a story about brothers and families and home, and it's as warm as it is rude * Stylist *
Really funny and crazy. * Bob Odenkirk *
The funniest book of the year. Disclaimer: may induce hysteria. * Cosmopolitan *
Hilarious ... a touching take on modern masculinity and family * Grazia *
