Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes because it is in turn, funny, touching and informative.
What did you like best about this story?
I expected to be amused but I was thrilled to find the book to be much more than that. It is an excellent picture of a very specific time in a very specific circle. I was rapt.
What does Alexei Sayle bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Having the book narrated by the author in his deadpan scouse tones was the perfect way to consume it.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Most of the depictions of mum and the isolation experienced by Sayle at various points.
Any additional comments?
This kind of book is almost made for audio because the narration adds so much to the experience.
