Review: I had heard that they were filming part of this book locally, in Gloucestershire so I became interested in reading what it was all about. I am so glad I did, the book was funny, heart-warming and thought provoking. It evoked lots of different emotions throughout. A book well written and a true page turner. One I would highly recommend and my book of choice when it is my turn to choose the book of the month.

Review: I liked the premise, even though I guessed its predictable unfolding. A strange book for me in that, although I thought it was very well written, I developed a deep antipathy for the main characters, Harold and Maureen. We are, of course, expected to believe that Harold, meek, unassuming, and invisible, is the closest we'll ever get to a modern day saint, which is pure rot... nobody can be that self-effacing and expect to survive. Maureen, on the other hand is, like the toast she likes to eat, "cold and crisp". I found her especially hard to like and, at times, off putting. The minor characters, especially Rex and Queenie, were very well realised and more relatable, and it was no effort to empathise with them. The bit I enjoyed the most was the story telling. Once the book got into Bear Grylls and outward bound territory I lost interest. It felt too much like the author was showing off her thorough research and knowledge of fauna and flora. Too many descriptions of Harry's natural surroundings did nothing to add to the story. And the enormous amount of time Harry and Maureen spend naval gazing and regretting the past also bogged the story down, giving it a maudlin edge.
