Reviews
"In essence, it's crackers. But brilliantly
crackers."
Word
"The oddest of books, it is an endearing eccentric's humane outlook on
life delivered with a rapier wit that can unravel an entire culture as much
through its tackiness as its deep-rooted histories."
The Glasgow Herald
"Bizarre but quite brilliant...Complete with cartoons,
maps and other weird gems.'
The Bookseller
"Very funny...written with wit, energy and attitude. Owing more to
Spike Milligan than Iain Sinclair... a convincing series of snapshots of the
contemporary streetscape of the capital's urban canyons and arteries, its
parks and cemeteries."
The Independent
"The diaries of a a funny and extremely likeable
man."
Independent on Sunday
"Anarchic,
hilarious, inspired."
Northern Echo
"A cross between Bill Bryson and Laurence Sterne."
The Hampstead and Highgate Express
"A
fragrantly comical journey."
What's On
"An absorbing
tale of an obsessive's search...an utterly entertaining travelogue."
Venue
"It is a strange work that is aimed at the humour market and the language
will definitely turn off any academics who get confused enough to pick it
up, but somehow there is something fascinating about this author traipsing
around holding his A-Z, observing life and wondering when opening time is."
