review 1: I wanted to read this book, because I was curious to read a novel by Alistair Campbell. I have to admit that, secretly, I was hoping to be able to criticise and pick holes in it, as it is clearly not fair that someone with such a history of success in the political arena could decide to write a novel, and be good at it. A couple of chapters in, I realised it was not a book by Alistair Campbell, that wasn't what defines it... it was, in fact, a really compelling and emotionally astute novel, by a promising new author, with humble (as David Temple might say) and truthful characters, and thought provoking streams of consciousness. I found the insights into depression very moving, I thought this was handled sensitively and with integrity, and I really warmed to and enjoyed t... morehe variety of creative characters, whose lives you get a glimpse of...I really do hope Mr Campbell will turn his pen to another novel, as I feel he has a lot more to come.
review 2: One of my Cheltenham purchases after I had listened to him reading from it and discussing it. This did have the disadvantage of me only being able to picture him as the main character!An amazing journey into the psychotic mind and well researched, believable examples of how 'normal' people can be rendered abnormal by their random life experiences. From reading an earlier review I knew how it ended but that did not stop it from being totally compelling. Having read 'The Blair Years' - purely factual and totally egotistical - I didn't think his fiction would be this colourful. I look forward to the next offering. less
