review 1: Oh, I forgot I read this this spring. Actually i read like 3/4 of it. But whatever! It is actually a MARVELOUS way to learn about things that happen in England--ways of life, etc.--some of the time. I have told so many people about Transport for London's Lost and Found and The Knowledge and people who hide in lorries to emigrate. It's so fascinating. And then the rest of the time it's like, "my girlfriend stole my car, I had to go to Surrey to get it back, I wanted a Cornish Pasty, my mum called," and you have to really commend Craig Taylor for committing to his purpose and skip ahead to the next one.So, A+ effort, A- execution.
review 2: I loved this collection of personal stories about one of my favorite cities in the world, truly capturing all the beauty, ... moreugliness, excitement, disillusionment, busyness, fun, daily grind, and history of London, and everything else in between. I particularly enjoyed the stories from the woman who is the voice of the underground (but who is the man who booms, "Mind the gap!"?), and the traders of New Spitalfields Markets. All the diverse voices took me back to places I've visited, and eager to return for more, and maybe with a different eye, thanks to all the fascinating perspectives in this book from all walks of life. less
