Most of us really enjoyed the book. We loved the sense of humour; the style of writing; and the emails/footnotes etc. Invercargill 001

The author's style of using footnotes put off a few members, but once we got into the book we really enjoyed it. A very clever and funny read. Dunedin 002

We loved this book, and we had the added treat of the author Robert Glancy at our meeting. He was fantastic - open, funny and hugely entertaining. We are looking forward to his next book. Auckland 171

A very clever thought-provoking read. Nearly all of our members enjoyed the book. We are looking forward to reading the author's new book, based in Africa. Cromwell 003

The majority of the group enjoyed the book; we enjoyed the writing and humour. A book of many themes - poignant and amusing. The footnotes were interesting, but could be frustrating. The small print was small!! The notes were very good, and we enjoyed the interview with the author, which revealed a lot about his writing style and the themes. Christchurch 088

We had quite a mixed reaction to the book. Some members didn't like it, but others did, and could relate to the frustrations of the author. One member found it really made her question her choices in life, and resolved to make decisions regarding her choice of job. We also had a mixed reaction to the footnotes, ranging from great, to ok, to a pain! Generally we agreed it was an unusual style of writing, and certainly a unique way of presenting the story, which suited its content completely. Queenstown 010
