It is a great book - so full of humour. I gave it to my husband to read when I had finished it and he loved it too. It's a timely reminder that elderly people are more than just a frail old body but have lived a life and have achievements that should be celebrated. If you want to read something else that's is also a great read then try Sue Townsend's 'The Woman who Went to Bed for a Year'.

Any Gransneters read this book? I thought it was possibly the most bizarre, clever and funny, funny book I've read. I also loved that someone to chose to write about an elderly person, and then give him such a thrilling life and exciting present.
I know we're all different so I may be alone in enjoying this so much - but I hope not.
