Perfect for when you have to hang around
This book is one of those brilliant books you can read anywhere or give to someone as a present at any time. It is made up of many short extracts instead of one long storyline so you don't have to put aside a period of time to get into it.It is particularly enjoyable because it includes many different moods: hilarious in one clip-i laughed out loud during the extract 'on being chased by killer bees' and sad and thought-provoking in others (the section on illness is very moving). It is very much about those little life experiences and what you can learn from them. I'd recommend it for many ages; from late teens onwards, so it can be shared around the whole family. Definintely well worth it as it is small enough to fit in a handbag or briefcase and one of those timeless books that can be read again and again.
