Review: Brilliant book and very inspirational. I am also a fan of parkrun which is mentioned throughout the book. Made me want to run a marathon. Read very quickly so that speaks volumes.
Review: The author is an unusual guy and this makes for an unusual book. With its musings on parenting, ageing, history and other mundane subjects this could easily have been a crap book. But it’s actually great - thoughtful, provocative, intimate in parts. The author’s reflections on growing older are surprisingly compelling. I found many stayed me with between chapters and got me thinking. It’s a lovely read and I highly recommend it.
