Theo Fennell's picaresque journey from the depths of financial despair to the glittering celebrity world of the rich and famous is a comic classic comparable to Three Men in a Boat or Bill Bryson's The Thunderbolt Kid. Despite the occasional success disasters and failures dominate his business life. Nonetheless his jewellery has brought pleasure to thousands and this book will bring pleasure to millions.
Amusing and a likeable author. Somewhat self indulgent. Tried to use far too many big words just to show off that he knows them. Having said that, I enjoyed the book.
This fella would be a fantastic dinner guest. You won't learn much from this book but it should lift your spirits... I laughed heartily and regularly and that's good enough for me.
