[John Naylor · Rating 3 out of 5]

The first word that comes to mind with this poetry collection is "twee". It isn't particularly funny but has moments of slight amusement.

It is simplified, very English and definitely resonates with the age of the author. There is an old fashioned feel of love within the poems as well as a slightly grumpiness.

This isn't a bad collection. It isn't great either. It is worthy to pass some time and it did that for me.

An easy read book containing comical poetry from entertainer Des O'Connor with plenty of drawings and anecdotes to fill out the remainder of this short book.
