I think ive read all of Keith's books and everyone is a 5 star. Characters are so well written their outward and inner dialogues are superbly poised especially to men of a certain age. However he is also so good at written women in supporting roles you can tell he asks questions to real people with the experiences he is writing about to get it right.
Especially a subject of despair our main guy Kev feels in this but also the entrapment we all feel in modern life about missed opportunities and trudging through until you cant trudge no more. The fantasy/magic elements are always so well weaved into the moral story and don't detract from the real story they are just perfect plot enhances. Great deal of hope, great deal of warmth and funny real life dialogue makes these book read so well and hard to put down read this one in two sittings.
Hopefully another deeds or Clement book arrives before the summer holidays!

Thought provoking and searching for unlikely answers
It would be hard to read this book and not find familiarity with one or more episodes in one’s life. There are some harsh realities which we all might have experienced at some time or another, either personally or through a family member or friend.
With the storyline knitting a number of often unpalatable home truths together, if there is a message highlighted by the disparate characters it’s the tragedy of self inflicted personal isolation. As we read on we become aware of the benefits of sharing emotionally and allowing others in, which more often than not results in finding a rewarding and satisfying light at the end of the tunnel.

Another book from Keith Pearson I couldn't put down
I am hooked on these books. They seem so real even though, as always, there is something supernatural going on. This one is, I think, a little darker than most, though all of them have a dark streak. The ending was inevitable from maybe two thirds into the book, but that only made it better for me. Reading this book, like all the others, is a journey from despair to redemption, which is life affirming and deeply satisfying. I'm tempted to say that each book is a morality fable set in the little world of small town England. Thanks Keith.

Congratulations on Book 20 — at this rate you’ll need a loyalty card.
Another great read. Sharp, engaging, and “just one more chapter” dangerous.
I really appreciated how it tackles men’s mental health with honesty and depth — important stuff, handled brilliantly.
And as someone who loved a rave back in the day, the nostalgic touches definitely hit home (no glow sticks were harmed in the reading of this book).
Already looking forward to the next one.
I need a Clement fix ❤️

heartfelt, courageous and raw
Incredible! If you have ever touched even the outskirts of a character like Kevin then this will resonate in more ways than one. The wondering, the passing of time, the drudgery of everyday, the “what else?” and “what next?”
This book will hit deep but in a kind and sensitive way - like a mug of tea or a hug.
Different to Keith’s other stories but so vitally important and ultimately uplifting.

Inspirational and moving
This story is so emotionally real, you can really feel it throughout reading the story. It also has humour, but at it's heart is a very strong message about hope. I don't want to write any spoilers, but this book is fantastic.
Thank you Keith, you are a legend and incredibly brave. X

Amazing, as always!
Oh I do love reading Mr Pearson's books.
They are fantastically written, touching on very real topics, this one in particular, made me shed a few tears, but also made me smile too.
I also love the reminiscing in all of the books, the 80's and 90's - such good times!!!
Thank you Mr Pearson, I very much look forward to your 21st book.

Keith at his best
As a 52 year old man, I can only say how much this book resonates to my own life. My relationship with my now deceased father, my relationship with my 3 sons, all growing up and turning into young men. It is very touching in some places, humourous throughout the book. Keith has done his usual, in producing a brilliant read.

His Best Book Yet
I’ve loved all of Keith’s books but this one was something very special: I read the whole book in a day and can’t stop thinking about it. All emotionally buttoned down males should read this and think carefully about the underlying theme.
Bravo Keith.

I always love everything Keith writes, and this was no exception. It might be my favourite of his books. He pulls no punches with this frank look at middle-aged men and their struggles with their emotions. But luckily, he doesn't shy away from his usual humour, so the lows are balanced out with jokes and joy.
As always, a beautifully written story of magic with a huge heart behind it. Loved it.

Good book
*I enjoyed this story immensely! I laughed and cried! Great story of redemption and reflection, that gives way to family reunion and self growth.

Thought provoking but fun story
This is a thought provoking story that deals with serious issues but always with Keith Pearson's good humour and well drawn characters
