A brilliant book to dip in and out of. For those that love the works of rambling travel authors such as Bill Bryson this book will be a perfect addition to their collection
Walsall Chronicle
A fine piece of comic writing...by the end of the book he is, unlike his Maestro, firing on all cylinders
Nick Lezard, Guardian
A pilgrimage to the most derelict, unlovable and forlorn parts of Britain
Independent
Funny and squirmingly vivid
Daily Telegraph
Hilarious
Sun
Hilarious... This book will have you in stitches... What emerges is a nostalgic celebration of just how mad Britain can be (5 stars)
Hannah Britt, Daily Express
Moore has a nice line in description...and is able to describe the many absurdities encountered on his travels with admirable detachment
Choice Magazine
Moore is...a likeable guide and a witty turner of phrases, and his plunges into local history as he tootles around in his decrepit Austin Maestro demonstrate a gift for bathos and an eye for the poetry of dereliction
Euan Ferguson, Time Out
There aren’t many travel writers funnier than Tim Moore
Independent on Sunday
There's a true affection in the descriptions of bypasses, roundabouts and rainy caravan parks
Tom Cox, Daily Mail
Tim Moore's wry portraits of unfashionable British towns nicely combine knockabout humour, witty one-liners and an undertow of sadness
Sally Cousins, Sunday Telegraph
