An incredibly moving tale, one that could melt the toughest hearts. I enjoyed it so much that I am using it as a key text in my undergraduate dissertation. Come on Tony, we want more!

I found the writing both realistic and absorbing in this funny toching book
catherine longmate (05/25/02)

Not gritty enough to be really interesting or really funny. Most of the issues are skimmed over but a good, quick holiday read.
Tyler (05/14/02)

It was really great and i makes you understand how hard it really is for a single parent and how much they really do care about their children.
Tonia Kontochristopoulou (04/17/02)

Very touching, very real, very true. An excellent book for anyone, it will make you laugh, cry, think, reconsider...... It's a must.
Sanja Nesic (04/15/02)

Realistic, witty, though a bit bitter. No heppy end, but that's life! Very good. Better than Nick Hornby.
Ilija Canak (04/13/02)

Really one of the best new books i`ve read in years. So touching, so warm, so human. Tony Parsons makes tumble all the books (so many n these days) concerning the difference between the two sex. You should read it if you love life, or begining to learn to love. Life or anything in it. Your unborn child. This book is like the story of my closest friend,you don`t read it, you listen to Parsons` human voice, thing so rare in those days. Forget everything and dive into it. You won`t regret it. You`ll never forget it. Excellent!
