An absolute joy from start to finish, I didn’t want it to end. Phil is warm, gentle and brilliantly funny, this book is enhanced by his reading it himself. Thanks Phil, you’ve made my life a happier place.

Bob Mortimer’s life was trundling along happily until suddenly in 2015 he was diagnosed with a heart condition that required immediate surgery and forced him to cancel an upcoming tour. The episode unnerved him but forced him to reflect on his life so far. This is the framework for his hilarious and moving memoir, And Away....

Bob’s me Uncle
Reviewed: 25-10-21
He’s not, obviously, but it feels like he’s one of the family. It sounds daft, but Bob Mortimer has probably made me laugh more than anyone over the years. I was even lucky enough to meet him once with the cast of the final show of Big Night Out.
This book has laughs and sadness, read by Bob, it’s a must listen, I’m sad I’ve reached the end.
Thank You Bob

If you're a lover of our feathered friends, this book will be right up your street. A great introduction to spotting and identifying birds, even the obvious ones. I've listened to parts of it over again, I just wish it was indexed to help revisit individual bird chapters. A lovely relaxing listen with a morning coffee.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 53
Thirty five concerts. Seventeen thousand motorcycle miles. Three months. One lifetime. In May 2015 the veteran Canadian rock trio Rush embarked on their 40th anniversary tour, R40. For the band and their fans, R40 was a celebration and, perhaps, a farewell. But for Neil Peart, each tour is more than just a string of concerts; it's an opportunity to explore backroads near and far on his BMW motorcycle. So if this was to be the last tour and the last great adventure, he decided it would have to be the best one, onstage and off.

Nobody's hero
Reviewed: 06-11-19
Neil would hate this but he's always been a hero of mine. I've been a Rush fan for far too many years than I'd care to admit, Neil's drumming a massive part of that. Although I've perhaps listened to this first when in fact I'd probably should have gone to Ghost Rider I don't think it mattered that much. It's also given me a new view point on the later Rush albums, a revitalised interest. Hoping that one day that one more tour will happen..
My only ctritism is the reader, I really wish it had been Mr Peart himself, there are times where there are sentences/quotes that I felt lacked the inflection intended, feeling read rather than spoken? Overall though still brilliant

Superstar comedian and Hollywood box-office star Kevin Hart turns his immense talent to the written word by writing some words. Some of those words include: the, a, for, above, and even even. Put them together and you have the funniest, most heartfelt, and most inspirational memoir on survival, success, and the importance of believing in yourself since Old Yeller.

No one is born a leader. But through sheer determination and by confronting life’s challenges, Ant Middleton has come to know the meaning of true leadership. In First Man In, he shares the core lessons he’s learned over the course of his fascinating, exhilarating life. Special forces training is no walk in the park. The rules are strict, and they make sure you learn the hard way, pushing you beyond the limits of what is physically possible. There is no mercy. Even when you are bleeding and broken, to admit defeat is failure.

Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse have been friends for 30 years, but when life intervened, what was once a joyous and spontaneous friendship dwindled to the odd phone call or occasional catch up. Then, Glory Be! They were both diagnosed with heart disease and realised that time is short. They'd better spend it fishing...So they dusted off their kits, chucked on their waders and ventured into the achingly beautiful British countryside to fish, rediscover the joys of their friendship and ruminate on some of life's most profound questions....
