the voices and accents are absolutely awful, like something from 1980's children's TV. The story was good but the main character is just way too unbelievable, which may be done to the narration as much as anything. Made it about halfway through but had to abandon as I was getting increasingly frustrated with it.

for 80% of this I was intrigued, slightly hooked. Yes, at times I wondered if it was written by a teenager with no life experience, but there were enough twists and turns to keep me invested. Then, suddenly it descended into absolute nonsense. Major life incidents and key life events were completely forgotten and life went back to normal, only for characters to suddenly remember stuff six months later. I gave up with two hours left and deleted the book from my library. So much promise but didn't deliver.

it's a truly inspiring story, and very well written. slightly spoiled by the narration, which was trying too hard on the comedy side, and falling short. Overrall a good book.

Absolutely brilliant. Well crafted story, put together in such an interesting way, showing different points of view. Brilliant debut novel, can't wait for more.

Brilliant story, and awesome narration. I really loved this from start to finish. I felt so much empathy for the main character and just couldn't stop listening as I wanted to find out his fate.

I have been through every possible emotion during this book. I had tears running down my cheeks at various stages. A beautifully written story, so powerful and moving. Looking forward to more from Mikey. It isn't often I would give a book 10/10 but this one does it.

As a huge fan of the Godfather, I've no idea why I've not come across this book before. A great story, and a good narrator.

Always loved this guy, despite not being a rugby fan. His book is awesome, an inspirational story.
