Back cover:
Anecdotes and commentary about life in Singapore by a long-term British expat working as a sports reporter for the Straits Times.

I bought this from a chock full secondhand bookshop in Singapore, hoping for some insights. I started reading on the plane on the way home and whizzed through the first half. It was amusing, self-deprecating and genuinely interesting. But about halfway through, I started to become irritated at the author’s “I’m just a common Dagenham boy” act and some of his studentlike antics, plus he started repeating himself and trying to get all political.

Released at the Little Free Library on Powell Street in Victoria, Vancouver Island.

If you release the book somewhere else, you can tell its previous readers so we can follow its journey. If you’d like to do the same, you can join for free. It’s a lot of fun and there’s an international community linked by a forum, too. If you do join, i would love it if you mentioned me, bookguide, as the ‘referring member’. Happy readiing!
