This is way different to the movie. You can tell it's aged because of some of the language used that would be considered slurs nowadays. For example, the antizigan slur

gypped

is used to mean stolen. If you can look past that though the book as a standalone piece of literature is acceptable.

It's fine, but tbh doesn't add much that a hardcore Oseman Stan wouldn't already know.

Sickeningly funny and an awful insight into the abuse that forms child stars.

A delightfully raw and vulnerable account of therapy, in terms of both reception and delivery. Highly recommended.

I thought this was a better book than Wasted, though the style may not be to everyone's taste.

Absolutely wonderful.

Interesting but not my usual thing.

We need more books with fig trees as narrators.

I really enjoyed this book; I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I did.

Pretty good if you're curious about life at sea today
