New Title

"I have to tell you about this book! It’s going to be in my Top 10 this year. I can hand on heart tell you that this is THE funniest book I have ever read. Seriously, I laughed out loud so many times. It’s genuinely hilarious, but with an undercurrent of warmth and humility, plus it’s full of down-to-earth (if not a bit bonkers) characters. If you enjoyed films like The Full Monty, Billy Elliot, The Bank of Dave, and you’re looking for something a bit different to your usual read, then give this a go. I guarantee Barry White will make you smile."

"I had such a blast narrating this one - Rob’s writing has the ability to deliver poignancy, off-the-wall absurdity and acerbic Welsh wit, all in the space of a paragraph; one particular description of a desperate run for the try line in a certain rugby match had me doing multiple retakes on account of my own laughter! Big, bold characters with a lot of heart - if you’re fan of 𝙏𝙬𝙞𝙣 𝙏𝙤𝙬𝙣, 𝙂𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙮, 𝙐𝙥 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙐𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧; rugby fans, this one’s for you!"

"Is nothing sacred? Not in this laugh out loud comedy by Rob Harris. He targets everything and everyone, and hits the bullseye with every shot. If you read one comic novel this year, make it 'The Absurd Life Of Barry White'."

"If I had to sum up this book in just one word, it would be adorable. The storyline was great and extremely believable, one minute you are chuckling with laughter and emotional the next. The relationship Barry had with his mother was so old school but simply divine. It certainly had me hooked and wanting more. This is the first book I have read by this author and I can’t wait to read more."

"This book almost carries a "Fredrik Backman" vibe to it. Barry White is character that you cannot help but love. This novel is hilarious..."

"I have just finished reading a really lovely cricket book called Won't You Dance for Virat Kohli? If you would like to meander through life with a cricket story then this is one you should read."

"This is a truly splendid book, written by a man whom all cricket enthusiasts can easily identify with. The author deserves any amount of praise for an excellent book."

"Lovely read on a lovely afternoon. Gentle and genial in parts, confessional in others."

"A beautifully written book that I enjoyed immensely. It was funny, it was sad, it was emotional, it shocked. It flowed from page to page then reversed itself and made me feel how important cricket was and is in our lives."
