Bob Mortimer wins book prize for debut novel

I enjoyed his autobiography and might now give this a go.

Also learned that large bottles of champagne are named after biblical characters so thanks for that!

One of them is also named after a Tom Selleck character

Breaking news from Loughborough Waterstones (for me anyhow). The Hotel Avocado.

I ordered my independent book shop special edition signed copy last night

It’s a nice story, very funny in parts and very Bob as people have said. As with his autobiography, it’s worth getting the audiobook as it’s Bob reading it which I think makes it even funnier. Looking forward to follow up

I was pleased with what it achieved for me certainly.

I really enjoyed TSC. I think it helps if you’ve listened to the Athletic Mince podcast though as you can definitely see correlation between characters from that in the book.
You then start to read it in the voice of the podcast characters which for me made it funnier.

I read the paranoid nuisance character with the voice of Neil Hunt, the Nonsense Potter.
