Review
Praise for Harry Thompson and Penguins Stopped Play: (.)
'A comic gem.' (Ultratravel)
'Actually completely brilliant' (Ian Hislop)
'Hilarious' (Sunday Telegraph)
'A real gold standard sense of humour' (David Baddiel)
'Rare, clever, creative ... a maverick, pushing boundaries with outrageous jokes' (Guardian)
'The first chapter deserves to be anthologised alongside the funniest passages of cricket writing in the game's rich literary history, and what follows is crammed with sharp observation, comic and cruel characterisation and a great many very good jokes...It is a gloriously funny and life-affirming book, and if you know anyone who plays cricket and can read you should buy it for them' - Andrew Baker (Daily Telegraph)
'Surely the funniest book ever written about the English addiction to cricket...a beautiful tale of classic British humour, self-deprecation, great courage and one of the best accounts ever of the obsessive appeal of our summer game to those whose lives revolve around it' - Tom Rosenthal (Daily Mail)
'Engaging and full of humour, though it ends with an abrupt shift in tone when Thompson discovers that he has inoperable lung cancer' - Ludovic Hunter-Tilney (FT magazine)
'As funny as you would expect from the (sadly deceased) writer of Have I Got News For You' (Daily Express)
