Reviews for The Full English
"Warm, well observed, unpretentious and very funny, this is the kind of cycle tour we can all imagine ourselves taking, though hopefully without the Man-flu."
"...articulate and witty account of one fortysomething man's quest to ride from one end of England to the other..."
"An easily read book, humorous, well written and full of the eccentricities of the English."
"Mike's relaxed and chatty style is never less than entertaining, making The Full English the sort of book that can put a smile on your face even when it is cold, grey Winter outside."
"If you want something a little quirky, try a bike ride around Britain from the comfort of your armchair, of course."
"...full of self-deprecating humour and endearing honesty about getting lost, being ill and enjoying or otherwise the hospitality of hostelries along the way."
"9/10 A delightfully individual account of tripping the length of England by bike."
"Mike’s easy reading and descriptive style has you riding alongside him from the start. This witty account had me giggling out loud many a time, from ‘Terry the Druid’ to ‘Beryl’ at the bizarre guesthouse in Alnmouth and the case of the ‘missing sausages’!"
"One man's trials and tribulations as he pedals across the country."
"...an entertaining and informative read..."
"The amusing story of a cycle ride the length of England."
"A great read. A lightening guide to the country with simple un-heroic endeavour and humour."
"This thoroughly enjoyable chronicle of one man's 'mid-life crisis' is England's answer to Round Ireland with a Fridge, by Tony Hawks - but without the fridge."
"The humorous story of a bike ride from one end of England to the other."
"...engaging, informative, entertaining and very, very witty"
