Recenzii
Alongside
laugh-out-loud
travel
stories,
the
book
also
provides
a
moving
account
of
her
coming
to
terms
with
her
father's
death
Vivid, laugh-out-loud, moving
Alongside a wealth of vivid and hilarious travel stories, Sue also writes movingly about coming to terms with the recent death of her father as she stands beside the Ganges
The former Bake Off presenter journeys far out of her comfort zone on travels from India to Indonesia, sharing entertaining travel stories and a moving account of grieving for her father
An unvarnished, endearing and very funny account
Part memoir, part travel guide. A fab account full of wit and emotion
Her misadventures deliver laughs aplenty, but she's also engaged with the places, politics and crucially, the people. Enjoyable, interesting and often moving
Praise forSpectacles:
Drama, tears and laughs -Spectacleshas got it all. A brilliant, touching memoir suffused with love, it reminds you that life is best lived at wonky angles. I ADORED it
Very funny . . . It seems there are two Sue Perkins: the TV one, who gabbles and pratfalls, and the sensitive one who aches. The first of course, exists to protect the second. They can both write. The first writes comedy, the second tragedy; in this sense, reading her memoir is very like meeting her
It's a proper book . . . so well written. Tight & bright & full of inspiration
Utterly wonderful. It's very, very funny and poignant and it's very Sue Perkins and that's the bliss of it
Relentlessly cheering,Spectaclesis as charming and funny as Perkins herself. Like going for a long, slightly drunken lunch with your naughtiest friend
Brilliantly written . . . fearlessly honest and full of heart, it will also make you laugh like a gibbon
I absolutely loved it . . . whip smart and very funny
Life, love and loss - it's all here ... Warm, crisp and beautifully layered - like its author,Spectaclesis a complete delight
[A] deftly written and belly-laugh funny autobiography . . . Though she never suggests she might be remotely brainy, she clearly is. Her vocabulary makes Will Self's seem lacking, her writing is full of discreetly clever allusions . . . If she wants her readers to like her, she certainly achieved it with this reviewer who laughed and cried and secretly wants her as a best friend
Sue's memoir will leave you feeling like you've made a new best friend. Introducing us to a cast of friends, family and love interests, and not forgetting a psychopathic nun, Sue picks apart life in a refreshingly honest, warm and downright hilarious way...Spectaclesfirmly cements her as an exciting writer of the future
This smart and funny story is far from the photo-heavy, ghost-written volumes that it will compete with . . . Perkins is such a good writer . . . incapable of writing a boring sentence
