Believable 80s nostalgia (0 more)
Not enough happening (0 more)
Having read three other David Mitchell books I had an idea in my head of what this one would be like. I think if I hadn't had those preconceptions I would have enjoyed it more because this one wasn't anything like the others.

The plot follows a year in the life of 13/14 year old Jason Taylor growing up in a small country town in the 80s. This digs deep into all of the trials and tribulations of growing up if you're not popular but instead a rather awkward stuttered.

I liked the nostalgia but I just felt that the story was a little too steady, I kept expecting some revelation that we might be building towards so ultimately I just felt a little underwhelmed.
