Summary

 On the eve of his 36th birthday, author Mike Gayle picked up a pen and contemplated his life. He is nowhere near being an adult - even though his tenth wedding anniversary is looming and his second child due shortly. Appalled by this lack of maturity, Mike draws up a to-do list containing every item he's been meaning to do but keeps putting off.©2009 Mike Gayle (P)2009 WF Howes Ltd Contemporary Fiction Genre Fiction Fiction Comedy

The sample of this audio stayed with me long after I listened to it so I went back to the computer to seek it out and download it. It's my favorite audio book so far. I can see this as a tv drama with Timothy Spall as the lead. It's tailor-made for him. And yes, I did write my own long list of To Do's, I was so inspired by it. I'm thinking of starting a To Do List club with people like us, who want To Do, but often don't.

Loved it!

I love this book it is so funny it will make you laugh out loud in places.Some of Mikes tasks will make you go ahhh especially his trip to New York to replace his wifes mug , how romantic. Not too sure about the narrator, so ok Mike is residing in Birmingham , but as a native of the city I found the accent to be that of an actor putting on a Brum accent which can be very annoying. I have met the authour on a couple of occasions and he sounds nothing like this guy, he's much more up market.
Anyway, well worth a listen as unabridged so you get the full monty. Enjoy.

Funny stuff

Just brilliant. By turns hilarious and also deeply moving, this book makes a really enjoyable listen. The Brummie accents help to make it particularly entertaining (no offence to Brummies intended ;))
Highly recommended.

Great fun

Narrator sounded annoyed throughout the book. Although Gayle states he set out with a purpose in mind, unfortunately it was more about ticking off items. Not so funny either . A shame as I've enjoyed his previous books.

Bit of a let down
