Review of '21st-Century Yokel' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
3.5* (audiobook, read by the author)
I very much liked the sections about his life in Devon, walking in Holloway's and on the moor, and the insights into the lives of his friends there. I was much less keen on the family memoir parts, although others might enjoy those more than I did.
The writing is mostly accessible and enjoyable, apart from the frequent anaphoric repetition; used occasionally, this would be humorous, but used every few pages it becomes a bit irritating.
