Praise for Bob 'As a comedian, Bob Mortimer spins a shaggy-dog story like nobody else' The Guardian ‘Mortimer’s verbal specificity and off-kilter humour will keep his fans chuckling’ The Times 'There is a sweetness to his worldview that makes his writing gently poignant... Like Spike Milligan, the only vintage comic whose fiction is still read, Mortimer has managed to use a novel as a vehicle for his distinctive comedic voice' The Telegraph The narrative remains focused on its core themes while allowing room for exploration. Supporting ideas enhance rather than distract from the main story. This balance contributes to a sense of unity throughout the book. The book’s appeal lies partly in its ability to feel both engaging and grounded. Rather than relying on exaggerated scenarios, it presents situations that feel plausible and meaningful. This realism adds depth to the reading experience.
