None of the main regular characters are in this one, it centres on the life of Richard Kent, a disgruntled ex-policeman turned pub landlord, who has turned up in some of the earlier novels. At age 42 in 2018 he is suicidally depressed by the way his life has turned out. A guardian angel offers him a chance to relive six days in his life, from buying his first record in 1984, dating his dream girl in 1994 and attempting to foil a robbery in 2013. It turns out he cannot make any direct changes to the past, though he can learn lessons to put the past in perspective and improve his mental attitude for the future (as well as gaining revenge on some unpleasant types in the process). This was rather different from the other previous novels in the series, though I enjoyed some of the reminiscences of the 80s and 90s. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Richard Kent is middle-aged, bored and miserable. His weight has ballooned to eighteen stone and he's got high blood pressure, piles and gout. His wife nags him, his kids ignore him and his boss thinks he's a dinosaur. He doesn't understand modern culture, especially pop music. All his old friends have disappeared and his favourite pubs have all gone, turned into restaurants or nail bars. When redundancy looms, a leap off the roof of the local supermarket car park seems like his only viable option. But then a familiar face from his own past appears and offers him a lifeline. What if he could go back? A trip back in time to his seven year old self is just the beginning of a roller coaster journey through his own past. This novel is the second in a series of spin-offs set in the same universe as the author's Time Bubble series. It is intended as a standalone story which can be enjoyed whether the reader has read the earlier stories or not. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
