Reviews

There's no one quite like Theo Fennell. Relive the high spots of a life crowded, as Lady Bracknell would say, with incident. Our hero Theo, while without fail making an improbable and preposterous arse of himself in every direction, always manages somehow to emerge from each adventure ruefully triumphant. I ripped through I Fear For This Boy like a train, snorting with laughter and delight as I rattled along, pulled by the power of Fennells unique story-telling genius. I cant recommend the ride highly enough. * Stephen Fry *
As funny as one of my books. I almost couldnt put it down. Theos book is as funny as Theo a rare achievement. * Barry Humphries *
One of the funniest books I have ever read. Utterly beguiling and superbly well-written. -- William Boyd
