Before you make an appointment with your GP surgery, think about what other services might be able to help. You can use textphone 18001 or the NHS 119 British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter service if you have difficulties communicating or hearing, or if you are a BSL user. Find a walk-in centre The characterisation is good although with the exception of Scotty most are not very likeable and I especially like how Scotty’s wife Kirsty certainly has the measure of Bob! Some of the best dialogue is between those two! Bob is, well, you’ll just have to meet him and make your own mind up! One of the aspects I found failed for me was that by using the phone the author was not really able to see what was happening at the other end of the phone .Despite this there was description of things like what they were wearing

It does have a fair bit of humour, if a little dark, which suits me. The dialogue between characters was good and there's a lot of it, which I also like. It did get a little violent at one point which I didn't like very much, too graphic and unpleasant for my sensitive soul, but it's only in one bit and doesn't run all the way through the book, thankfully. If your treatment will last longer than 14 days, you'll have to register as a temporary or permanent resident. I suppose I would describe the book as quite blokey ,it might appeal best to the summer holiday readership people who like to read on holiday and want something light and fun to read This book was such a wild ride! Especially that ending! Bob Bloomfield starts out as an unlikeable, pretty grumpy, almost old man. I've seen a couple of people complaining that he's unlikeable but that's the whole point of the book. How does a grumpy old man undergo a Scrooge-esque transformation if he's nice to begin with? It really makes the story work and I loved the learning to appreciate what you've got message. And the others characters are likeable enough at the beginning to make up for it, I loved Scotty (in all timelines)!Giving his younger self advice, then revisiting the past to give his parents a warning, he believes he's changed the hand of fate for the better. I loved the "how" of the time-altering/changing the past thing with the phone, I thought that was really cool. The way it then worked in the present made me feel a little uneasy at the start in the same way that The Midnight Library did for me with the whole memory issue but not as bad. It definitely worked for this book though and the story wouldn't have worked if it had been done differently. There was only one little bit that seemed like it didn't fit with the way the time change mechanic worked the rest of the way through the book.

I admit, I was a bit, 'oh another celebrity novel,'' but I do love Steve Jones as a presenter, and the premise was interesting, so I thought, 'why not.' And I'm so pleased I did.
