Reviews

Praise for The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen, 831/4 Years Old * - * Very funny -- Jeremy Paxman * Financial Times * Terrific. This geriatric Adrian Mole made me laugh -- Fanny Blake * Woman and Home * I laughed until I cried and then laughed and cried some more -- David Suchet There are many laughs in this book but it's so much more than just a comedy. It's a story about how friendship, selflessness and dignity lie at the heart of the human experience. When I'm an old man, I want to be Hendrik Groen. -- John Boyne
