Humour at it's Best
|
If while reading this book you do not laugh out loud, you are missing a sense of humour. This is a series of letters from a friend of the Plass family who has broken her femur and writes with the fervor, passion and spelling of an eight year old. Plass collected her letters and some of the responses she received and published them in this hilarious collection.
Andromeda has written to the Plass's and some of their friends but she also writes to famous people: Mister Gorgeouschops, her MP, Pope John Paul, Cliff Richard ad many more. The humour and wit surrounding this girl as she recovers from her injury will make you laugh and look at any future convalescence you have with very different eyes.
This little book is picked up in my extended family time and time again, and never fails to bring a laugh and smile.

Side-splittingly funny.

I honestly nearly fell off my chair with laughter! An amazingly well-written book of the correspondence of the sweet eight-year-old Andromeda between her and the people of her church when she is laid up in hospital with a broken femur after roller skating while attempting to eat museli. Her letters to Father John a "halibut nunk" and "Mr Gorgeous Chops" (Gorbachev), are particularly funny. In trying to solve her family problems, she even writes to God. A definate must-read, even for the non-religeous types!!
