All the Bananas Ive Never Eaten by Tony Williams
In these tiny stories are brief lives that will make you laugh and pity and love. Each story crams a whole world into a couple of pages you can sneak them one at a time whenever you have a spare minute, or gobble the lot with a cast of hundreds in a single day.Tony Williams has successfully used the medium of literature to weave in and out of the life of the average person, re-creating those lives for our reading pleasureThe emotion, humour and awkwardness in these tales is the closest thing to real-life I have read in an extremely long time and I would certainly recommend this book to anyone looking for a good book that will keep you on your toes.
* Sabotage Reviews *There are some perfect little gems in this work; my particular favourite was the two-page story about a man who is jealous of his girlfriend’s pet chickens and how he gets his revenge.
It does give a funny, and sometimes wrenching view of the lives of us eccentric Brits.
