All the Bananas Ive Never Eaten by Tony Williams

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.
