"It came from an independent publisher. I’m really glad it got through. Again, it’s a sort of situation comedy. It’s looking at ourselves, same dynamic. It reminded me of One Foot in the Grave— playing out scenarios just so we can watch them and think, ‘Urgh, I’m really glad I’m not that guy,’ but also: ‘I’m a bit like that guy, I need to think about that.’ There’s a bit of it that’s slightly freakshow-ish. But it’s really fun. It’s ‘keeping up with the Joneses’ brought to life, brought up to date. Yes, it’s about competing with yourself, but it’s not yourself. And realizing you have more to offer to life than the outside things. Lots of great thoughts for the day. It’s a really nice book. If I say it’s an ‘easy read,’ that makes it sound like it’s a simple book, but more than that, it’s a very comfortable, comforting book. I know this style, but it’s still got freshness to it."
