 A Gem January 6, 2009
Bernadette (Cork, Ireland)
This is not the kind of book I'm usually drawn to - but I'm so glad I picked it up. It's sweet, funny, clever and thought provoking. Buy it!

What is there to like or dislike about this book? Mr. Bennett must be laughing to himself as he cashes his latest royalty cheque. He probably churned this out in his sleep. A very short novella with a sweet storyline this does exactly what is says on cover. In fact just read the cover. It is funny, it is well written and it is enjoyable but I really think that it is over hyped and overrated.

A little gem, perfect for a cosy afternoon read with tea and buns, and the voice of Alan Bennett talking in your head
It all started with the corgis December 12, 2008
Damaskcat (UK)
I stumbled on this book by accident and I absolutely love it. The Queen following her recalcitrant corgis, comes across a mobile library. She decides to borrow a book and starts talking to Norman, one of her kitchen staff. Somewhat surprised she becomes captivated by reading. How this changes her life and the lives of those around her makes for an excellent read. But this is a book with just that little bit of acid in it and a main character who decides she will have her own way after years of doing her duty. The machinations of the courtiers are brilliantly portrayed as is her friendship with Norman. The world seems a better place after reading this and I would recommend it to anyone who likes a little bit of whimsy with their fiction. It is a book to treasure and deserves to become a classic. The finale is a masterpiece.

Alan Bennett has discovered a latent royalist tendency with this little gem, Her Majesty being portrayed as, in this one respect at least - a reader, nay devourer of books, whatever next - just like us. It won't do, can't be allowed actually. I chuckled and chortled and laughed out loud and was cheering every successful subterfuge. It's a book that makes you feel good.
