How do you even begin to write a review of a book which expresses trenchant, no-holds-barred opinions on reviewers and the process of being reviewed? But the task is there, so there's nothing for it but to roll up your sleeves, gather your courage and mutter the word with which A L Kennedy regularly signs off from her blog: Onwards.

A L Kennedy has written several award-winning novels and collections of short stories. Try [[Day by A L Kennedy|Day]] which won the Costa Book of the Year Award in 2007. And if you want another book on writing, try [[Scribble, Scribble, Scribble: Writing on Ice Cream, Obama, Churchill and My Mother by Simon Schama]], much of which has also appeared in the Guardian newspaper.
