Spike's Poems Audiobook

" How can you not enjoy Spike Milligan? He represents a class of English/Irish man that is fast diminishing. This book is the perfect antidote to the harsh facts of war and show's exactly what got the every day men through it.. humour. What I love about Spike Milligan(and others of his ilk) is the irreverence, surrealism and the fact they highlight that, essentially, everything in life is ridiculous. All hope could be lost, only for the laughing. "

" I have never laughed at a book the way I did this one. "

" 2 reads 20 years apart. "

" Hilarious book. I gave myself a stitch in the side sometimes. But my enjoyment was tainted by some racist undertones in the narrative . I was disappointed to discover that Milligan was actually well known to be a racist. But an enjoyable read nonetheless. "

" Read them all are sooooo funny. "

" Funny, Funny book well worth a read!! "

" At age 13... I could not believe thatbooks were meant to be this good or this funny. "

" Another I completely forgot to add. Spike Milligan rocks and if you've never read any of his stuff this is probably the best place to start. "

" Brilliant funny a great book!! I am looking forward to reading the others in the series!!!!!!! "

" I read this on a holiday and found myself laughing uncontrollably on a lounger. "

" One of the few things I miss about my ex-husband is his collection of Spike Milligan books; read this one whilst I was pregnant & doing a good impression of a beached whale & it made me laugh to much I nearly went into early labour. "

" Spike's introductory book is fun and makes an engaging read. You can tell he's feeling his way but this naivety is quite charming. Memorable characters are introduced, which helps when the subsequent volumes are read. "

" war is a nonsense brought about by the rich to keep us plebs in our place whilst securing their hold over the "order" "

" Poignant and funny at the same time. A difficult trick to pull off. Second book in the series ordered immediately after I finished the book so I really enjoyed it. "

" Some laugh out loud moments from a man the likes we wont see again. Recommended! "

" Sad, funny, haunting. "

" Excellent - funny "

" Off to a hilarious start! "

" Classic Spike. Not for all readers though. "

" A very funny book, and how did we ever win, going by that reference of life in the Army. Spikes back chat to his superiors must have got him into more trouble than that surly. If I got my bearings right the school in Turkey Road, where he was stationed at is now a housing estate. "
