Críticas:

"Achingly funny and almost unbearably moving" (Daily Mail)

"Carr's brilliantly written account of life as a single parent should become a required manual on parenting" (Sunday Times)

"Both men and women need his confident, politically incorrect but thoroughly realistic assertions." (Independent)

"It's about living life to the full. It's full of everyday observations that are about real life, not just reel life." (Clive Owen Daily Mail)

"Compulsive" (Guardian)

Reseña del editor:

When Simon Carr's wife, Susie, tragically loses her battle with cancer, Simon is left to raise his five-year-old son, Alexander, on his own. Soon after, his eleven-year-old son from a previous marriage, Hugo, comes to live with them too. All too quickly, plumped-up cushions, crisp beds and a drifting scent of rosemary from the kitchen are replaced with a floor piled high with video-games, Lego® and comics. While visiting mothers deem his parenting 'semi-feral', Simon dryly retorts that his methods are simply 'free-range'.In this new all-male partnership, Simon faces the challenges of parenthood unaided, as father and sons alike learn to become a family again.

Carr's emotionally honest, compellingly anarchic and sharply comic story of a single parent's struggle is at once heartbreaking and wonderfully life-affirming.
