Have read all the books in the series and listened to most in audio form.
Fascinating insight into social history and memories of life and school in the 80’s
Sadly the author’s stilted narrative spoilt some of the books although I love his Yorkshire accent

Beautifully written

I found the book really annoying, from the narrators voice, to how it was written, no flow to the story, it's she said this, & Mrs A said that. in fact I could finish it

worst book I have purchased,
