Book Review

My Mess is a Bit of a Life – yes you did read that correctly – is how author Georgia Pritchett described herself to a friend – meaning of course to say it the other way round. But then she thought, actually it makes sense that way. Her book is subtitled Adventures in Anxiety. Now you may be one of those god-like creatures who doesn’t have the Worry Worm peering over your shoulder at just about every opportunity. In that case this book is probably not for you – except perhaps to see how the other half lives and count yourself blessed. But for the rest of us mortals Ms Pritchett’s account of her life will probably give you glorious moments of recognition, amusement, entertainment and maybe the odd gulp in the throat. It’s not by any stretch a self help book. Some of her little chunks of her early life might be a bit much – after all most children can be a little out of water and strange, but as she moves into adulthood, she really starts to hit the button. And her descriptions of later family life make you think it’s no wonder she suffered from anxiety. It may not be your life, but it’s often stuff you can relate to.

So, not for everyone, but it’s funny and sad at the same time. And wrapped up in a real skill for writing. As you’d expect from someone who has been writing for comedians such as Graham Norton and programmes including The Thick of It and Have I got News for You.
