My review -
People
embarking on Book Three in the Edward series are sure to be Edward fans
already. We have seen him, through the previous two books, turn from a
solitary, rather mistrustful man, to someone who learns to socialise and become
a friend. He and Sheila, now married, learn they are to be parents, and this
book takes the form of letters to his unborn child, to which Sheila adds her
own notes.
Through
the writer's skill, Edward's voice comes through loud and clear. He learns to
stand up for himself and to be considerate of others, not easy for him, bearing
in mind his background. He is very literal and this often results in humour. He
is convinced that he’s really funny but much of the humour comes from his
failure to understand or to empathise with others, try though he might. The
story is often surprising and at times exciting. I found it a really enjoyable
read.
