The Diary of a Nobody - George Grossmith

 
Description: ISBN 0199540152 / Author: George Grossmith / Genre: Fiction / Published by Penguin Books

Newest Review: ... months in the life of Charles Pooter, his family and his friends. Pooter loves to think that he has life under control but ... more

 ... often nothing could be further from the truth. The diary was written in the Victorian era so the text is quaint and way behind the times now. The Diary is full of laughter, light story lines and much mirth. The book fits into the humorous section of anyone's bookshelf perfectly but it is more often than not Pooter's gaffes that we end up rolling with laughter about. The entire diary is made up of 24 chapters but the whole book only contains 228 pages so it is not long and lengthy by any means and there is no time to b...more

Premium Review The Diary of a Nobody - George Grossmith: The Diary Of Someone Who Should Have Been Somebody (582 words)
by Emmald - written on 22/06/09 (Very useful, 86 readings)
Rating:

The Diary Of a Nobody written by George and Weedon Grosssmith was originally published in Punch magazine and in subsequent years it has been added to. George Grossmith (1847-1912) was a actor turned comedian and Weedon Grossmith (1852-1919) was also in the entertainment business and it was he who illustrated the Diary Of A Nobody. This is a purely fictitious story that centres around the life of Charles Pooter, a lower middle- class London city clerk who quite rightly so believed that his rather ordinary day to day routine was worth documenting and saving for future generations to read and share. Charles strives to be the epitome of the Victorian ...

I was also surprised that this hasn't had more reviews! I was passed this book by my mother. She normally reads very high brow books and I had asked her is she had something more suitable for me she could recommend. As the title suggests this really is a diary of a nobody although the diarys author may disagree. Mr and Mrs Pooter have just moved into their new house and Mr Pooter has resolved to keep a diary (havent we all at some point in time?) Mr Pooters diary is of all his day to day things he does. Had drink with friends, wife bought new vase etc etc. and i think this is the genious of it. You get to spy into someone else every day ...

I'm amazed that nobody has written a review of this excellent book before now. The mind-numbingly yet hilarious world of Pooter is a joy. Charles Pooter, along with his wife Carrie, move to a new house, The Laurels in Holloway and Pooter resolves to keep a diary. One gets the impression he harbours a great desire to go down in posterity as a latter-day Pepys but as you read the diary, you realise that there is no way that is ever going to happen! His life is filled with the mundane and his diary is full of very dreary everyday occurrences which somehow are extremely funny. This is largely because it is soon very apparent that Pooter is an exceptionally ...
