Advantages: Very funny and an insight into life at the times

Disadvantages: none!

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 life!

Admittedly this book is rather old and thus the persons life is a rather old fashioned one but it shows you exactly how life may have been lived in those days and the things that were important to them then.

A great read, easy to dip in to as set out in diary form so very easy to find your place again!

One other thing, due to the language in this book I have expended my vocabulary (though shamefully not my spelling)

Summary: A fun short read
