Just Ignore Him by Alan Davies

vicf99's review against another edition

dark emotional sad medium-paced

5.0

Absolutely heartbreaking. Listening to Alan narrate this himself was so devastating that I had to listen to the whole 8.5 hours in one sitting. This book felt a lot like some form of self-therapy and there are many questions posed throughout the book for which he has no answer. This is definitely a book which will stick with me for a while.

Absolutely, profoundly devastating. This must have taken so much courage to write but I think it is really important that this story has been told and I'm grateful to Alan Davies for finding the strength to share. Beautifully written, too.
