Bob Servant: Hero of Dundee

To be honest I struggled a bit with this book. It was okay and slightly humorous in parts. I finished it at least.

Your Dad had a mate like this bloke. In fact, bits of this bloke were your Dad. And you know that one day, you'll be Bob - or certainly have Bob moments.More lovely gentle Dundee humour featuring the middle aged male absurdity that is Bob, Francis and all in Broughty FerryIf you saw the Brian Cox telly project: this is funnier, though hats off to them for having a go.But the real gold are the Servant email scammer books - genius!

Bob Servant is a legend. His eccentricities and sense of fun lure you in to a wonderful world of mischief and craziness that really make you belly laugh. Neil Forsyth does wonders with the character and he stands as a comic figure on a par with Rab C Nesbitt.

if you love the programme, its a must.

This is without doubt the funniest book i have ever read.However its not just me... i have leant it out to several friends and they said the same.If for some reason you read this book and don't laugh out loud on every page you need an ambulance and fast !I'm currently re reading it and can't put it down.What else can I say other than Buy it Now !

Everyone that needs to understand life in a small post-industrial coastal city in the North East of Scotland should read this. Especially if they wish to understand the window cleaning game.

This Bob Servant character is some bloke. Writing from a quarter badly under-represented in Scottish litearture, he paints a highly-entertaining account of an ordinary bloke on the make and introduces us to some typical characters who people his collection of stories and anecdotes from his working life in the east end of the City of Discovery. A lot of typical Scots humour and guaranteed to be enjoyed, in particular, by men.

On reading the other reviews, I expected a book which would make me laugh out loud. Although this one has raised a smile on occasion, it has not made me laugh. I think the style of this book does not lend itself very well to kindle relying on photographs and footnotes to enhance the humour. At present I am about 70% of the way through and although I will finish it ( I always do) I have had enough.
