“An embarrassing book to read in public. I defy you to read it without laughing out loud.”

“A wonderful, wonderful read. It takes pride of place in my house. I’m a very proud Australian and the things that that book covered, it was me. And I’m sure a lot of people saw themselves in all the things described. It was all very, very true.”

A beautiful evocation of childhood. Don’t miss reading Over the Top with Jim. It’s one of the funniest most moving autobiographies around.

Brilliantly witty...a wonderfully innocent, beguiling book

Reading The Great Fletch, I could smell the gum leaves.

“Hugh has provided us with a large number of candid insights into his formative years, even some scarifyingly brutal insights. I’m impressed by the number of occasions when the notion of impure thoughts is mentioned… It’s an affectionate, slightly wistful, and embarrassingly accurate account of the way I remember growing up.”

Hugh Lunn writes of his Brisbane suburban childhood with great feeling and affection. It’s a book that had me roaring with laughter…a warm, witty and amusing remembrance.

‘A marvellous ability to take us back in time to where nostalgia meets reality’

Think Russell Crowe in tennis whites

‘Has written truly about the Vietnam War. Even the lies are true’
