I Fear for This Boy: Some Chapters of Accidents

by Theo Fennell

Theo Fennell's picaresque journey from the depths of financial despair to the glittering celebrity world of the rich and famous is a comic classic comparable to Three Men in a Boat or Bill Bryson's The Thunderbolt Kid. Despite the occasional success disasters and failures dominate his business life. Nonetheless his jewellery has brought pleasure to thousands and this book will bring pleasure to millions.

“I ripped through this book like a train, snorting with laughter and delight……I cannot recommend the ride highly enough.” Stephen Fry
“…but the end result is that Fennell has produced one of the funniest books I have ever read. Utterly beguiling and superbly well-written, it will become a classic of the genre, I predict.” William Boyd

Rather self indulgent

Amusing and a likeable author. Somewhat self indulgent. Tried to use far too many big words just to show off that he knows them. Having said that, I enjoyed the book.

Such a witty, charming and laugh out loud read. Loved every page and laughed a lot. What a super storyteller!

This fella would be a fantastic dinner guest. You won't learn much from this book but it should lift your spirits... I laughed heartily and regularly and that's good enough for me.

I've met the author, and been given a tour of his workshop, and it was as entertaining as this book!

So ridiculous that I thought it was fiction to begin with, made me laugh a lot

Absolutely hilarious! Journey from broke creative to jeweller for the stars. The man could drink…
