Simon is just an ordinary family man, wife, two children, and a dog called Orph.
This story chronicles one of his days, a day when a combination of farsical work situations and comical family events leads him to question whether he can change his future completely, start a new career perhaps? Having read The Naked Emperor I was looking forward to reading this prequel and I wasn't dissapointed.
What a difference a day makes....
I can recommend this hilarious book as a brilliant read to anyone who just wants to smile for a change.

Quite humorous and I found myself chuckling out loud on several occasions.
