An enjoyable listen from one of the worlds most sorely missed authors. A well read version too!

Loved the variety of subject matter, cars, roads, food and wine, friendships, and yes a bit of whiskey talk, actually a lot of whiskey talk. Banks style and wit that he shows in his fiction and Sci-Gi are still there, plus we hear more about his own life at that time. One of my favourites, RIP IMB.

Iain Banks is a great writer!

The research for this book was clearly a hoot, but it's not one of Iain Banks's better works.

Nice work if you can get it.

Like sinking into a comfy armchair in a highland pub. Banks is funny, erudite, and just generally brilliant here.

Brilliant
