About this listen

 THERE'S NO PLANET LIKE HOME

After an 'incident' one wet Friday night where he was found walking naked through the streets of Cambridge, Professor Andrew Martin is not feeling quite himself. Food sickens him. Clothes confound him. Even his loving wife and teenage son are repulsive to him. He feels lost amongst an alien species and hates everyone on the planet. Everyone, that is, except Newton, (and he's a dog).

Who is he really? And what could make someone change their mind about the human race?©2020 Matt Haig (P)2020 Canongate Books Ltd Science Fiction Fiction Funny Feel-Good Heartfelt Thought-Provoking Witty

Just excellent! Especially for those struggling with their faith in humanity. A much needed tale recognizing the ugliness and terrible things of humanity but then leading the reader/listener to find astounding beauty shining through the cracks of human fallibility and mortality.

Funny, sad, beautiful, uplifting

..... and I almost returned the book. But I'm glad I stuck with it, this is a really thought provoking story, which I will return to soon.

The start was a bit odd.....

I downloaded this book after finishing the Midnight Library so had high expectations for this book. It was humorous in parts but half way through I knew that this wasn’t really my cup of tea. I do however enjoy looking at life through Matt Haig’s perspective. If only more humans did.

Preferred The Midnight Library

Having read The Midnight Library and loved it I simply had to read another Matt Haig book. This was good but didn't quite live up to the earlier piece, would I recommend it....I'm not so sure I would.

A uniquely put together narrative
