Are We Nearly There Yet?
Are We Nearly There Yet? by Ben Hatch

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Very enjoyable tale of a family’s trip round Britain. Ben is commissioned to write a travel guide about travelling round Britain with children, so he and his wife set off for three
months with their two young kids Phoebe (4) and Charlie (2). The sections about the places they visit are interesting but what really gives this book staying power is the family bonding that takes place, and the things that happen while they’re away including Ben’s father’s illness and subsequent death.

Would have scored 4 but I was distracted a fair bit by the number of typos and the formatting (this was on Kindle) as lines kept dropping now and then. Shame – but still well worth reading.
