I couldn't put it down... insightful, inspiring and laugh-out-loud funny! -- Michael McIntyre This book is that rare thing - something that actually makes me WANT to run another marathon. Utterly joyous! -- Bryony Gordon The funniest book about running I have ever read. In fact it is the only book about running I have ever read, but it is HILARIOUS! -- David Walliams Enjoyed it enormously. Pain. Hope. Misery. Joy. All the big stuff. Excellent. -- Dara Ó Briain What a brilliant, funny and above all, inspiring book. I read it in three days flat. I literally raced through it as though running alongside Paul. -- Tim Vine This book is funny (which I expected) and concerns running (ditto), but it is also exceptionally moving and profound. Don't be fooled: it's not really about completing a marathon. It's about life and all its joy and weirdness. Recommended to all, even those who jog no further than the fridge. -- Miranda Sawyer Funny and captivating, even persuasive. A book that memorably and joyously illustrates how we can find our escape and ourselves by switching off from the rest of the world that actually switches us on. -- Robin Ince Excellent... Extremely talented. Brilliant. * Time Out * Very good book... very funny, very insightful, very inspiring -- Chris Evans * Virgin Radio * Fabulous book -- OJ Borg * Radio 2 * You dont have to be a runner to enjoy 26.2 Miles to Happiness * The Scotsman * Hilarious * Daily Mail * The best book about running I have read -- Nick Cohen * The Critic *
