Narrative Concering Books The Tent, the Bucket and Me

Growing up in the Seventies, we were on the brink of the modern age. But despite a brave new world of Casio hand-held calculators and digital watches, one thing remained the same: the family holiday. For the Seventies child, summer holidays didn't mean the joy of CentreParcs or the sophistication of a Tuscan villa. They meant being crammed into a car with Grandma and heading to the coast. With just a tent for a home and a bucket for the necessities, we would set off on new adventures each year stoically resolving to enjoy ourselves. For Emma Kennedy, and her mum and dad, disaster always came along for the ride no matter where they went. Whether it was swept away by a force ten gale on the Welsh coast or suffering copious amounts of food poisoning on a brave trip to the south of France, family holidays always left them battered and bruised. But they never gave up. Emma's memoir, The Tent, the Bucket and Me, is a painfully funny reminder of just what it was like to spend your summer holidays cold, damp but with sand between your toes.

Assess Of Books The Tent, the Bucket and Me

Absolutely brilliant! The most laugh out loud book Ive ever read... well listened to! I literally was crying listening to this story. Its written by Emma about her camping holidays in the 1070s with her parents. And they are a disaster. After the first few years I was thinking they cant continue to be troubled, oh but they were! The author does such an amazing job at bringing her misadventures to life. She is energetic and engaging in her tone. She narrates brilliantly. Emmas father is Welsh and

The Tent, the Bucket and Me I dont usually contemplate this writing my book review so early as Ive only managed to read the first three chapters! Seriously this book should come with a Health Warning: Do not attempt to wear mascara or any eye makeup whilst reading this story and ensure that you have ready to hand a constant supply of clean hankies (you will need these I promise) oh and should you suffer from a weak bladder (sorry to bring this up) I would strongly recommend you consider wearing

I laughed until I cried - repeatedly. I couldn't read this on the commuter train because I so often burst into hysterical laughter. (You definitely should read it to yourself with a British accent!)

Enough material for a pretty good twenty minute standup slot, padded out to a quite ludicrous length - I'd managed to procure myself an ex-library Large Print edition which managed to stretch the ordeal out to almost 500pp of agony.Essentially the young Emma Kennedy goes on holiday with her parents each year in the 1970s, and it's always a disaster. But not usually an actual interesting disaster, oh no; generally it'll be something like "it rained heavily all night" or "we ate some dodgy

I laughed until I could not breathe. I would have died laughing except that I wanted to finish the book.

The reviews on the cover said it was funny and I needed cheering up so I gave it a go. I laughed so hard my stomach hurt so it did the job. Makes my childhood camping trips look like stays on five star resorts!!

A fun, enjoyable book, with relentless tales of bodily excretions! Hard to believe that all those things could happen to one family.
