Book Review - The Last Family in England by Matt Haig

The last family in England live in a world where the dogs, cats and squirrels all talk to one another. What is more they understand everything we humans say. But we don't understand them, except when we are completely plastered, in which case we have forgotten all about it the following day.Prince is the young Labrador, eager to learn everything from his earnest mentor the older dog, Henry. He preaches the Labrador code. Look after the family for the family is everything. Yet as you might expect all is not as it might seem, and soon Prince is making decisions that he might not have made for himself, decisions that will come back to haunt him.This book made me laugh out loud several times and any book that can do that, is all right in my book. But there is also sadness there as you might expect. Along the way there is a little nod in the direction of Animal Farm as the pace rattles along relentlessly. In some ways it is a children's book but definitely not for children, its co
lourful language dictates that, as does the story line.I found it a very easy book to read, though it is 340 pages, and finished it in a matter of days. Tackling the Last Family in England was well worth the effort, I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good and quick read, and hoping to find moments of humour.The Last Family in England.By Matt HaigISBN: 009946845X
