A longtime Elton & Bernie fan, I couldn’t wait to read this book

I love the fact that Bernie, a man supremely adept with words, doesn’t disappoint by using a myriad of colourful words to explain any single event. This works well with my own byline of “Why use 5 words when there are so many more available”

Wordy it is, name-dropping abounds and, whilst there are plenty of mentions of the more flamboyant off this pairing, Bernie’s life is one of the creative man ever evolving

It will be a favourite of mine, despite the naysayers

I recommend taking the 15 hours plus to see what makes the accomplished storyteller exactly who he is - a poet, lyricist and, glorious storyteller

Highly recommended

I think this story should come with a trigger warning - some of the details regarding birth and infant death are graphic & also harrowing.

I listened right the way through despite, like many others, predicting the ending very early on

The story could have been half as long and would undoubtedly have received more favourable comments

It’s a good, plausible story but Oh so laboriously told - repetitive and, in the end, infuriating

I’ll continue to try this author’s works because I have thoroughly enjoyed their other audiobooks that I’ve listened to thus far

Helen Rolfe’s stories narrated by Karen Cass are among my favourites

Easy tales with lovable characters and engaging storylines - a great way to make the time fly when I’m on a long drive or ‘domestic duties’!

I really enjoy Holly Hepburn's stories whilst I drive the 3 ½ hours visiting family, there and back over a weekend - it's a great way to make the journeys pass so quickly - I get so involved with the characters!

There aren't really any surprises in Holly Hepburn's stories but they are still such sweet tales and Karen Cass remains a favourite reader of mine!
