Being a musician, I can relate to many of his stories, some hilarious and some tragic but a great read with a very Australian bent. Clive Carter (Musician with Bohemian Rogue)

Stephen's writing is easy to read and flows well. I enjoyed his reminiscences about the elderly members of the bowls club which nearly brought me to tears. Fantastic stories. Brian McGrane (policy writer)

I was amazed at how many jobs Stephen has had over the years. Most people never have more than one or two in a lifetime and it makes me think that he took risks which a lot of people wouldn't. Good on him for at least trying to find what he was good at and now it seems he is quite a good writer too. I recommend some of my younger clients to read this as a motivation to 'have a go' when applying for jobs. Isabella Jones (Recruitment Executive)
