2007-11-18 Colourful and hilarious

Tarquins account of a year in Brick Lane was truley colourful. His written account drew the reader into his world and time. Emotional aspect from his own personal life complicated his moments of hardship with some of the characters he came across. His adventure and exploration of the area really captures the reader and entices one to go and find out for themselves of some of the intricare experiences he mentions. My favouritie charachter has to be Mr Ali, his quotes are legendary. A Bangladeshi who is more cockney then cockney's themselves. Imagine a man who wears a mosque hat who goes to the Old Vic!! Each charachter has their own story and account and how they affected Tarquin. The charahcters are turely colourful and the book makes a fantastic read which people can relate to.
