A proposito di questo titolo
Bloomsbury presents 26.2 Miles to Happiness written and read by Paul Tonkinson.

WINNER OF THE TELEGRAPH SPORTS BOOK AWARDS 2021 – SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT BOOK OF THE YEAR

The hilarious trials and tribulations of stand-up comedian Paul Tonkinson as he attempts to beat the much lauded 3-hour mark at the London Marathon.

Along the way, we are introduced to the characters helping Paul with his quest. Celebrity names such as Bryony Gordon, Russell Howard, Roisin Conaty and Vassos Alexander pop up with wit and wisdom, alongside an alpine adventure to the Mayr Clinic with Michael McIntyre that pushes Paul to the limit. And not forgetting the ‘words of wisdom’ and derision from Paul’s anti-running friend, Richard.

With a supporting cast of fellow comedians, this is a warmly written and wonderfully honest adventure-through-sport that will both entertain and inspire.©2020 Paul Tonkinson (P)2020 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Recensioni della critica

I couldn't put it down... insightful, inspiring and laugh-out-loud funny! (Michael McIntyre)
This book is that rare thing - something that actually makes me WANT to run another marathon. Utterly joyous! (Bryony Gordon)
Enjoyed it enormously. Pain. Hope. Misery. Joy. All the big stuff. Excellent. (Dara Ó Briain)
What a brilliant, funny and above all, inspiring book. I read it in three days flat. I literally raced through it as though running alongside Paul. (Tim Vine)
This book is funny (which I expected) and concerns running (ditto), but it is also exceptionally moving and profound. Don't be fooled: it's not really about completing a marathon. It's about life and all its joy and weirdness. Recommended to all, even those who jog no further than the fridge. (Miranda Sawyer)
Funny and captivating, even persuasive. A book that memorably and joyously illustrates how we can find our escape and ourselves by switching off from the rest of the world that actually switches us on. (Robin Ince)
Excellent... Extremely talented. Brilliant.
Very good book... very funny, very insightful, very inspiring (Chris Evans)
Fabulous book (OJ Borg)
You don’t have to be a runner to enjoy 26.2 Miles to Happiness
Hilarious
The best book about running I have read (Nick Cohen)
