Where Did It All Go Right? Summary

Where Did It All Go Right?: Growing Up Normal in the 70s by Andrew Collins

Andrew Collins was born 37 years ago in Northampton. His parents never split up, in fact they rarely exchanged a cross word. No-one abused him. Nobody died. He got on well with his brother and sister and none of his friends drowned in a canal. He has never stayed overnight in a hospital and has no emotional scars from his upbringing, except a slight lingering resentment that Anita Barker once mocked the stabilisers on his bike. Where Did It All Go Right? is a jealous memoir written by someone who occasionally wishes life had dealt him a few more juicy marketable blows. The author delves back into his first 18 years in search of something - anything - that might have left him deeply and irreparably damaged. With tales of bikes, telly, sweets, good health, domestic harmony and happy holidays, Andrew aims to bring a little hope to all those out there living with the emotional after-effects of a really nice childhood. Andrew Collins kept a diary from the age of five, so he really can remember what he had for tea everyday and what he did at school, excerpts from his diary run throughout the book and it is this detail which makes his story so compelling.

This is a book to indulge in, the literary equivalent of Horlicks before bed, guaranteed to leave you feeling all warm inside * The Observer *
A lovely tongue-in-cheek memoir...a wonderful antidote to all those tales of childhood woe pouring from the presses; read and enjoy * Publishing News *
A welcome visitor into any home that houses a Nick Hornby or a Tony Parsons. * Glasgow Herald *
An unashamed nostalgia fest . . . comic gold. * Time Out *
Warm moments . . . thanks to the author's grasp of the anecdote. * Word *
