Four Stars - A Life. Reviewed.

The second book from acclaimed writer and journalist Joel Golby ''There''s no one funnier than Joel Golby'' GREG JAMES ''I love this book'' DOLLY ALDERTON How much of your life do you review? Books, TV, film, music - the reviewable things? Ever tried going a little further, reviewing the intangibles, the abstract, the ''weird'': a houseplant; the sunlight on the pavement on a crisp spring day; being embarrassed; that strange wave you do at cars when they slow down at zebra crossings. A dead houseplant. From almond croissants to the concept of life itself , Joel Golby embarks on a journey through modern living, leaving no stone unturned - no one thing unreviewed - to consider what it all really means; why we all care so much about opinions; and whether, deep down, it''s better to live a life that''s good rather than, well, five stars out of five.
