Tales of the Savoy: Stories from a Glasgow Café

Rating:
Summary: Maybe a 5 star if you are Glaswegian
Review: Each chapter is a character study of some person known to the owner of the diner the Savoy, which the writer tells in a workmanlike fashion, but the writing is below average. The chapetrs seem to have been written some time apart, as there is a lot of unnecessary repetition. A native of Glasgow might find fond memories in the tales, but in terms of background study for a trip to Glasgow, or for just interesting reading, this falls way short.

Rating:
Summary: A rerr read!
Review: This is a must-read for anyone who grew up in Glasgow or "Doon the Watter" in the 1940's and 50's when Tally shops sold the best fish 'n' chips and ice-cream! What a trip down memory lane - the characters are all so familiar.
