His honest if self-deprecating tone is at times hilarious and at times piteously moving. His detailed descriptions of his writing process and his philosophy of writing as work rather than art are fascinating. Fans of Trollope will enjoy learning the man's perceptions of his novels' shortcomings and triumphs. Anyone will appreciate learning about his years devoted to churning out literature for profit while working full time with the post office. (Summary by JessicaLouise)

Wonderful

This autobiography contains wonderful prose that is pleasing to the ear and well suited to an audio format. The reader does a lovely job. This has really enlivened and enriched my morning and afternoon commute.
