Not A Games Person - Tapa blanda

Críticas

A wonderfully slim, toned book by the naturally and metaphorically lean Julie Myerson. (Ian Sansom Guardian)

The adult Myerson coaxes memories from her younger self, and the result as a gentle, subtle quality that makes this a light, yet thoughtful, read. (Sarah Vine The Times)

An engaging study of fear and confidence in the game of life. (Lisa Gee Independent)

The pictures she paints ... are so tangible you can almost feel the stinging cold of the wind whipping across a sports field and smell the unforgettable odour of school changing rooms. (Birmingham Post)

I identified with [it] utterly (Jacqueline Wilson)

Reseña del editor

PE. You either loved it or hated it, looked forward to it or dreaded it, but we've all been forced to do it. Sometimes a note could get you out of it, but the following week there you'd be again, writhing on a cold and dusty gym floor in your underwear.

Skinny, timid, knock-kneed Julie Myerson was 'not a games person', according to her teachers. In this touching, funny and occasionally devastating exploration of her childhood, she now asks the question: why not?
