Oh my giddy aunt! One of those books I just want to shout about from the roof tops. Honestly, I'm sat here wondering why you are sat reading my thoughts on the book when you could be reading it for yourself.
Told mainly through the eyes of Callum, a child who is to be interviewed by Mr 'Michael' Lamb as part of the qualitive research module of his PhD; a child who as Mr Lamb's tutor explains is 'a proper tearaway who gets thrown out of class on a daily basis' but one who nevertheless has 'a great story to tell about boy-girl friendships', this is a 'love story' the likes of which I've never come across before.
Funny and sad but most of all moving, I can, hand on heart, say that The Greatest Love Story Ever Told, beautiful in its simplicity, touched me in a way that no book has done for a long, long time; I defy you to read it and not fall in love with Callum and Angel Rain.
I loved the 'interviews' between Callum and Mr Lamb. To see this somewhat stiff and awkward academic learn from the chair kicking, football playing nine-year-old Callum who has been dismissed by his teacher as a slow learner and therefore hardly worth her time and effort. Thank goodness then for us teaching assistants ... I speak as one who has learnt from many a child like Callum though, unlike his Miss Hussain with the 'glittery hijab that matched the sparkles on her fingernails', I was never quite so glamorous.
I loved that whilst it was the beating heart of the story Callum and Angel Rain's was not the only 'love story' to feature; that there was also that of Mr Lamb and Nurse Ifeoma Kolawole and that of Callum and his tadpoles ... if anyone had ever told me I'd become so invested in a tank full of tadpoles I'd have laughed at them and yet, here I was, sat shedding tears over what became of the final surviving tadpole.
I loved Callum's family with its heart as big as this book and his relationship with his best friend, another child dismissed as a loser.
Oh who am I kidding?
I loved everything about the book ...
