Mike a fantastic author and I have enjoyed  reading all of his back catalogue. In The Man I Think I Know I think that Mike has developed his writing style and I was entranced in the book from the first chapter and I didn't want the book to end as I really liked the characters James and Danny.

I really liked Mike's style of writing and being introduced to the character through both James and Danny's eyes. I felt like a fly on the wall observing from within. I really enjoyed reading from the points of view of someone with a brain injury, a point of view that I don't think has been widely written from but is very insightful and well done.

The storyline is one which will tug the heart strings of many readers and I recommend it to all.You may want a box of tissues at times but as a whole the book is a great read and one which has a feel good factor for all concerned.

Thank you to the publishers, Hodder and Stoughton, for inviting me to take part in the is blog tour in return for an honest review.
