Book review: Get Her Off The Pitch!
Get Her Off The Pitch! by Lynne Truss is published by Fourth Estate Ltd, priced £12.99
Utterly hilarious! I was laughing out loud before I'd even finished the first page.
Before becoming an international best-selling author of the hit book Eats, Shoots & Leaves, Lynne Truss spent four years as a sports journalist. She hadn't planned to. She was in her 40s and had no interest in sport when she found herself the subject of an "experiment" at the hands of The Times sports editors.
Full of eye-opening encounters with the greats, and ever-amusing tales of winging it, her honest and shameless account is joyfully addictive. A must-read for anybody who's ever felt like a fish out of water at work.
