Histoire
'Between the Stops is a sort of a memoir, my sort. It's about a bus trip really, because it's my view from the Number 12 bus (mostly top deck, the seat at the front on the right), a double-decker that plies its way from Dulwich, in South East London, where I was living, to where I sometimes work - at the BBC, in the heart of the capital. It's not a sensible way to write a memoir at all, probably, but it's the way things pop into your head as you travel, so it's my way'.

Histoire
This is a self help-book like no other. Because you are not helping yourself, James Acaster is helping you. When James quit all forms of social media in 2019 he felt like he'd been born anew, but he was worried he'd suffer withdrawal and get lured back online to compete in a never ending popularity contest with only one possible winner (f--king Zuckerberg). He knew that in order to stay clean he'd have to replace everything social media used to give him with three-dimensional real-life activities.

Histoire
Where do comedians come from? Why is it that one person is a funny bloke down the pub while another actually makes a living by standing up in front of an audience telling jokes? And where does all that material come from? Well, young Lee McKillop used to wonder that too. Growing up in his parents’ pub, small and wiry in a world of bigger and chunkier specimens, Lee quickly learned that cracking jokes was a way to get attention.

Histoire
Why is every film or tv programme a sequel or a remake? Why are people so f***ing hung up about swearing? Why do the asterisks in that sentence make it okay? Why do so many people want to stop other people doing things, and how can they be stopped from stopping them? These and many other questions trouble David Mitchell. Join him on a tour of the absurdities of modern life - from Ryanair to Richard III, Downton Abbey to phone etiquette, UKIP to hot dogs made of cats.

Description
The story of a life built on sand. In the rain.
In this compelling memoir, comedian and actor Alan Davies recalls his boyhood with vivid insight and devastating humour. Shifting between his 1970s upbringing and his life today, Davies moves poignantly from innocence to experience to the clarity of hindsight, always with a keen sense of the absurd.
From sibling dynamics, to his voiceless, misunderstood progression through school, sexuality and humiliating 'accidents', Davies inhabits his younger mind with spectacular accuracy, sharply evoking an era when Green Shield Stamps, Bob-a-Job week and Whizzer & Chips loomed large, a bus fare was 2p - and children had little power in the face of adult motivation. Here, there are often exquisitely tender recollections of the mother he lost at six years old, of a bereaved family struggling to find its way, and the kicks and confusion of adolescence.
Through even the joyous and innocent memories, the pain of Davies' lifelong grief and profound betrayal is unfiltered, searing and beautifully articulated. Just Ignore Him is not only an autobiography, it is a testament to a survivor's resilience and courage.

Heartwrenching story, beautifully written and read
It was a privilege to hear Alan Davies' read his own words. Sprinkled with dark humour befitting the dark story of his childhood experiences. This is a book worth both reading and hearing, and I recommend both paper and audio versions unreservedly. Carefully crafted prose bristling with emotion. Great insights into the difficulty of accessing memories. Avoids bathos and melodrama while making clear the damage done by a person in a position of trust who could not be trusted. My heart went out to the boy Alan was, and the man he is..

Heartbreakingly and beautifully written
I could not stop listening, which I guess is the audiobook version of “I could not put it down.”
There is humour, sadness, compassion, and clarity all wrapped up in this story of a little boy who just wanted to be seen and loved. There were times I wished I could reach into the past and give that little boy a hug, and listen to what he had to say.
I enjoy Alan Davies as a comedian/actor and while I had a heads up of what this book is about I was not prepared for his prose - which I now account as some of the best I have read (or heard) in quite awhile. I do hope he considers writing more, and not necessarily autobiographical either. It would be interesting to read fiction written by him too.
All the stars. 11/10 would recommend.

Undeniably Heartbreaking
Throughout this entire book, I wish I could reach back in time and save this little boy from a monster who was not unlike my own maternal grandfather, from what I’ve been told. This book will rip your heart out. The author’s comedic talents are second to none. He’s one of my favourite comedians, and now I have an entirely new appreciation for his character, his strength, and his perseverance.

Honest, introspective & raw
Wonderful read. I could listen to his voice for hours… i did! Perhaps next time he can read the phone book So i could get some sleep… I’d pay for that 🤗
Couldn’t put it down! Charming, touching and cathartic… can’t ignore him.

You cant ignore his story.
I loved this book, especially the audio version. i dont believe this story would have been as powerful without Alan's voice itself. it is very well written, articulate and emotional. Thank you for breaking the silence.

I couldn’t take anymore
Oh Alan, this is too heartbreaking. I stopped, I had to. The injustice , the cruelty, it explains a lot to me about you, but I cannot listen to anymore. It’s good you told it, you had to finally. But I always hope that people understand children, and what life offers to them in the beginning is everything- the most important time. I cannot listen to anymore abuse. This abuse breaks my heart, takes me down, and makes me feel so so sad, sorry, upset. I had to stop. I wish he had a chance at a new childhood. He deserves better, as do all children. I cannot give stars, even though I know it’s important… but I don’t want to recommend that anyone listens to this abuse. It had to be said, and he said it well, but we need to stop.
