What an awful book. This book is possibly the worst that I have ever read.
It is so long winde I just couldn’t connect to it.

I'll Die After Bingo is a ...... erm..... well, it's...... oh, I don't know what it is. And I really think the author of this book doesn't know what it wants to be. It's subtitled as a story of a decade as a Care Home Assistant but it seems to be stuck in this really disjointed state of being part academic and part memoir. One second I'm reading a funny memoir about an elderly man reminiscing about a time when he seduced a random woman and 'fucked her up the arse' and the next second I'm reading about hierarchical structures and the distribution of power and autonomy in the care system. It just reads weird and doesn't flow. I do get what the author is trying to do but it just doesn't work. I don't think it's possible to have a black comedic view of healthcare, aka Adam Kay, and at the same time discuss an intelligent in depth analysis of the system.
I've seen other reviews state that the book is in poor taste but that didn't bother me at all. I think most people who have or do work in the healthcare system have experienced similar things and thoughts.... hopefully. Fingers crossed I'm not just outing myself here ha ha ha.....
I think if I'd have read just the memoir side of things then it would have been 4 or 5 stars. And similarly, if I'd read just the academic bits it would probably have been rated higher. But unfortunately they just didn't blend well and it really affected the reading experience.

Many thanx to NetGalley, the publishers and the author for allowing to read and review this book.

Looked forward to reading a little lighter read than normal but found this uninteresting and not in great taste regarding the persons he cared for! We can all have a snigger and laugh but remember that this stage in life will come to most of us and we will then need to be carerd for!

Sorry, couldn't summon enough interest to finish the book.

This book is a collection of stories by a care worker in an elderly home. The author is also a standup comic. I found the whole tone of the book distasteful, this seems to be someone that resents care work and sneers at the people who work there or require care.
