    About this ebook

    Meet Tom Ripple, a man with an uncommon outlook on his common life. Through the vividness of his voice and his growing sense of the sorrow and absurdity of the world, Tom Ripple becomes an unusually appealing antihero, aware of his ordinariness and the limits of his intelligence, with a ribald sense of humor, and a clumsiness in his attempts at emotional connection with others. He is a bewildered everyman navigating his way through modern times.

    By turns poignant, funny, heartbreaking, and profound, It's All Right Now is a towering achievement and a singular work of the imagination.

      A big chunk of a book at almost 700 pages. The ordinary life of an ordinary man. Told in great detail. But with musings on life and its events. It should be boring but it's not. It's amusing and it makes you think. You are just as ordinary, what would you have done in the circumstances? What would you have thought. The author has the cheek to write himself into his novel as a walk on part. Just like Alfred Hitchcock used to do in his films.
