This is one of the funniest books I have read for a long time. Bernard is exactly what you would expect of a Telegraph reader & investor; and I am smiling, whilst writing, at the thought of Eunice, one of the most sympathetically drawn characters I have come across for a long time. Although intended to be humorous and taken from the column in the Investors Chronicle the characters are very real, and Bernard eventually shows his true humanity!! I hope the more secondary characters like the gay son-in-law & the demonic grandson get fuller coverage in the announced sequel "Bernard Jones & the Temple of Mammon" - John Stanbridge
Firstly, Bernard discovers that his dotty mother is sitting on a fortune in shares. And then the beautiful Astrid moves in next door.... Keith Palmer
For Bernard, life seems hardly worth living until two unrelated events bring a ray of hope to his bleak existence.
Hen-pecked by his good intentioned wife and relationship obsessed daughter, Bernard's only solace is to be found in his Hornby railway track set up in the imaginary republic of Lemon Curdistan. Here he engages in a continual guerrilla warfare, attempting to smuggle sugary snacks into his secret drawer.
More funny than money. Bernard is a cross between Basil Fawlty and Victor Meldrew. His life is made miserable by the ineptitudes of petty bureaucrats, quarrelsome neighbours, unreliable builders and his own inadaquacies in bed and on the money market.
"The funniest and most realistic book ever written about investment. Bernard Jones had me laughing out loud from the first moment his diary appeared on our pages. Thank goodness his diaries are now published in this volume - a week is too long to wait for the next instalment." - Matthew Vincent, Editor, Investors Chronicle
