Random K*k - I Remember About Growing Up In South Africa (Paperback)

Reviews

"Random Kak" by Kathi C. - 14 June 2013

I've been following Trevor Romain's blogs for years. His wonderful stories, often accompanied by his quirky illustrations, are at times hysterically funny and heart- warming and at others, heartbreakingly poignant. He never fails to touch your heart either way. When his series 'Random Kak' started to unfold week by week on Facebook, and I watched his following grow, I knew that something special was in the making. You see, I grew up where Trevor grew up and the little things about our youth that I had long forgotten, were suddenly coming to life before my eyes again. Suddenly there were so many of us  relating to, laughing about and communicating our feelings about those interesting times. I had no doubt that these posts had 'book' potential and now that I actually have Trevor's 'Random *** I remember growing up in South Africa' in my hands....I am thrilled. It does not disappoint. I found myself snuggling down with my Koffiehuis and rusks to read and reread, and flipping backwards and forwards through the pages over and over again. As an illustrated journal fan, I love the format too, it's just such fun and so refreshing. Well done Penguin books SA for choosing to publish it. 'Random Kak' is a must have on your shelf....and send it to all your overseas' family and friends too, they'll long for home!
