I loved it so much I read it in one fell swoop. Fantatically funny but also so touching

Every person I know is going to love this book. I can’t imagine anyone reading this book and not being in love with it. He is incomparable in terms of his voice and observational lens… No one writes about the incidentals and the characteristics of British life better than him

This is (very, very) funny, but it's also a story about brothers and families and home, and it's as warm as it is rude

The funniest book of the year. Disclaimer: may induce hysteria.

Hilarious ... a touching take on modern masculinity and family

Really funny, and ultimately very touching

The book is a fun, witty, boisterous look at what it means to be a brother, to share that history and to make memories. And it’s a nice break from the ‘traditional’ biographic fare, although I suspect its greatest appeal will be, naturally, for brothers.

Packed with hilarious stories but… also a touching take on modern masculinity and family

A memoir focusing on fraternal ties, it is an unconventionally uproarious take on what it is like to have a brother whom you love, but, oddly, have absolutely nothing in common with

Stuart Heritage got where he is today by being decent, thoughtful, hardworking and kind. He is, in short, a model citizen. The favourite son. 
 
His younger brother Pete is quick-tempered, peevish and aggressively pig-headed and, for a while, known to his friends as 'Shagger'. 
 
But now, Stu has returned to his hometown to discover that Pete has taken his place. 
 
Don’t Be A Dick, Pete is a hilarious examination of home and family; sons, fathers, fatherhood, sibling relationships and how hard it is to move on in a system that’s loaded with several decades of preconceived ideas about you.
