FOR: "Carry On Abroad gave me the best laugh I have had from a book for years. I read it on holiday in Spain and passed it around among our group. Everybody enjoyed it, particularly the scenes on the plane. I cannot wait to read the rest of the books."

- Ms. Josephine Seeger, Newham, London E15.

AGAINST: "The few and far between jokes are poorly constructed and soon become very tedious when they are repeatedly used ... There is nothing even in the slightest bit humorous, unless of course you find it amusing to read about a man's private parts being tied to his feet ... How sick - a coffin being used as a table tennis net ... I feel I have wasted both my money and my time reading the book." Richard Lennard, Horsham, West Sussex.
