I must say at first i really wasnt expecting much from this album, i mean i didnt think it was going to be rubbish or i wouldnt have brought it!. I first thought about buying it after listening to some album tracks on the radio, good up-tempo, party tracks. So i brought it (did get it at a bargin price though!)
The first time i listened to the album 'Lost and Found' i really wasnt feeling it, maybe because i was expecting alot more or something, so after the first listen i put it away and didnt listen to it again untill couple of days later. And much to my suprise i loved the tracks after listening to it the second time round, which i did find to be abit weird..so this album is definately a Grower, if u decide to buy it (which i do recomend) then give it time..because it will definately grow on you!.

I was lucky enough to read this first some years ago, before the "Bryson boom", and so had no preconceptions of what the author's work was like. I'm actually quite grateful for that, too, since otherwise I might not have had such a nice surprise!
In essence, this book is a travelogue, following in Bryson's wheeltracks as he drives vast distances around the country of his birth in his mother's less-than-reliable old car: at one point it breaks down on a lonely, snowy mountain pass and you wonder just for a moment whether Bryson ...
Advantages: Unique, Quirky, Adorable book Disadvantages: Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!
can't be stopped.
Some of you will have read my gushing review of Oliver Jeffer's 'How to Catch a Star'. Those of you that did will know how impressed I was with not only his writing style but also his gorgeous and unique illustrations. Finding his award winning Lost and Found staring back at me from the WHSmith bookshelf was all the excuse I needed to buy another book for Kyle - well, it was one of three I just HAD to have!
