  I thoroughly enjoyed reading 'A Boy Named Tigger' and it kept my attention throughout. Even though there were sensitive aspects to Tigger's adoption you felt like you really followed his journey and his determination in life to succeed. It is a lovely quality book with good sized chapters that leave you looking forward to reading more. Michael should be very proud of his achievement of publishing this book and I would highly recommend it.

• Christine Broomfield

  Excellent book would definitely recommend it, had a job to put it down
  What a roller coaster life Tigger had….. laughter fun and many sad time with tears.
  I could relate to many of the places and people, some I remember, some I had forgotten, like Goring Hall being a school and its now a hospital.
  I have now past it the book onto my husband to read
  I wish Mike every success with this book, for me I thoroughly enjoyed it

  I have known and been friends with the author for many years and heard many interesting (and sometimes upsetting ) snippets of things that had happened to him whilst he was an adopted child. Reading his book(twice now) made me realise just how much his upbringing had shaped his life and helped me to understand the "Mike " that l know today. This is a book that l will return to read again and again. Well done dear friend!

  I thoroughly enjoyed reading your book, it's well written with a flow that was easy to follow. Your description of places and people was very adept. You have survived extremely well a very difficult childhood. I'm sure anyone reading your book whether adopted or not will really enjoy this very good read.

  I took the book on holiday to read and really enjoyed it. Found it quite surreal that I was reading a book about somebody I knew so well but it turned out that I actually knew nothing!
  
  The story of your childhood was very sad in places but you managed to come back time after time and it was enthralling to read how your life progressed and how you overcame each setback and moved forward to a more positive place.
  
  Well done for writing this, I am sure it will help many people in a similar situation.

• Peter Selves

  My daughter gave me this book to read and I found it fascinating, the detail and memories took me back to when I was a child and given away to our neighbours because my dad and stepmother couldn’t afford to take me with them when they moved away.
  
  The story gives hope to all that despite a very challenging start we can all overcome and eventually live a full and happy life. Well done for witting your story.

  Great read, nice to hear one of my closest friends fathers life story, from the sad beginning with the adoption through all of life's challenges up to now. Well worth a read
