King Of Camberwell (The Adams Family, #3) Reviews


  • Mela

    I could just paste here
    my review of
    Our Emily: Adams Family Saga, the previous book of the Adams Family Saga.

    "King Of Camberwell" is written in the same way. I have funny and amusing time during reading it.

    I am glad how went a story of Sammy and Susie. Others plots made the novel entertaining. You have an interesting historical background and facts. And of course you have a family atmosphere.

  • Orinoco Womble (tidy bag and all)

    After you read a few of these you know what to expect: an urban, period episode of The Archers.
    Someone gets engaged and/or married
    Someone gets pregnant and/or gives birth
    All the non-Adams female characters salivate over Boots and/or Sammy
    There's a mild mystery that brushes against Clan Adams but doesn't really affect them
    There's some mild trouble that does affect Clan Adams but all turns out right in the end
    Their Jewish "friends" (business contacts) stump up any money or machinery or transport they need
    It all ends with a wedding or birth, smiles all round, and a nicecuppertea.
    That said, it was a mild, pleasant read for the end of summer, though more anodyne than most.

  • Lynn Smith

    King Of Camberwell" is written in the same vein of Down Lambeth Way and Our Emily . It gives an interesting historical background of a social history of the everyday Londoner during the First World War years as well as a great family atmosphere and comic moments. I also liked the developing romance of Sammy and Susie. Other plots including Polly Simms continue to make the novel entertaining as well as providing relationship tensions for Boots and Emily.

  • Alice Kingsbury

    I love this book about the Adams family, a Cockney family in a poor part of London after World War 1. This is part of a whole series that covers several decades. The characters are great and I wish our library had these books!
