Five Go On A Strategy Away Day
Five Go On A Strategy Away Day | Bruno Vincent
8 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
Enid Blyton's books are beloved the world over and The Famous Five have been the perennial favourite of her fans. Now, in this new series of Enid Blyton for Grown-Ups, George, Dick, Anne, Julian and Timmy confront a new challenge: what exactly is this puzzling scrape referred to as a 'strategy away day'? The Five have gone on their greatest adventure yet - to become an even better team! They are booked into an exciting hotel right next to the jolly motorway services, where the nice (if somewhat nervous and sweating and depressed) man teaches them a number of exercises that will make them work better. But wait! Who's been sneaking messages through the hotel dumb waiter about secret assignations? Is there a smuggler's plot afoot? Or is Shelly from Production shagging Postroom Luke? All will be revealed . . . Ideal for those who are allergic to corporate jargon and will throw a sickie before having to play a trust game with colleagues.

I got these in the sale today and can‘t wait to read them! I read ‘Five on Brexit Island‘ a while ago and it was absolutely hilarious.

The Famous (or is it Fatuous) Five go on a strategy away day featuring competitive team building exercises in order to ideate, move forward and create synergy. Will they get through the day without murdering each other? How long will Julian's hangover last? And can they get one up on the Secret Seven?

I enjoyed Five on Brexit Island but I loved this! It was laugh out loud funny and I'd recommend it to all corporate away day survivors! #sbksept

Okay Littens, here it is, my 2018 #sbksept TBR! Some books were on my 2017 TBR but I have a few new ones too! Plenty of choice - what do you think I should start with? What should I make sure to read this time around? If you want to join in with Short Books September just grab some short books (under 250 pages) from your shelves, share a picture and start reading! More info (and a funny video) at the link in my profile.

This ticked the nostalgia box for me, as well as giving me a modern laugh. A short but perceptive story about team building exercises was funny, at times vivacious and very current. While Vincent presents the frustrations I expect anyone who had been on this kind of event has felt, the humour was heightened by its presentation through the "Famous Five". Vincent has done a solid job of updating the characters and capturing the voice. A good laugh.
