Description

THE REMARKABLE TRUE STORY OF QUIZZING SENSATION JAY FLYNN: NOW A SUNDAY TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLER!

Readers have been LOVING The Quizmaster:
'I read this in one sitting . . . I cried, laughed and hugged my Kindle!!'
'Absolutely incredible read. We have followed Jay since the first quiz right up to now and I honestly cannot believe how truly remarkable he is after reading more about his story . . . If you are looking for a real page turner that you just can't put down you've found it here with this book. Cannot recommend highly enough.'
'What an amazing but at times difficult read, Jay has really put his heart on the line in his autobiography, a very brave thing to do.'

-------------------

Jay Flynn was down on his luck when the Covid pandemic struck. He had just lost the tenancy of the pub he ran in Lancashire - and with it the loyal community of locals who loved his quirky weekly quiz.

As the world closed down, he sensed the quiz could now be a lifeline both for him and the locals - so he sent them invites to an online version. But he had forgotten to mark the event 'private', and on the night, a disbelieving Jay played quizmaster to half a million teams, from Kenya to Canada, New Zealand to the Ukraine. This was to be the start of a global online quiz sensation, earning more than GBP1 million for charity and Jay an MBE, as well as his own slot on Zoe Ball's BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show.

It was all the more incredible because, as a lost and troubled young man, Jay had spent two years homeless, sleeping on a bench on the Embankment in London, almost taking his own life. Rescued by a homeless charity, he'd learnt how a simple community can save lives. It proved a priceless lesson.

Now, in his inspiring memoir, Jay shows how, sometimes, you can find the answers you're seeking in the most unexpected places.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
