Doctor's Orders read The B ook - By: Lynne Cameron, 11 Oct 2008 
I have just started reading this book, what a great read. Alan Titchmarsh can write very well. I love the characters & the story & I have guessed how it will go. I can't put this book down either i am on chapter 13 alreadyin two days & can't wait to see how the rest of the story goes. Well written Mr Titchmarsh i think this would do excellent as a film or play & certainly a sequel would bein order here
Desperation - By: A. Roberton, 05 Oct 2008 I must admit to not choosing this book, it was just there,in hospital, on the table. Visiting a relative I had to waiting for the doctor to 'do his thing' & so I have a few minutes to spare.
So I picked up this book & began to read, & read. Such an easy read, but also a 'nice' read, if you know what I mean. Good story, good characters, all nice & gentle, just what I needed. Once started it became difficult to stop, but stop I had to. Out the hospital & to the shops to buy this book, yes that's how it grabbed me - one of those books where you 'need' to know what eventually happens.
Don't look for complicated plots or complex characters, instead enjoy a really good honest book written by good old Titch.
Do I recommend it? You bet I do.
Lightweight but amusing - By: LindyLouMac, 25 May 2008 
Two sessions & this rather trite little mystery romance by one of the UK's favourite gardeners was finished. This one did not really appeal to me very much. Although I have read all of Alan Titchmarsh's novels I have to admit they only catch my attention because of his television fame...sorry Alan.
This predictable tale takes as its protagonists three middle aged men, Tiger Wilson, Dr Christopher Devon & Gary Flynn. The title I felt did not fit very well as the story gives all three men a little love interest & intriguein their lives, not just Dr Devon.
Somehow between them they stumble on a local mystery loosely connected by a Chinese man & Dr Devon's concerns about the local GP practice.
A lightweight amusing novel. Though I prefer his work as a gardener & TV personality.
Fab read - By: Book Bug, 02 Nov 2007 
This was the first AT novel I have read & was not disappointed. It was great to "see" a story through a chappies eyes for a change - a fantastic read for lounging around the pool on holiday - not sure which I didn't want to end the most. Fab book - now to pick the next one.
A brilliant story - By: Mrs. L. E. Ford, 31 Aug 2007 This is the first Alan Titchmarsh book I've read & I was not disappointed. I started reading it whilst on sick leave after a nasty fall & it jollied me up no end. I liked Alan's characters very much & felt I was living amongst them for the duration of the story. If you want a pleasant read, with humour, romance & an underlying mystery, then this book certainly fits the bill. Like another reader, I too would like to see a sequel to Love & Dr Devon. Alan's stories would make a nice series of gentle plays for the TV. I am now longing to read another of Alan's books, but which one to choose.....hmm.
