The Laying on of Hands: Stories by Alan Bennett

Alan Bennett is playwright and screenwriter that has done quite a bit for BBC and most notably wrote ‘The Madness of King George’ which won him an Academy Award.

This was an odd little book.  It consists of three short stories. The writing was amusing and witty; however, when done reading there was nothing there.  I could see no purpose to or lesson to be learned from the writing.  The stories were just there, no plot.  Not worth it.
