“In Fighting the Effects of Gravity, James Robinson takes us on a journey through his own experiences with middle-age. From the saggy-bottomed horrors that partner the onset of those middle years, through to the morbid but epiphanic realizations that the final stage of life is just around the corner. It is a very humorous narrative on the physical changes that the human body experiences, as everything — from fading eyesight, creaking joints and sagging muscles — succumbs to the stresses of a life spent upright. James offers a very witty commentary on a number of ailments and experiences, summing up his statements with a witty insight.” –Paul Aitken, Amazon.co.uk
