This book rocks. Hard-boiled dialogue, a story that can only end one way, the birth of a new world, great artworks.

Vegas by John Gregory Dunne

It’s fine - like watching a fun summer film. Enjoyable at the time but no need to ever revisit.
The premise is interesting - a reporter in a mental slump moves to Vegas. He tells the story through the eyes of the failing comic, the prostitutes and a

The Wilt Alternative by Tom Sharpe

Second-rate Sharpe. The first third is aimless, the main joke about the home-made film being too unrealistic to be funny.

The Life and Death of Peter Sellers by Roger Lewis
Rate this book
Clear rating
What a fantastic approach to a biography. A prose that’s interesting. And the authour revels in finding him evil, a comic genius but a recognizably shitty person and father.

The violence and the nihilism of the old west, a hell where wraiths wander.
As usual it’s exceptionally violent, in grotesque ways. But it’s not gratuitous - this is part of the story he’s telling. The bloodshed, the torture is described in graphic d

M by Antonio Scurati

A fantastic book. Muscular writing. Fascinating to write through the eyes of Mussolini. It shows the excitement of the beginnings of fascism, the adventure, the love of violence for the sake of violence, how many Italians went to fascism over fears o ...more
