edit data

Lee Prescott was born in Liverpool, England, at the height of Beatlemania. Much to his disappointment, being unrelated to any of the Fab Four (DNA test pending), he found himself having to be educated and gain employment status, achieving the former at the Universities of Leeds and Strathclyde and the latter through a quarter of a century working in information technology. While not aimlessly wandering around the world’s mountainous regions, Lee lives in Glasgow, Scotland, with his family.

I can see why this one is oft cited as the book that best captures the spirit of the 80s. It does that with all of the ugliness of the 'greed is good' set. I think it has stood the test of time well in that regard and is a clever satire of the time. ...more

Entertaining thriller set in the world of music. The ending is a bit Hollywood and detracts from the overall quality of this one, which is very good.
