Maggie Muff meets Mr Red, White and Blue when she goes for a 'back to work' interview at the Bru in place of her best chum, big Sally-Ann, who's down with a dose of the clap that she got of Tommy Dick-fingers. But when she sees him in his sexy chinos, she wants more than the bit of extra training that he has laid on. She embarks on a whirl-wind romance with him which includes visits to his room of pain where he whips the tripe outta her and massages her baps and a bonk on the top of a roofless Belfast tour bus. But can Maggie put up with gettin whalloped by Mr Red, White and Blue? Is he the man of her dreams? A Belfast comedy that will have you laughing, and laughing and then laughing some more til a wee bit of wee comes out.
This is definitely a great book to start the year reading.
It is hilarious and being from Belfast myself, the 'slang' and how it was written had e laughing the whole way through. Scarily, describing most things perfectly.
I finished this very quickly, and even read it twice in the same day. Then making my whole family read it too - each of us loving it - it's brilliant!
I would definitely recommend checking this out, especially if you are looking for a quick, funny read. But although - as with fifty shades of grey - there is a lot of sexual parts in this book!
Fifty Shades of Grey Belfast Style,it pays to be from N.I to understand this book ( would anyone who never lived here know what Lurgan Champagne is?). I read this in my best Belfast Voice and tittered throughout. Easy to read with a few giggles along the way. A great parody of THAT famous book.
Fifty Shades of Red, White & Blue is laugh out loud snortingly funny, it will have you pulling at the pages to read more! Leesa Harker has wrote an amazing novel which you won't be able to put down.
With mentionings from the twelfth, 'le bru', baps and blindfolds I think it's simple to say this will definitely keep a smile plastered on your face.
Fifty Shades of Red, White & Blue is one of my favourite novels from this year and I know Dirty Dancin' in le Shebeen is going to be even better! (If that's possible)
I think this is one of the funniest things I've read in years and (not for the first time) I feel sorry for people who don't understand Norn Irish. You are missing such a treat.
I'm not sure how long it takes to read, maybe thirty minutes, but allow for longer because the laughing takes up a brave bit of time.
What happens when you combine Bridget Jones with Molly Bloom? You get Miss Maggie Muff. Leesa Harkers' Fifty Shades parody is a delightful and hilarious read. Highly recommended for a bit of Irish fun.
I was looking forward to reading this as I was told that it was really funny but, I'm sorry... I didn't like it. This was mostly because after getting halfway through I still didn't understand a word of it! It may as well have been written in Swahili.
