Reviews

[N · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lots of humour and very well written indeed. Tempted by the 4 star rating as the footballer plot jarred slightly - struggled with the idea of a Scunthorpe player as international star and some of the phrasing such as shortening Leyton Orient to Leyton, "unblemished league penalty record" (?) suggested a lack of knowledge which made me question the authenticity of other elements. In the end, I decided these were minor details compared with the enjoyment I derived from the first book I'd read in months. Would really recommend this.

An excellent farce set in a small town in Vietnam. Many disparate strands of plot are juggled and the outcome knits them all together nicely. Recommended. Plus I'm always a sucker for hard-living monkeys.

Such a crazy, fast-paced amusing book! Lots of black humor, farces, wild characters and absurd situations (even talking monkeys!). Marx Brothers meet Dr. Siri.
