About the author

Niall Griffiths was born in Liverpool to a Welsh/Irish/Romany lineage. He’s been a labourer, a barman, a server of fish and chips, a burglar, a farmhand, a tree feller, a factory worker and many other things too tedious to relate. Now, he’s a full-time writer, living at the foot of a mountain in mid-Wales, with seven novels published, several works of non-fiction and more short stories and radio plays and travel pieces and reviews than he cares to, or possibly even can, count. His fourth novel, Stump, won the Wales Book of the Year Award. A film adaptation of his third novel, Kelly+Victor, won a BAFTA. He’s now working on the screenplay for his sixth, Wreckage. His latest novel is Broken Ghost.

Reviews

[Jorgon · Rating 3 out of 5]

A funny short tale of lowlives, betrayal, drugs and black humour set between London and Wales. The lack of a single likeable character makes it quite entertaining, but rather slight. To be read on public transit in less than an hour.

[Huckle · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is almost identical to 'Stump', also written by Niall Griffiths... Just not in so many words/pages. It's a quick read that can entertain you on a train-journey, other than that... I was pretty disappointed. The story-line is rather weak and basic...

If you like your humour dark and menacing this story is for you. It takes an hour to read so would be perfect for the train or a commute. I felt the story was straining for a novella or a novel and felt a bit unsatisfied at the end but it serves its purpose as a 'quick read'.

I was disappointed to find after downloading this from my local library that this was a quick read, only 32 pages! I love to read and get to know the characters from the book. This was probably a really good story had it been told over a longer book.

[Warren Shan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pretty ordinary by Niall's standards, but much easier to read than his usual fare. Liked the twist at the end, but the middle was not much of a ride.
