Just a joy. Rereading it today still felt very current, and as always I found some proper laugh out loud moments.

"Odd thing, ain't it... you meet people one at a time, they seem decent, they got brains that work, and then they get together and you hear the voice of the people. And it snarls.”

“Sergeant Colon had had a broad education. He’d been to the School of My Dad Always Said, the College of It Stands to Reason, and was now a postgraduate student at the University of What Some Bloke In the Pub Told Me.”

“Colon looked awkward, as if the bunched underwear of the past was tangling itself in the crotch of recollection.”

I enjoyed this thriller and murder mystery. It was violent, and was often sad but it was well written and kept me guessing. It had an unexpected ending.

A fun but unusual read. Written so you feel you experience the queue. And with lots of asides about politics but in clever and funny ways. A surprisingly raunchy sex scene too.

And the queue? Here's hoping they still have some left when we get to the front.....

Seriously wonderful book. Read it. Now

Another fun read in the Drunk saga

What am enjoyable read. Our hero begins in a rather unlikeable fashion despite his history which should give us some sympathy. his attitude towards women initially made me think I wouldn't like him. But a punch in the throat can change anyone...

A really exciting story with twists and turns and fun characters. Not a challenging read but a worthwhile one.

Enjoyable and informative but I felt it was missing something and could have given so much more. Nice for children maybe (though it does discus shunga) but it's very simplified so as an adult I'm just left wanting to read and see more.
