a fantastic story

The comedy is original and genuinely funny, I have laughed out loud many times reading this book. But the story and the plot are also really engaging. The opening two or three chapters seem quite character-dense but they all soon come to life and there is no padding, filling or wasted time reading unnecessary stuff. There is a real feel for Blackpool in the 80's (when it is set) and the story just flies along right up to the finale, the climax. There's tension, drama, twists and lots of laughs. A really well written, funny and engrossing book that I shall read again.
