It is interesting that ...I am shocked. Scandalous.<br /><br />It is interesting that this author also contributed to the DS Jack Frost series. I have not read any of those that he wrote, but I would think that they would be very different. So he must be a versatile writer. <br /><br />I will wait and see what you think of his books. My Criminal World sounds interesting from the description, but who knows.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-58462090685555309442014-06-05T14:55:26.475-07:002014-06-05T14:55:26.475-07:00OK, it's even more outrageous than I thought i...OK, it's even more outrageous than I thought it would be.

I'll approach it with an open mind, but will have your thoughts lurking nearby. I think I prefer books when there's a marmite reaction to them as opposed to something being universally lauded. <br />Over on AM UK, this has 9 reviews with 4 scores of 5 and 5 scores of 4....or the other way round. Yours is the first negative strike I've seen, thanks. col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-40093196084065712542014-06-05T05:44:50.359-07:002014-06-05T05:44:50.359-07:00I hated My Criminal World.

Don't get me wrong that's just an observation not a criticism.<br /><br />I still hope I enjoy it when I get to that one, which will be after these two. It's possibly rude, crude and a little bit bawdy, but hey my SOH is non-PC and we don't all like the same thing, not all the time anyway..col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-46906295236891761652014-06-05T04:30:21.261-07:002014-06-05T04:30:21.261-07:00Col - I admit, the title Thong Nation really is of...Col - I admit, the title <i>Thong Nation</i> really is off-putting. But the two books you've described sound like witty treatments of life in an often-very alienating world. And a book about a crime writer? Well, that strikes home... ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-89792378456017085172014-06-05T03:36:41.220-07:002014-06-05T03:36:41.220-07:00Full reports will undoubtedly follow as and when I...Full reports will undoubtedly follow as and when I read them. I'd struggle to choose between the two as the both have interesting covers and plot lines.

I was half tempted to mention this one, but was concerned about you perhaps choking on your cornflakes as you browsed the blog and happened on the cover photo!<br /><br />I was thinking about introducing clothing features into some of my posts and it seemed an ideal area of commonality between us...... perhaps not.<br /><br />Shall I upload the book cover to the post - I'll let you decide.
