5.0 out of 5 stars A great read, Mar 22 2010

This review is from: A Fraction of the Whole (Hardcover)

This book was up for a Booker Prize and in my opinion well worth it. It is a rare read that can make you laugh out loud, and this one delivered. A Monty Python-esque humour runs through this story. The scenes are well described without being bogged down.

This book was an excellent read. The characters in this book were exciting and the story was always on the move. I cannot wait for his next novel.

1.0 out of 5 stars non-original pulp fiction, Jan 30 2010

This review is from: A Fraction of the Whole (Paperback)

If you like literature then this book is not for you. It is badly written, unoriginal, predictable and the characters are one dimensional stereotypes( ex. the criminal with the heart of gold etc.) It has the feel of a Hollywood script. I had to stop reading about a third of the way through. If on the other hand you like pulp fiction by novelists such as Stephen King, Clancy, Dan Brown and the like you may hold a different opinion of this ( for me ) very forgettable book
