Product Description

Product Description

This text is the anarchic comedy of one man who realises his secret ambition to get into the music industry - managing a band called Gandhi's Hairdryer. He's soon to find out that there is something very odd about the band, something "other-worldly."

From the Back Cover

It has always been John Omally's secret ambition to become a rock star. In his youth he mastered air guitar and wardrobe-mirror posing, but he lacked that certain something: talent. But at last an opportunity has arisen for John to get into 'The Industry'. A band called Gandhi's Hairdryer are looking for a manager, so all John has to do is persuade them that he is the new Brian Epstein. It should be a piece of cake. But - and there's always a but - there's something rather odd about this band. Something other-worldly. It might be the lead singer, whose voice has the power to heal. Might she be an angel, perhaps? Or could she be the Devil in disguise? Because, after all, the Devil does have the best tunes. And this is Brentford.

So forget about millennial madness and the coming of the euro. Boogie on down to Brentford. Tune into the Allotment Wall of Sound. Turn on to The Brentford Beat and drop the day job. There's a TV here that needs throwing out of a hotel window. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The title says it all!, May 23 2002
By Milos Tomin (Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Very little sex though real or simulated but keep on reading and... you will laugh really hard twice on each page and chuckle to yourself in between. That said this book is best not to be read in public or in transit, for obvious reasons. This is my third Rankin read and I am continuing through his work but I think this will remain one of my favorite. It has: A Beatles reunion no less, although a Serbian SF/Horror writer had that on before Mr. Rankin. The reason why not to use the internet, demonic possession explained, the Terminator rip off (We all know James Cameron had to pay off Harlan Ellison for his rip off) Definition of Rock 'n Roll as it should be. And the extraordinary funny bit with stable boys, buckets and gene splicing!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the Best but Still a Classic!, Sep 25 2001
By S A Rivers "fluffydice" (Port Soif, Guernsey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sex and Drugs and Sausage Rolls (Paperback)
Anyone who has read other books by Robert Rankin will not be surprised at the bizarre and convoluted plot that is his trade mark.

Whilst this book isn't as good as dome he has written, it's still hugely funny and well worth reading. A word of caution however, read the earlier books first and you will enjoy this one more, there are all sorts of references to previous books of Rankin's which, whilst not important to the story, will improve your enjoyment just that little bit more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rants of a madman, Nov 25 2000
This review is from: Sex and Drugs and Sausage Rolls (Paperback)
Mr Rankin is without any doubt insane and I think he would agree if he could escape from the asylum to tell us. I started reading his books about 200 years ago and have not recovered since. A comic genius maybe, but without any doubt insane!
