From Amazon.co.uk

Christopher Brookmyre's One Fine Day in the Middle of the Night is a lethal farce in which nothing goes quite according to plan. The mercenaries and terrorists who seize an oil rig converted into an international resort are almost too busy wanting to kill each other to get on with the job, for one thing, and, for another, the group they take hostage are a high-school reunion rather than the conference of the internationally famous they are expecting. One of the high-school year went on to be a famous gangland hardman before reforming, and another is a darkly brilliant comic whose career is on the skids--and a couple more have spent far too much time in the cinema not to know what Bruce Willis would do... This is a splendidly constructed darkly funny novel in which the oddest things prove suddenly lethal and in which the imagined geography of a closed environment is at once a trap, and a playground for heroism, double cross and the sudden discovery of true love. The running gags and knowingness about movies ought to be less amusing than they are, but Brookmyre's underlying affection for ordinary people and contempt for bullies stops them being self-indulgent. --Ce texte provient de la Paperback édition.


From AudioFile

The former pupils of Glasgow's St. Michael's are invited to a free reunion at classmate Gavin Hutchinson's resort on a disused oil platform. Trouble begins immediately and escalates when terrorists raid the isolated hotel. Narrator Kenny Blyth is terrific as he lends believability to a wide range of characters and situations that ranges from graphic violence to dark comedy and poignancy as old scores are settled. Blyth gives authenticity to farce, irony, and one-liners. Particularly entertaining is the comparison of TV and movie crime with real crime. In addition to mystery buffs, those who enjoy superior writing and narration are in for a unique experience.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Honing his skills, Nov. 22 2003
Par J. Holliday "'james fan'" (Inverness) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: One Fine Day In Middle Night (Paperback)
Brookmyre is one of the few authors who can make me laugh out loud. This was the second of his books that I read and (forgive the cliche) I could hardly put it down. He always has a semi-political message, but he masks it under some really funny adventure. The scene where the ex-cop starts gets involved in the story is truly genius. He has a talent for making you care about his characters. People do occasionally die in Brookmyre's books, but he stays well away from really bringing you down. This book will make just about anyone happy -- it's a great book for a quiet evening at home but won't tax you too greatly if you're looking for a holiday read.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Quite Possibly the Best Book ever written, Nov. 7 2003
Par Robin Richardson "Rob" (Orlando, FL United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: One Fine Day in the Middle of the Night (Paperback)
If you can amagine a book that takes you back to your childhood, and then transports you to your present day, with all your experiences under your belt, and then lets you be that child again, then this is the book.
You will not be able to put this down, and I challenge anybody to read this book and not laugh out load once.
I hope that anybody that reads this book gets as much enjoyment from it as me.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A double take on both the yuppie and terrorist cultures, Oct. 1 2003
Par isala "Isabel and Lars" (Fairbanks, Alaska,, US) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: One Fine Day in the Middle of the Night (Paperback)
Another hit from Brookmyre. In this book he satiirizes the yuppies, gunworshippers, terrorists, and the package tourist industry. A big undertaking, but he gets away with it. It is fast, funny, and gross. Everything you have come to expect from this Tartan-Noir writer.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Excellent as ever
Christopher Brookmyer is a highly under-rated author. You get so involved with his characters and his plot-lines. Read more
