Book Synopsis
The highly acclaimed, literary debut novel from renowned comedian and presenter Alexei Sayle

Trade Review
The purpose of this book is to entertain and it does exactly that. By the last paragraph, I was wondering exactly how long I'd have to wait for Alexei Sayle's new novel. * Gary Morecambe, Daily Mirror *
Compelling and believable characters...pacy and brusque * Spectator *
Darkly humourous...[an] eccentric, bleak and wonderfully self-assured novel. * Daily Telegraph *
Like a psychopathic ringmaster in a circus, Sayle ushers in his cast of characters...He makes them perform their surreal little dance, about vengeance, and guilt, and the casual brutality of life, and then, with a shrug, he feeds them to the lions. * Independent *
