review 1: A main character that compares himself to Seinfelds George (what a winner), and another secondary character that acts like a complete obnoxious tool who loves to brag about his endless money supply. The characterisation of the money flasher was realistically done though. I hated every time he was mentioned. No fault of the author he makes the characters realistic but they aren't people i'm going to empathise with at all. Maybe someone else might
review 2: Shite. Pointless. Repetitive. Contains two of the worst leading characters I have ever come across in a book. Over obvious and very poor dialogue. And a conclusion so unsatisfying and flat I felt like chucking the book in the fire. With its ultra short chapters it reads more like a detailed scene breakdown for
... more a film than an actual novel. But don't let that put you off buying the book from me on Amazon Marketplace. (£3.50 folks, the lowest price there!) less

Great idea but but didn't fulfil its potential. Finished several chapters too early.

SMOKEHEADS and HIT & RUN were both fantastic. Read them if you havn't already.
