This book had me laughing from start to finish. The review below by 'Julie' has clearly been written by someone with no sense of humour. Stupid names? The main characters are Gordon Berenger and Julian Spence. Does she mean the Maori names? Story is too hard to follow? Perhaps if you're an idiot it might be. A vehicle for jokes? Isn't that what a comic novel is supposed to be? Since when is a surfeit of jokes a minus in a comedy? Don't listen to that sour, dried-up old trollop, enjoy a hilarious read, so rare these days.

Tony Martin is one of my favourite comedians so sorry to write this but I found this book tedious and really hard to finish. Too many uninteresting characters, silly names and just too hard to follow because the story plays for laughs when it should aim for a good story. The story appears to be a vehicle for jokes and they fail because you know they are coming. I loved Tony's other books but this is really disappointing. I still think he is a top comic but his editor has let him down not sorting out the flaws in this book. I would have told him to not use stupid names because they distract from the story. So it is about how daft some small minded people are in Australia and how the media manipulate them . This book is just not funny.
