If you like dull tales of non stop simmering violence for no purpose you might like this story but probably not, because it's so repetitive and tiresome. Even stuck at an airport with nothing else to read, I opted for staring into space rather than reading about this unlikeable character who lists the inane things that happened to him in any given way. Wish I hadn't wasted £1 reserving this in the library. How it got onto the same lists as the likes of Sloane Crosley is beyond me.
