Dark places,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cold Caller (Paperback)
At first, it's easy to sympathise with the Bill Moss. He is put upon by every other character.But, gradually, the real Moss intrudes. And he's not the put upon, grim realist of first impressions. He's a manipulative, over ambitious control freak who will stop at nothing to get between him and promotion. Grim, bleak and blackly humorous.

A frighteningly ordinary character,
By
This review is from: Cold Caller (Paperback)
This book gets darker and darker as the chapters pass. Bill Moss appears to be ordinary. But his actions become increasingly, scarily, extrodinary. Most frightening of all is how easy it is to emphasis with Bill. I wish I had written this book, but I'm not sure I would like others to know I had. I think it gives a unique insight into how males think and might act if pushed beyond reason. An excellent read.

Call Centre Killer !,
By
This review is from: Cold Caller (No Exit Press 18 Years Classic) (Paperback)
Cold Caller was Jason Starr's debut novel and if it's anything to go by his other books will definately be worth a read. Bill Moss was once a successful young man but now he is a lowly telemarketer and he'll do ANYTHING to change that. The career mishaps combined with the characters personal problems, such as his obsession with prostitues and his needy girlfriend make for a real page turner that I finished in a few days (unusual for me). This book is recommended to anyone who enjoyed the film Falling Down or who has ever thought they could do a better job than their boss.
