I jumped out of my seat with excitement when this landed on my desk. The chapters were utterly hysterical!

Product Description
Bex and Ollie are a couple of small-time burglars. They scratch a living robbing shops, burgling factories and emptying offices around the back-water town of Tatley. Bex is the brains, Ollie drives the van. The lads don't have it all their own way though; 'Weasel' of CID is only one faltering step behind them, the local criminal competition will do anything to stitch them up and the loves of their lives are wondering what the hell they've done to deserve them. Things are about to finally catch up with Bex and Ollie. Following on from The Burglar Diaries and based on the BBC comedy series Thieves Like Us, narrator Bex takes us on another tour of Tatley's rooftops and drainpipes, and through lock-ups, cock-ups and jobs as he recounts More Burglar Diaries.

As a big fan of Danny King and having recently read 'Blue Collar' - which I liked incidentally - I approached this book with a little trepidation as I worried that maybe Danny had been seduced by the dark side of 'mainstream' fiction. As it turned out I needn't have worried, 'More Burglar Diaries' sees him, and us, back on familiar territory as loveable scumbags Bex and Ollie blunder their way through peoples houses and businesses with often hilarious results. The best part for me though is the almost throwaway one-liners that pepper this book. Most (inferior) writers would make a big thing of these quality lines but King has so many up his sleeve that he just throws them into conversations with no build up at all which, for me, makes them all the funnier. An excellent tome - nice one.

This was a very good read. I didn't expect much from the download price and was more than pleasantly surprised to find a very fast paced book which didn't let up for a moment with the wisecracks. The characters are well written and the dialogue... Well, is it too corny to say it really speaks to you?
I'm looking for more downloads by Mr King.
