Laugh out loud,
By
This review is from: Never Admit to Beige (Hardcover)
Never Admit to Beige had me laughing out loud on the tube much to the amusement of my fellow travellers. This fast paced book is great fun and I thorougly recommend it. I enjoyed reading about the main character, Trigg's adventures (or mishaps) and the various characters on the Gold Coast. This is a very funny story, yet amidst the comedy there are parts that are quite meaningful. I really enjoyed this book and I think Drapes is a very funny writer.

FABULOUS - You really won't be able to put this book down or stop yourself from laughing out loud,

This review is from: Never Admit to Beige (MacMillan New Writing) (Paperback)
I recently heard about this book on Simon Mayo's BBC Five Live book review show - Mayo loved it and so did I. I could not put this book down - and this from a person who does not normally read for pleasure. I really wanted/needed to know what would happen to poor old Trigg and I enjoyed reading about all the hilarious predicaments he found himself in. If you want a laugh, or just want to know more about the sunny Gold Coast, then you should do yourself a favour and read this book. You may get a few funny looks when you are raucously laughing to yourself on the tube/bus/plane but it will be well worth it.

This review is from: Never Admit to Beige (Hardcover)
A somewhat convoluted and sometimes absurd plot that leaves several questions unanswered, but all in all a fun and entertaining read. Enjoyable characters and laugh out loud funny.
