Product Description
A hilarious parody of Jeffrey Archer’s Prison Diary.
When Jeffrey Archer, novelist and Member of Parliament, was sent to prison for perjury, you might have thought we’d be spared any more of his colourful life and anemic prose for at least a while. But of course in prison there isn’t much else to do but write, so Archer is churning out trademark tales of his prison life faster than his new publishers can package them. Three hardened volumes are planned already and, if he gets on the wrong side of Her Majesty’s Prisons much more, he will have plenty of time to indulge in further volumes.
In this hilarious parody, Tim Dowling offers an alternative account of what happens when a familiar, disgraced politician with a vivid fantasy life descends upon innocent and unsuspecting criminals.

Obviously, this is only worth buying if you have read the first Archer Prison Diary.
The jokes and pardodys are certainly funny, but i think the author could have added a little bit more humour.
A great book though and i would reccommend it to anyone who has read the original Prison Diary, but it is very short; 125 pages a lot of them with just a title on them, and also quite a few illustrations, which match the text perfectly.
I am a slow reader but managed this book in one day without breaking a sweat.
