A noir masterpiece 1 Mar 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
A stirring and fast-paced action spectacular from start to finish, Rotten Apple pulls no punches in shedding light on the dark underbelly of one of the world's most intriguing cities. Parodying the conventions of classic pulp, Simon Dunn gives us an anti-hero we can be proud of: Vic Malone - cop, rebel, lover, and all-round tough-nut. Never flinching, relentless in his adherence to justice, he rightly deserves to become a household name. Great fun!

Imagine that the writer took absolutely no care to make the book believable, and didn't avoid being childish whenever it was funny to be childish. Imagine that the author neither knew or cared about geography, cars, the law or any of the rules of film-noir.

Are you imagining that?

Good, now imagine enjoying something that's been written for fun and will make you laugh out loud.

That's the beauty of this book. It's disposable prose, written as a quick, enjoyable read that will make you chuckle and laugh out loud, at the characters, the style of writing, the situations and yourself.

Perfect!

An incredibly funny read 22 April 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
Simon Dunn has proved himself to be a very funny television writer, and now he's done the same with his parody noir novel Rotten Apple. In this novel Simon shows us exactly how not to do it- and how exactly to do it! He sends up the detective novel superbly and points out cleverly and ironically all the pitfalls writers of this genre can fall into. Writing comedy novels is no easy task, but he pulls it off nicely. His style is confident, witty and hilarious. I can't wait for his follow comedy novel.
