Review
‘Beaumont is an unflaggingly funny writer with a great facility for teetering on the edge of credibility and coming down on the correct side’ Guardian
‘A rip-roaringly funny read [from] the brilliant Matt Beaumont…full of colourful characters and cinematic scenes…A brilliant read’ Heat

‘Beaumont is the sort of writer you wish would knock books out quicker.' Closer

‘Delicious knockabout comedy…this is funnier [than e]’ Bookseller
‘Toe-curlingly good…makes you laugh out loud’ Campaign
‘It’s very funny from first to last. Infectiously enjoyable and energetic’ Time Out

Product Description
From the bestelling author of ‘e’ comes a hilarious and moving novel of a very normal life becoming extraordinary
Murray’s living life to the full – and it might just kill him. He’s started telling the truth at work. He’s borrowed a stack of cash from a man with a gun, a speech impediment and no grasp whatsoever of APR. He’s also taking drugs and – God help him – he’s started dancing. Badly. To trance. And now he’s on the run with a human version of Muttley and a teenage girl called Fish.
Which is strange, because a few weeks ago Murray didn’t even burn the candle at one end. But when his doctors tell him he has only months to live, he gives his boring old self the boot, relaunches a new, improved Murray and falls in love with a passion he didn’t know was in him.
His old self, of course, would tell him he’s digging his own grave. But he’ll be needing one of those soon enough anyway, won’t he?

Story line a bit predictable.
And it is a dream read!
Very rarely does a book make me laugh, let alone laugh out loud, but that is... Read more
After the 'novelty' aspect of his first novel "E" (a story told entirely through e-mails), Matt Beaumont took... Read more
