Product Description
Faccome FC are playing at home when the crowd erupts and a masked streaker sprints across the pitch. As Alex discovers the streaker's identity is closer to home than expected, the town, especially the women, go crazy for the apparently blessed mystery man. As the police work vigorously to catch the 'Faccome Flash' and the community pulls together to keep their new hero undiscovered, they decide together he should streak again and this time for charity and across St James' Park itself. As the media debate rages with the whole country catching Flash fever, and the police stopping at nothing to get their man, can Alex help complete the most daring streak of all time? Excerpt: 'The women were in a worse state over this streaker than the men. Women as old as my mother, saying how they would do this to him and give him good that.. twelve on the slack at least.... The first woman up on the table with her t**ts out wasn't too bad at all. Unfortunately, the fatties saw this as a chance to impress and took to the tables in numbers, juggling them about with their hands and threatning to take off their skirts...'

Format:Paperback
I read this book by fellow Legend Press/Paperbooks author, Gary Davison, after being discharged from hospital. The book I was already on with no longer appealed (bad associations and heavier than I felt up to.) Streakers therefore looked like the perfect solution. Set partly in Faccome by the Sea, the name of this fictional town (very Carry On) seemed to suggest that it was going to be pure entertainment, probably quite filthy and, I was sure, a laugh a minute.
I wasn't disappointed. Davison writes with economy and deceptive ease. His plotting isn't overcomplicated. There are no earthshattering insights. His characters are more likely to talk about daytime TV than Voltaire.... But, nonetheless, he not only entertains but succeeds in creating characters with warmth and depth -- friends who care, even if they sometimes show it in quite peculiar ways.
An excellent read without any pretensions. Extremely refreshing. I recommend it highly.

Never - in my life - have I ever read a book from start to finish in one go, but I did with "Streakers" last night.
I currently don't know if the book is fiction or not, but I believed it was real.
This book is strangely heart warming, touching and down right hilarious at times.
I love how "The Flash" decides to help a boy who needs an operation, and all of a sudden he goes from being a funny streaker to a local hero, and people in the community all rally around him - there's something in that which I recognise from trying to do a good thing, and being stopped by laws and bureaucracy, so it felt wonderful for the balance of power to tip back in to every day people's favour for once.
I think this book seems to be about self analysis, comparing yourself to other people, friendship, enjoying "gay abandon", feeling support from those around you, and trying to beat all odds.
This is my second favourite book after Ozzy's Autobiography - buy it, buy it now, and laugh!! :D

Very Funny Read
Streakers ticked all of the boxes for me - full of laughs, sex and filth, what more could a bloke ask for apart from a sex starved girlfriend like Becky!!

An entertaining, comical and slightly bizarre read
A refreshing glimpse into the minds of a pair of male flat-mates. Full of sex, drink and outrageous items from the sex shop. This is definitely a read for the boys. Read more
