‘If The Young Ones is one of your favourite TV shows… Birmingham’s sequel to He Died With A Felafel In His Hand is what you’ve been waiting for’
Who
Product Description
In the sequel to He Died With A Felafel In His Hand, John Birmingham guides us through a rip-roaring tale of house-sharing hell.
When John Birmingham and his flatmates took in the new guy they had their doubts. The Celine Dion albums, the hordes of fluffy stuffed animals and the plastic-covered floral-pattern love seat should have set their threat detectors singing. Within days their house had become a swirling maelstrom of junkies, stolen goods and hired goons, Tasmanian Babes and Karate Dykes. And then the new guy did a runner – taking their money and possessions with him.
Now the flatmates have just one week to sober up, find two thousand dollars and catch the runaway before the government, the cops, crims and their landlord tear their house down and jump on their bones.

Read it twice in a week.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tasmanian Babes Fiasco (Paperback)
This is probably one of the funniest books I've read in the past year. If you've ever lived in student housing or flat-shared with a few people, you'll know exactly what he's talking about. Most of the scenes gave me flashbacks to my own demented home-share days, and the characters are more like caricatures in one way or another of somebody you know or have known. Had me laughing out loud on the train at 6 in the morning. Quite an achievement... I'll be ordering his other books pretty soon.

Hard to get into but worth persevering,
By Mrs. K. A. Wheatley "katywheatley" (Leicester, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Tasmanian Babes Fiasco (Paperback)
I read his first book "He Died with a Felafel in his Hand" and thoroughly enjoyed it. This is very similar but has more structure than the motley assortment of stories in the previous book. Having said that I thought this book was less funny, although it does have its laugh out loud moments. I thought it was slow to start and I found trouble warming to the characters, but about half way through things picked up pace and I never looked back.

Flatshare from Hell,
By david.balko@virgin.net (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Tasmanian Babes Fiasco (Paperback)
What a great, funny book, I couldn't read it on the tube as I was worried about the looks I was getting from my fellow passengers. Make sure you read this is company who will appreciate you rolling on the floor. It makes any flatshare seem bearable. Although run for your life if you find your vinal hotpants have gone missing.
