Review
"'King spends his free time writing for a top-shelf grot mag and hanging out with some "tasty" geezers. He's also written a couple of excellent books about the nonlegit lifestyle choice' Loaded; 'One of the few writers to make me laugh out loud. Danny King's brilliant at making you love characters who essentially are quite bad people.' David Baddiel; 'Sweet-as-a-nut, hilariously un-PC... if ever there was an antidote to Bridget Jones's Diary, this is it' Daily Mirror"
Product Description
Godfrey Bishop works for a soft porn magazine. He talks to the models, he reads hundreds of filthy readers' letters, he organises the photoshoots and even gets to direct the action. He has, according to his non-porn friends, "the best job in the world". But Godfrey Bishop has a problem. Godfrey Bishop is going through the sex drought to end all sex droughts. He hasn't been with a woman in over a year and this knee-twisting frustration is magnified a hundred times by his daily grind. He feels like Billy Bunter put in charge of the cake shop, only to have the Atkins diet forced upon him at gun point. Chuck into the mix a twelve girl orgy, a stable of alcoholic co-workers, an angry feminist, a naked run from justice and an obsessive reader who thinks Godfrey is trying to scupper his chances of marrying the magazine's centre-spread girl and you have Danny King's filthiest and funniest novel yet.

Took this book on holiday and finished it in one night much to my partners dismay! Laugh outloud funny without being offensive - pornography, every man's dream and in reality it never really happens except in this book! Written in first person narrative the main character, Geoffrey Bishop is about to embark on the job of a lifetime - what a job! Can't believe his luck when he lands a job at a porn magazine! Some of the antics and situations he gets himself into are hilarious. A must buy, so much so that I have gone out and bought another three of Danny Kings books for this years holiday!

I bought this book after buying the previous three which I thought were massively funny and original, not too pompous and highbrow. In my opinion this is easily the best of the three as bizarrely enough this was the nearest profesion I could relate to. I lent it to a couple of my mates and they more or less agreed.

I was a bit worried about what was a diversion away from crime by one of my favourite authors, but I needn't have have been, it was really enjoyable. He makes working in porn sound horrible at times, but also a bit of a laugh at others, and really provides a crash course in pornography through his main character. I think what this book proves is that King's humour translates onto subjects other than crime - he captures the average working bloke's attitudes, worries and way of speaking very accurately. 7 thumbs up.

I have re-read this book a couple of times now. It is funny every time- never old. The comic timing is spot on, and for a writer to be able to get you to laugh from reading words... Read more

Another fantastic seller.
This book is the 4th in Danny King's crime series and is an absolute diamond. Every book I've read I've thought 'wow, can it get better than that? Read more

Seemingly based on his own banal experience King has written a lazy, cynical fiction devoid of plot, pace or character development. Read more
