Product Description
Product Description
"There's no room for jugglers in my circus" tells the tale of a young man's drug-addled youth misspent in Borehamwood, where cheap gossip was rife, "friends" were just ships passing in the night, and dreams remained just that. Given the young man's drug habit, his involvement with gangsters, violence and prison seems inevitable. Cookster dissects the psyche of personalities fuelled by drink, drugs and power, and draws colourful sketches of the different types of gangster from "the Real McCoy", a highly influential "gentleman" who practises a code of honour among thieves, to the "plastic gangster", a "wannabe" who has all the bluster but none of the power. Despite everything, there is light at the end of the tunnel for the narrator, as he retains his hopes for the future, and keeps his aspirations alive amid the chaos. And all the time the story is fuelled by cocaine, the devil's dandruff.

I read this book in two days. I dont normally read but as soon as I started to read this I found it very hard to put down. I cannot imagine how frightened this person might of been in some of the situations. He seemed like a gentleman in diquise . I dont know if he is a new author but would like more books from him. I like the way he starts to write and goes of into detail then comes back to the story where it is. I cannot wait for the next saga so come on author let us have some more please. Well done .........

'There's No Room for Jugglers in my Circus'
THIS IS A MUST READ ...
I started my read yesterday, and am now on page 115. Fantastically descriptive, keeping you on your toes, the way the stories branch off into other stories and back again. I am well and truly hooked.
Roll on the 2nd book for me to read, and greatly looking forward to the film in the near future.
Bloody well done Jason. xx
