5.0 out of 5 stars Read it twice in a week., 13 Mar 2001
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Flatshare from Hell, 14 Jul 2000
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The funniest book I have read since 'felafel', 12 April 2000
By A Customer
Absolutely superb. I can't say anything bad about this book at all. Buy it, read it, love it, never flat share with anyone else ever again.

If you think this is funny you have a sad sense of humour IMO.
