5.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, not bad at all, 22 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Never Trust a Rabbit (Duckbacks) (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. Dyson, who co-writes The League of Gentlemen, shows the same kind of dark and twisted humour that help make the BBC2 comedy one of the best things on the box. I'd recomend this book to anyone who possesses the ability to read, and to anyone else, get someone to read it too you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Weird but so good!, 10 May 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Never Trust a Rabbit (Duckbacks) (Paperback)
I'm not usually one for short stories, but the write-up on Amazon prompted me to buy this book. I definitely don't regret it! I got into each story easily and was soon caught up in the strange, rather twisted, events within each one. Most of them left me feeling slightly unnerved, but satisfied at the turn of events and the conclusion. For anyone who likes something a little bit different, a little on the weird side, I'd certainly recommend "Never Trust a Rabbit".

5.0 out of 5 stars differently refreshing, 10 Nov 2001
This review is from: Never Trust a Rabbit (Duck Editions) (Paperback)
I got this book, like many others, because of the 'League of Gentlemen' connection. I didn't know what to expect, but when I started I couldn't stop. Read the whole thing on a Saturday. The stories are very different from each other, and Jeremy Dyson has an uncanny knack of making you imagine the whole thing in your head. Right down to the clothes the characters wear. He has a great way of telling stories, and these will leave you sometimes smiling to yourself, and sometimes feeling alone. That is the sign of a good book, and this one has all the right ingredients. Get this book and you will soon understand what feelings a great author can arouse. Well worth the money. Very very dark and very very deep. Enjoy. I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, witty and very..............very dark
Dyson's style is both amusing and easy to read. His stories are the product of over-active imagination mixed with comic genius and a few morals thrown in for good measure. Read more
