5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Read, 21 Aug 2000
By A Customer
The book is an absolute marvellous read. I thought the characters in the story to be very convincing. Henry Farr is a man with a few problems - his 'wife' and how he thinks up ways in which he can 'finish her off' are both very wicked and very very funny. I would highly recommend this to anyone, a must!

4.0 out of 5 stars Forget the tennis: read this!!, 16 Nov 1999
By A Customer
Linguistic dexterity makes this book a real gem - alerting you forever to your family, friends and neighbours and their funny little foibles; Mr "is the Mitsibushi scratched yet" is alive and well and living in Northern Ireland (though in real life he drives a Toyota).

Williams has written a biting satire on middle England in the late 20th Century, which manages to make the reader laugh aloud. THe TV series in no way did the novel justice - this is clearly one of the most entertaining books of the decade.

Oh yes - and if you're not getting on so well with your spouse and/or child, or anyone else for that matter, it gives some great handy hints on how NOT to do away with them... Madame Bovary and Therese Desqueyroux have nothing on this!
