5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, funny, heart-breaking Ginny Good!, 31 May 2004
Gerard Jones' debut Ginny Good is way more than good - it's great. No, let's not be bashful. It's awesome! Why?

Because its voice really is unique in literature today. With so much formula copy-cat stuff about it's great to read a book that actually means something. To the author, and to me. It's heart-felt, real, and incredibly funny. From the books wonderful opening lines ... 'I'm using everyone's real name. They can all sue me.' To the bizarre 'bird' incident in the final few pages, this book sings sweeter than a sky full of nightingales. Mr Jones' prose are tight, considered, and memorable. His characters are vividly portrayed. His experience and understanding of the sixties and seventies means he can create realistic settings. Details, moods, insights. They are all there. You can taste California. Feel those heady times in your bones. Yet Mr Jones' own powerful voice is never far away. His humour is razor-sharp.

If I could give ten freaking stars on amazon I would have no hesitation! Hell, why stop there? Why not twenty! Well done Mr Jones. I hope Ginny Good becomes an international bestseller. Gritty, no bull writing deserves to be read by as wide a readership as possible. Thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A short message...., 31 Oct 2007
By Aj Keogh - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I won't spend too long on Ginny Good except to say that it is a hidden gem and in any fair world would have been top of the bestseller lists for a very long time. Just do yourself a favour and go buy it...

Ha! (read the book to see the significance of this)
