Product Description

Review

"Fast, up-to-date, and funny." Jonathan Coe


Product Description

All is not well in the Big Smoke...When a shadowy cat-burglar called 'Fingers' starts nicking rocks from London's celebrities, Macaulay Lewis, a misfit news-hound, scents opportunity. If he can unmask the thief, he might just stand a chance of holding down his job with the paper. His ex-girlfriend might fancy him again. He might even get snapped by the odd celeb magazine himself. Fame glitters. But is all that glitters really worth the cab ride home? "Overexposure" is arch farce and rollicking thriller rolled into one, with unforgettable characters, brilliant dialogue and laugh-out-loud quips. Expose yourself to the flashiest, edgiest comedy of modern life in recent years.

5.0 out of 5 stars A worryingly accurate depiction of gossip columnists' lives, 3 Aug 2006
By J. Malvern "Jack Malvern" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Highly enjoyable whodunnit? that will appeal to fans of Iain Banks and anyone seeking an insight into the hollow circus that is the London gossip scene.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hugely enjoyable romp, 19 Oct 2006
By J. Fraser (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Hugo Rifkind is a shining wit (Spoonerism not intended) and this punchy debut is a cracking read concerning the dark underside of celebrity journalism. I would say it was a perfect holiday read, if that isn't too much of a backhanded compliment.

4.0 out of 5 stars PG Wodehouse meets Martin Amis in a dingy hotel room rented out by Irvine Welsh. Some time later this book appears..., 26 Sep 2006
By dangermouseforpope "Penfold" (Number 10 downing street. The Letter box on the corner.) - See all my reviews
Read this book. If you've never read a book before, then learn to read, then buy this book and then read it.

Even if you've read loads of other books this is still a wonderful book, in comparison to those other books that you like, whatever they may be.

Yes that's right. This book has it all. Comedy. Tragedy. Sex. Violence. Corruption. Drugs. Love. Sadness. Sex.

It also has, in this crazy mixed up world we live in and is often found wanting on a basic moral level, depth and substance.

Ironic given that it's about the shallow and empty world of celebrity. You see? Shallowness/depth: the dichotomy of our seedy yet exciting age.

Read it if you love celebrity culture. Read it if you loathe celebrity culture. Read it. Read it. Read it.

There. That's all I have to say.
