Great chemistry and characterization though there is a lot to take in and the story moves pretty fast.

Full of quick fire dialogue and some gruesome accidents.
I plan on a second reading before the sequel is out :) Treasure Trove put me in mind of Tom Sharpe and made me chuckle. Very unusual for me like the cockroach that arrived with my truck from South Carolina: "I couldn't put it down". I was fully engaged, in fact I enjoyed the whole book in one day. Unusual and addictive, and crammed with crazy people. Mr Laverstoke is a storyteller of some skill. Some hilarious conversational flights and eye watering violence. My daughter loves itįull of joy and mischief, skillfully realised with some terrific verbal dyelling between the characters. MORE.įull of laughs made me miss my lift, what you want from a book. Frequent scene changes reflect the pace, so some concentration required. Sucks you in and then padlocks you to the chair. Nicely paced and multi layered with a a story that pulls in the most interesting an dysfunctional set of characters since The Office. My son would love this but he's not getting his hands on it just yet.Ī very good book indeed.
Great read, quite gripping for such a clever comedy. Reading the more violent events is a enough to make you wince - and grin. The set pieces are fantastically conceived. I like this a lot, it's something I keep picking up to re-read, because the conversations between the characters are so funny. I hope the sequel is up to the same standard, it could turn into something quite special. Like an old fashioned epic that's morphed into a comedy. The humour and dialogue is so sharp and witty, though it's quite a complex story, there are lots of different viewpoints which can trip you up, though the action does drag in quite a few characters. I just keep re- reading it because it's so good.
