Customer Reviews

explores hypocrisies in church and state and spins fine plot

Clearly there is much of the author in this clever work. The Catholic Church, Westminster, the Media and the British class system are surefire fodder for Read's heavy irony.The humble human condition is the victor as our hero eventually settles for his lot. 'Be happy with what you have...'The novel lends itself to the 'taped version' and the narrator, Ric Jerome, does an excellent job.
