Customer Reviews

the collected martin millar

i bought this book because of the mohawk, the faeries and the neon green puke colour. by the time i was done with it i decided that martin millar is like the guy who stands in he corner at shows smoking cigarettes while you're slamming to the music. he's the person that you're just dying, wishing that would notice you. he's the only writer who is capable of writing something we might remember when we're old and grey.

Absolutely superb

Quite simply the best book I've read. Although I wasn't convinced by the second story, 'Ruby', 'the good fairies' and 'lux the poet' had me in stitches. Hilarious, disgusting, brutal, tender. Martin Millar is a punk author with an incredibly twisted yet perfectly coherent mind. Borrow, buy or steel yourself a copy now!

original, witty and very cinematic

Ok, so being a fan of Martin Millar I loved these books. But what is gonna make you want to read them? Well let me just say that these three novels are three very different stories which together and separately draw a picture of a wonderful world. Inhabited by a fascinating range of character who are at the same time self centered and hedonistic but incredibly kind and loyal. Ruby is a little depressing but the other two will place a smile on your face so wide it will probably hurt. Anyway I'm not getting paid here so that's it. In my opinion this book is very worth it!
