While I respect John as a musician, I lost a lot of respect for him as a person after reading this. Proper arsehole, especially when drunk. Acted the big I Am and expected others to put the carnage right. Treated people terribly, and actually physically hurting people and thinking it's just fun and games. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I finish the series I've got a stack of books waiting... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do love a good series of books I can get my teeth into. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeb Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Just a heads up - Apple TV have started releasing their 'mini-series' version of the very excellent (IMO) Mick Herron - Slough House book series on video/ streaming/whatever. Will be interesting to see what a fistfull they made of it ? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemondropkid Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) This one by the normally excellent Joh Ronson( EDIT- gave this up halfway through, the poorest of Ronson's books. A few ideas and subject matter stretched very thin. Very disappointing, thankfully got it from the library) Edited April 7, 2022 by Lemondropkid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
