I love the different covers for different countries. Really interesting.

The Czech cover is pretty horrifying.

The last one was pretty awful.

The last one was pretty awful.

Awwww, I loved it! But I was 17 when I read it, and a big Nick fan. It is like a big long Nick Cave lyric. Which is a good thing as far as I'm concerned.

Read an extract this morning - not bad at all and very funny in places. Totally different than his first one anyway.

Is Cave a guest or an item?

I'm holding out for the audiobook. It's got a soundtrack to it.
And should be readily nickable, no pun intended.

If you like words like "torrential" and "cascading" you'll like when the ass saw...

I couldn't finish it.

There's a copy of Bunny in the house. I'll never read it.

What was that line in The Proposition when Ray Winstone looks out the window... Something like "What fresh hell is this?"

Criiiiiiiinge

Criiiiiiiinge

that's a quote from dorothy parker, innit. you sure that was the line? the film would've been set waaay before she was constructing witticisms

Ah with was something overdramatic and came early in the film, and made the prospect of sitting through the next 2 hours unbearable.

'tis a good movie. a little pretentious maybe and the oirish accents are shameful

it is good. much the same problems as bunny munro though (IMHO): it creates an intruiging universe and gets you all set and then not much happens plot wise.

the death of bunny munro is very funny, and bunny junior is a heartbreaker of a character. it starts off really well and ends less well but it's deffo worth a read.

i liked and the ass... too though when i read it. like t'other fella it was years ago. this one's certainly better.

i've had it on the shelf for a few years now. having trouble starting it.
can't shake the preconception that it's going to be a stream-of-ponce-iousness kind of affair

Is it a comedy?
