Have you read...?

[Jemisa]

Have you read Ben Elton's 'Two Brother's'?

I've heard such a lot about it lately I thought I'd buy it for the men in my life as a xmas pressy. Is it good?

I haven't read Two Brothers but if its anything like his others it will be very good. The First Casualty is my fave of his to date.

[zebo]

It's on my hints-like-a-sledge-hammer list of OH to buy me, along with the new Rebus. The feature on it, Two Brothers, in the Mail on Sunday was very interesting, sounds good. It sounded a bit like the Deighton book, Winter, from a long time ago.

[nungate]

I read that piece in the Mail about this book too, I rather fancied reading the book as well. Is it actually out yet?

[craft1948]

I haven't Jem, but then I can't stand Ben Elton.

[LyndaB]

It came out last week, as did the new Rebus one.

[Zacs-Master]

I wasn't a fan of Ben Elton the stand up 'comedian' but as an author, he's completely different.

[Tilly2]

Oh, oh, oh, is there a new Rebus? What's the title please, zebo?

[Jemisa]

Thanks folks for the feedback. I went on line 'Tesco' & bought 4. copies
its on special offer £9.00 each.
(Thats a bit more done)

Ben Elton? The man who killed off comedy in the UK? It's said his books are better than his TV appearances, but I'll still give them a miss, thank you.

[heathfield]

By the way, Tilly, the new Rebus is out now and is called "Standing In Another Man's Grave". Excellent reviews!

[Tilly2]

Thank you, heathfield. I thought Ian Rankin had done with Rebus.

[zebo]

Tilly2. apparently, Rankin brings together Rankin and Fox from Complaints. There was a video-diary programme on TV the other evening about his reasons for bringing Rebus back, it sound like New Tricks!

[NOX]

How can you say that the man responsible for Blackadder etc 'killed comedy' Heathfield, if anything he resurrected after years of Terry and June, Carry On and the like.

[Jemisa]

Heathfield, I see, so what you're saying is if someone bought you a copy of his book you would not read it, you'd trash it then?
(I don't think soo)

Jem.

Heathfield, not many books have me rolling around, but Chart throb did, it should be compulsory viewing for all fans of reality shows!
