Have you read it?
Have to say, he's got the longest author bio I've ever seen on Amazon. He just needs to add what he had for breakfast and where he gets his groceries from to complete it!

Nope, I just remember the title.
It's got 100% 5 star reviews to be fair. From one review. Better than my book record though.

Is it Bananaman having another go?
Err....nope, not in this case.
(I must have missed Banana's quest for literary stardom - what was it about? I'd guess the same thing most if his posts were about

).
Llancarfon ford, it was a philosophical book. I think he wrote at least one more
I didn't even make it through the excerpt

. I'm more of a sci-fi/dystopia reader tbf, philosophy, even in novel form, is not for me. I read Kafka's The Trial a couple of years back, and it really was.

Well, today is the day (finally) of my book launch
So if anyone fancies a comedy crime caper (sort of like a Guy Ritchie movie in book form according to half the early reviews) then why not give it a whirl. Richard Osman won't miss a handful of sales, maybe take a punt on someone you haven't read, but whose... avatar... you know moderately well
Paperback/Hardback/Kindle available now on Amazon, audiobook coming in next couple of days.
Do feel free to peruse some of the
early reviews on Goodread before committing your hard earned.

None of the reviews mention how many helicopter crashes there are?

Paperback, hardback....and...audiobook as well as Kindle! That's got all the bases covered.
It's a right ripping yarn.
(Who's the voice of the audiobook?).

Stored on Kindle. Maybe this will even restore my latent reading mojo?
Good luck with the sales Dan.

I haven't ordered all the formats! (But I am a fan of paper books so......and will be interested to see/hear the voice you've chosen.

).
PS I was expecting to see the cover when I opened the Kindle version - as above. It is there if I do 'Go to' Cover though.

The guy was very good actually... there's a lot of accents in there!
When the audiobook is finally live on Audible, you can hear a sample too I believe.

It certainly should be there! Not checked my Kindle yet, but it came through OK on my phone and browser app

But it'll be waiting till I've finished reading the Old Man's War series - ooo, the suspense...

Me too. Not had that before but there's a few odd things going on with Amazon's systems at the moment. eg tried to get into my account details and got 'web page not found'

Also got impending delivery/download in my email. Deleted it as it had already arrived. Message appeared again. Repeat several times through the day.
Today I'm getting an 'Expected today' message for something that arrived 3 days ago.

No problems with the Kindle version.
Rattled through the first 3 chapters last night, good stuff.
