Joseph Connolly

A modern novel about a very urban 'Islington' set. All the characters hate and despise each other, even when they're having sex. At first the book is tiresome; it becomes funnier as it progresses but still a bit off-putting. It's intended to be funny but written in a very bilious way, full of anger. Two characters stand out just because they don't hate everyone. The book is not witty but nasty. The author has no affection for his characters. Not recommended.
