- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I got up early one Saturday and started reading this book on the recommendation of a friend. By 8pm I had finished it. I cannot remember when I last read a book in a day without eating - ok I'm exaggerating for effect. This is a wonderfully dark nasty engrossing book. I know you are supposed to hate the main character - Steven Stelfox, but it felt like a perverse privilege to be in his head. I probably need help for thinking that. I almost contemplated re-reading straight away. Need I say more. The day before I finished Madame Bovary - my head is a mess, but I feel I have grown in a contorted mutated way!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Evil and hilarious, "Kill your friends", charts a year in the life of Steven Stelfox, a A&R guy. In case you were wondering what A&R execs did in the years of Britpop; they go on benders at record industry meetings, snuffle sacks of chang and give it to boilers up the gary. If you like to read books where you want to identify with the characters and learn something - don't bother with this. Recommended as a good, quick holiday read.
