The bastard. Not content with making provocative genius records for thousands of years. Scripting a decent movie. Co- creating wonderfull film scores he now writes a great novel. Equal to his musical output. An incestuous cousin to "The Road " ( though not as good as that masterpiece ). As twisted and dark as his best lyrics. Subtle too, because although it seems to be about Bunny we read it through the boys eyes. I'm jealous.

I have been a devoted fan of Nick Cave for 20 years still I was not prepared for this book. I guess a good way to summarise the story is to say it is a sophisticated take on American Beauty - in England. Therefore it is a must read. The story about the soap and Darth Vader makes me smile everytime I think of it. Dont forget to listen to Let Love In / To be by your side or something similar once you finished.

This book was recommended to me by a friend from Romania and I was very surprised to know that it was translated into Romanian. I looked it up on Amazon and the seller had great reviews so I immediately placed an order. To my surprise I got it delivered in a couple of days and it was brand new as advertised. I recommend it to anyone daring enough to read something very unconventional.
