4.0 out of 5 stars
unbelievable!,
This review is from: Jello Salad (A Mask Noir Title) (Paperback)
well, this book is definitely not for the light-hearted or weak-stomached or well, most people. but if you are into the bizarre, fascinated by the 90's drug culture, and just looking for a wild ride, this is definitely a great read! i found myself reading passages to my friends and lending the book once i was done! it's full of twists and turns and gratutious violence and drugs and everything is somehow connected!

This review is from: Jello Salad (A Mask Noir Title) (Paperback)
witty and contemporary reveals the spirit of our times.Set in the late 90's in London. The story of a chef, his friends and all the strange and unpredictable situations he gets into.A very good profile of all the characters leaves you a very electrical feeling. Best book I read this year.

This review is from: Jello Salad (A Mask Noir Title) (Paperback)
Impossible start. Fails to catch interest, sorry. Fascinated with 90's drug culture?? Is that the gimmick? Oh. sordid, maudlin interest more like. Unjustified violence isn't nice.
