Customer Reviews

Not bad, not bad at all
I really enjoyed this book. Dyson, who co-writes The League of Gentlemen, shows the same kind of dark and twisted humour that help make the BBC2 comedy one of the best things on the box. I'd recomend this book to anyone who possesses the ability to read, and to anyone else, get someone to read it too you.

Weird but so good!
I'm not usually one for short stories, but the write-up on Amazon prompted me to buy this book. I definitely don't regret it! I got into each story easily and was soon caught up in the strange, rather twisted, events within each one. Most of them left me feeling slightly unnerved, but satisfied at the turn of events and the conclusion. For anyone who likes something a little bit different, a little on the weird side, I'd certainly recommend "Never Trust a Rabbit".

differently refreshing
I got this book, like many others, because of the 'League of Gentlemen' connection. I didn't know what to expect, but when I started I couldn't stop. Read the whole thing on a Saturday. The stories are very different from each other, and Jeremy Dyson has an uncanny knack of making you imagine the whole thing in your head. Right down to the clothes the characters wear. He has a great way of telling stories, and these will leave you sometimes smiling to yourself, and sometimes feeling alone. That is the sign of a good book, and this one has all the right ingredients. Get this book and you will soon understand what feelings a great author can arouse. Well worth the money. Very very dark and very very deep. Enjoy. I did.
