Product Description

For many centuries the shelves of a library in South America held a terrible secret. Sitting on these shelves was a book with no name, written by an anonymous author. Everyone who ever read it ended up dead, yet the book always found it's way back to the library. In 2005 a special government investigator uncovered the truth about the book and it's link to the murders. Now available in paperback, you can discover for yourself the reason why no one ever read the book and lived, until now.....

"This particular Anonymous has decided to take a fistful of drugs and gone
on a literary genre-bender... punchy and witty... reading this mad book
feels like riding one of those bikes with square wheels... a slightly
strange experience but a lot of fun"

Zoo Magazine, July 07
"Possibly drug-induced lunacy of a book" - 4 stars

Customer Reviews

It was crap no wonder he didn't put his name to it.
This book is terrible. The plot is weak, the dialogue aims for Tarantino and ends up with crap. A whole page on the acting merits of Robert Redford, I mean really?

Don't read this book it's crap, it's so crap that I can't use another adjective for it other than crap, that's how much it has widened my vocabulary. Unbelievable.

An enjoyable read
I really enjoyed this book. It's funny, exciting, gory and different. I read it on holiday and have just started the sequel, The Eye of the Moon. It made me laugh out loud and I found I couldn't put it down, I wanted to keep going and find out what happened next. Give it a try, I think you'll like it!!

Reads like a first draft
I bought this based on Amazon reviews and because I liked the story behind its publication. I found it far too guesomely violent for my taste - which isn't my major gripe, maybe I'm not the target audience - but what I was REALLY shocked by was how bad the writing is. The author is clearly inventive, but desperately needs a good editor. I never got into the book because the language was so clunky I kept tripping over it. I ploughed through to the end because I really wanted the book to be great but it just wasn't.

I hope the author gets more editorial help on future releases because I'm sure he can do better than this.
