Customer Reviews

Another winner!
Having thoroughly enjoyed every page of the first two books I was overjoyed to source an advance copy of the eagerly awaited Bravo Jubilee! Again the unique Charlie Owen gritty storyline kicks in and the first chapter commands your attention from the off punctuated with more original hilarious similes and scenarios.The characters we know whose personalities are embellished to a point when the reader feels they may have actually met them (or some one like them) in their own experiences.There are dark moments which highlight the author's skill to move from feeling slightly disturbed to fit of uncontrollable laughter.If a Britflick film maker made this properly it would blow all that's gone before out of the water!If you're over 18 and have got a sense of humour one cannot fail to enjoy it! Put it on your Christmas list and if you have not read the first two get them as well you wont be disappointed.

Brilliant Bravo Jubilee
I have just finished the book. Like the two books before, this book is brilliantly written. Once you start on page one, you will simply be engrosed in the book. Charlie Owen is a brilliant writer and I hope that he carries on with this superb series of books. The characters are fabulous and certain sections of the book leave you laughing out very loudly. Brilliant and lets hope he continues to write more.

Politically incorrect romp - brilliant
I really enjoyed this novel with all its flaws and gaffes. If you want a ripping police procedural, a kind of Frost meets The Sweeney with a little 'On the Buses' thrown in - then this is the author for you. Pure blast from the past escapism. I have ordered more by Charlie Owen.
