The Twitch
A Crime, Mystery, Humor book. This is supposed to be a humorous book. I may have laughed once, towards the end....
One year. One list. Five bodies. Edward J Banger is a man obsessed. The drudgery of a nine-to-five job, the pressures of maintaining a healthy marriage and raising teenage girls are unwelcome inconveniences. The real challenge is ticking boxes. He is determined to win the annual bird race, a competition steeped in history and glory. All he has to do is see more species of birds in the British Isles than anyone else, all within a single calendar year - and he is willing to do anything to win. Anything. The Twitch is a viciously funny black comedy with an obnoxious sod as its central character. After accidentally wiping out one element of the competition, Edward Banger begins to see opportunities to get ahead...

More About The Twitch
This is supposed to be a humorous book. I may have laughed once, towards the end. Clearly, not my cup of tea. If you are very into birding then there may be enough to hold your interest (if the dated treatment of women isn't too off-putting). This is one of two books I bought in Oxford the week before last. The first was in the shop window and caught my eye so I went inside and then this cover and title caught my eye so I bought it too. Both purchases were testaments to the power of advertising or communication. If they hadnt promoted themselves I wouldnt have known that... Im not a bird watcher, but I am a murderer - so, I could immediately relate to the protagonist - Ted Banger - at that level. Kevin Parrs book is a fast-paced and exceptionally funny read, that will make you laugh out loud. Probably best, therefore, not to read The Twitch in a public library, where laughing is generally frowned upon....
