Ilustration To Books Empire State

This may be Colin Bateman's best so far. Nathan Young, and illegal from Ireland is not a sterling character. He drifts here and there wondering what life is doing to him. He lands a job as a security guard at the Empire State Building and the President of the United States is coming to visit. In true Bateman fashion, a presidential assassin gets usurped by Nathan through a comedy of errors. Bateman's books just don't stand up to synopsis. You just have to go there yourself and you should - really. He's a twisted tale teller for sure.

This crime caper was one I picked up in London. It was terrible. I can't believe I bothered to finish it.

Colin Bateman has been writing for a good length of time now and his style has matured over the years. He has always balanced darkness with light, often by having gruesome murders, but very funny main characters. His earliest works were perhaps his darkest, but the setting of Northern Ireland seemed to give the books a reprieve. Surely bad things happened during the troubles? How would Batemans dark comedic crime thrillers work if the setting was moved? Not quite as well as it turns out.Nathan

Absolute riot - was the first Bateman I read and became an instant fan.Give it a go!

Yet another Colin Bateman novel... took me a bit longer to get into than the Dan Starkey or Mystery Man books by Colin. But a page turner once I got into it. Sadly it means that I only have 2 Bateman novels left to read. It was rather funny that the book revolves around a US president who is black and Obama is currently in office. Made it more fun to read.

brilliant book

Bateman always delivers. With this one just a little less than usually, not because of the story or writing but because some of the characters were just too horrible, and the way their chapters were written were just a bit too much. More than was needed to understand, so it felt a little over-indulgent. Still a great story, fantastic time as always with Bateman, never get less than that.

I say read Divorcing Jack, then read this, then...just move on to another author. No offense to this one.
