Lad
Amazon.com
My review -
The
lad of the title is Danny, an estate agent who feels the world owes him a
living and that women should fall at his feet. He lives for drunken sessions
with the lads and nights of steamy sex with women he is quite happy never to
see again. He's not terribly scrupulous about how he comes about his money,
having a few irons in the fire which his boss isn't aware of.
Danny's
not a likeable lad but there's a huge amount of humour in this story which is
laced with irony. He's critical of others for doing very similar things to
those he is quite smug about doing. You follow his often disastrous exploits
wondering why he can’t see his own biggest problem – himself and his attitude
to others. It's compelling reading and you feel pulled along in the wake of his
personal disasters, wondering if he'll ever grow up. A really good read.
