'I stared in horror - it was a dark, evil green colour with big scales. I hadn't seen a bathroom like this since 1973.'From the creators of Sunday Times bestseller Fifty Sheds of Grey, Graham of Thrones is the hilarious story of one man's epic journey from the grim North to the affluent South, to face his destiny in the shape of the greatest of all lavatories, the mythical Iron Throne. On his way he must overcome brash bathroom salesman Jeremy Glennister, his diminutive philosophical plumber's mate, Tyrone and his wife's miniature dragon collection.Whether you're a Game of Thrones fan or just looking for epic laughs, this is the perfect loo book, lavishly illustrated with sumptuous images of toilets and bathrooms of all shapes and colours and liberally sprinkled with side-splitting lines.If you want this Christmas to be Merrier than ever, remember . . WINTER IS PLUMBING.

A review by Nalini Haynes
Graham is a hardworking plumber whose father lost his head developing the Iron Throne.
Graham's wife has Aspirations; she's a bit of a social climber. And a dragon-collector. Graham will Never. Again. let his wife loose unsupervised in a Welsh craft fair.
References to A Game of Thrones and its author, George R R Martin, abound, as do references to other pop culture icons and contemporary life.
Each page is beautifully illustrated with drawings — perhaps a frieze — surrounding large text or images of pipes crawling along a tiled wall for fine text. Opposite many pages with large-text quotable statements (that are, nonetheless, part of the story) are images of toilets of mind-bending and, occasionally, stomach-churning capacity.
Graham of Thrones is from the same people who brought us Fifty Sheds of Grey; although I haven't seen the latter book, the twitter feed was highly entertaining. Just like Fifty Sheds, Graham of Thrones 'innocently' led me up the garden path to the outhouse where I was left laughing out loud or holding my nose.
Graham of Thrones, an adorable little hardcover book, is perfect for that long session in the Smallest Room upon your own Throne. I'd buy one for the minion because the length and toilet humor is perfect but NO BOOKS ARE DESECRATED BY ENTERING THE INNER SANCTUM IN MY HOUSE. And I already have a copy. And I read a fair bit out to him as I worked my way through its bowels. I highly recommend this book for those who enjoy a bit of toilet humour. This one is a royal flush.
You have my permission to derail this comment threat with puns. Kgo.

I finished it in half an hour, and I read very leisurely.
Turns out, there is actually a story here, dispersed between the toilet jokes. But it is bad and unfunny.
What is funny is some of the toilet jokes, actually. It got a chuckle from me, here and there. But they are hit and miss, but mostly miss.
If you enjoy toilet humor, and want a really quick read, this is for you; but nonetheless I recommend you hold off until you can grab on the cheap at a second hand bookstore.

Good for your coffee table. Was like reading someone's notes app or journal. Light humour. Liked it but could've been much better.
