Mackay is known for pushing the limits and this story continues that tradition with gusto. The fact that there's a picture of a bloody toilet on the cover should be your first clue that this is going to be straight up gross! If you're looking for a new diet, forget all of those latest fads and just read a chapter from here every time you feel a craving coming on. But besides being nasty, this is a great tale of an average working man with terrible secret whom we follow around on one of his crappiest days. It is brilliantly written, as always, and left me permanently scarred for life. Well done.

Gross
Gross and different. Well this book has me mixed at first wondering where it was heading. Even as I got to the end I sort of had an idea but wasn't sure, so it had me stuck as I was captured into the story wanting to read more and more. It turned very gross I won't say why as it would spoil it but but the thought of the thing in the story just turns your stomach. All in all a good read, unusual, different but good. I'd recommend to anyone who wants a break from the norm .

From a daily job...to gross...to grosser, and on to demented. This story focuses on the daily struggles of a mall janitor. It's a bit unsettling, and not run of the mill literature, to say the least. You'll never think of public restrooms the same again.

If you don’t know who Andrew MacKay is, shame on you; but, it is not too late for you to read the work that comes from his genius mind that lies inside the pages of his books. I’d like to welcome you to another mind-altering book created by MacKay. He has written many books that range from comedy to horror and thriller; but Convenience is definitely in a category all of it’s own. It shifts to the left, the right and slams through to hit the water beneath. I have read books from MacKay about school shootings and terrorism, enjoyed being inside the mind of a coma patient, been inside the mind with a brain tumor and God knows what else will happen when it comes from MacKay’s mind. But, I believe Convenience is one of the best works of his to read so far. If you are a fan of Andrew’s, then Convenience is for you. Now, let’s dip inside and I’ll tell you a little.
Convenience is filled with the reality of a worker named Willy Gee. Willy works at the Kaleidoscope Shopping Centre in Chrome Valley. He is one of the most important people that works there other than your security guards; Willy is a supervisor of the facilities of Kaleidoscope. Yes, it was a big shock for me as well. Willy has been doing this type of work for a very long time, making sure he is on top of cleaning every hour, on the hour. He checks every cubicle and checks both the men and women’s restrooms to clean. It is that we don’t know what happens that really terrifies us. Are you ready to dive in the toiletries and roll in the filth of the cubicles with Willy Gee; bringing the madness and chaos that is waiting to reveal itself inside? Well, what are you waiting for? Pick up a copy of Convenience today… and welcome to a shift in Willy’s world.
I have written a few reviews about Mr. MacKay’s work, but I have to say that this book touched me on a different level. Andrew has brought the ability to see inside of a normal working person at a mall and bring the craziest, most bizarre story that makes you shake your head and ask yourself, what did I just read? It is an experience that MacKay brings you with every book he writes, taking something completely normal and bringing absolute chaos by telling you the deepest, darkest secrets of it- connecting you to his stories. MacKay is skilled and clever in his word choices and layouts of his books, which results in the best stories, hands down. He brings a strong connection to the world of his imagination and you, the reader; but he also connects his books to each other in some way. It is fantastic and not something you see very much of. I look forward to his next release, as always, filling my bookshelves with Andrew MacKay’s work with each book that comes from his messed up mind.

Nothing Convenient About It.
This book will take you on a weird wild ride. Just when you think you might know what is going to happen something gets thrown at you that is more gross and unexpected than what you just got done reading. There were a few times I had to put it down and walk away to think about exactly what I had just read.

A pity, it could have been a good book. The social issues were raised in the story, but covered in too much violence and gore to be considered for more than one minute. Nothing worth reading on a large amount of pages (unless you enjoy gore), so I just scanned over them. To me, it's better than a one-star, but two-star might be is a bit generous. Cannot honestly recommend.

If you're looking for something that is very different and horrifically disgusting, this is definitely it. Convenience is a great quick read that will keep you riveted!

I enjoyed this novel, though in some parts it was a little dark for my tastes. I laughed and felt like gagging at some points, but overall I did enjoy it. I do like Andrew Mackay's work. Hats off to you Andrew. Your imagination is amazing.
