This is the posthumous memoir of Dixon Thompson: actor, playwright, sociopath, and moral voice of his generation.
When Dixon’s romantic prospects are derailed at a Cape Town bar, his bruised ego becomes creative jet fuel. Determined to capture the hearts, minds, and virginities of women everywhere, he sets out to write a literary work of great social and moral significance.
He has only one problem: a lack of source material.
But on this particular Friday night, as Dixon stews in lager and a near-criminal state of ambition, fate delivers exactly what he needs. He just has to be willing to, eh, transgress a few boundaries.
I received a copy of this book from book sirens in exchange for an honest review
To be honest, the only reason why I read this book was for the title. It grabbed my attention and I just couldn’t let it go.
With that being said, this book is not for everyone. If the title made you smile or laugh then go ahead and read away. If you frowned or did not care for the tile, please pass…..
Moving on.
Great writing with a twist of dark sense of humor. I loved it. Yes there were times I thought it was dumb but more times than not I was laughing out loud and page turning. The author knows how to grab your attention and keep it.
If you’re ready for a fun light read. Here you go.
A darkly amusing page-turner of a book. The plot, while frantic, is compelling – as much for the unpredictable storyline as for the lead character, Dixon, who merges as a morally reprehensible, yet irritatingly likeable, narcissist. His gripping romp through the streets of Cape Town is packaged as a raw, energetic and dark comedy that offends almost as much as it entertains. If, like me, you’re a fan of the graphic style of Irvine Welsh’s Trainspotting, then this should be right up your alley.
What an exciting new author! I highly enjoyed Naude’s first novel - satire with a bite and no holy cows, offering a gripping page turner with numerous laugh out loud moments. I finished it in a day!
The title grabbed my attention immediately and the read is absolutely a joyful one. I caught myself laughing out loud and gasping audibly while reading Naudé's book. Great writing and a dark sense of humour. As the plot unfolds, the story line flows well yet with great suspension. surely it is not a book for everyone; however, if the title put a smile on your face, then it is a guaranteed good time.
I did not know what to expect, and the title had me somewhat concerned, but fortunately, this was only an indication of the pace and turn of events to come. The author has a way of grabbing your attention by merging events and vividly colouring in the scenes with what one could only describe as dark humour crayons. I can highly recommend reading the book. Looking forward to the next one!
