About halfway through this, so far so good. Very much different from "And the Ass Saw Angel." Where that novel mirrored the feeling of Nick's"The Firstborn is Dead" era music, "The Death of Bunny Munro" reads like a literary equivelant of "Grinderman." There's a real sense of humor at work and a swaggering naughtiness that makes it light years away from the impressive but over reaching first novel. Think early Martin Amisor Irvine Welsh.
Nick is a busy man.

I read an extract of it somewhere and wasn't at all impressed, but I have to admit it works well as performance:

I liked the chapter in that journal, Loops, quite a lot. (Probably the same extract?) We got a copy in work but my boss took it :(
