Title: Palace
Pier
Author: Keith Waterhouse
Genre: humor
Rating: 
I
can’t quite explain what is wrong with this book, but something just isn’t
right. I see the humor in the book, it is even my humor, but still…I don’t
know.
What
the book supposed to be about is: Chris Duffy, a has-been writer in the autumn
of his life is in his way trying to get published again. What I read however is:
Chris Duffy, a writer of age who is always drunk, irritating to his fellow
humans and self-absorbed is trying to get published or at least famous again all
means necessary, even if that means, getting his hands on a unpublished script
of his favorite writer and publish it under his own name. Maybe such a main
character can be humorous, for me he was just annoying. In all his
self-inflicted misery he couldn’t count on my sympathy.
Sorry
Duffy, you’re on your own!
