Description

Scotland's Highland & Island Arts undertook a critique of this book. Beneath are some of their conclusions. This is a comic and ribald novel of 120,000 words, definitely a page-turner, firmly within a comic tradition, maybe somewhere between Flann O'Brien and Tom Sharpe. It is well-written and enjoyable, though at times hardly politically correct, with such unlikely police constables as the London Met Police duo MacNab and MacSporran, who aren't very pc PC's. Like London itself, all life is here. The book details the mis-adventures of two maverick Scots constables They are not rebels without a cause however and the pair persevere to see their shenanigans vindicated at the end. The novel is an almost burlesque tour-de-force but it leans heavily on humour, ranging from farce to the stand-up comedy of Billy Bagman. The humour is relentless but it was never too predictable or too contrived. Much of the humour rests with the relationship between MacNab and MacSporran, and between these chuckle brothers and their more serious colleagues. The humour is not for the politically correct or the faint-hearted, but is of High chuckle/chortle factor throughout. There is a lot going on here. There is a mayor and his wife, a Divisional Commander and his wife, a police superintendent and his wife, a ribald comedian, the anarchic duo of Harry and Hamish and various supporting characters. There is sex (too much and two little) cross-dressing, plenty of farting and spicy food. This involves trips to Blackpool, undercover work in an Irish community, farcical Masonic jiggery-pokery and some good old Scottish dourness. It is not so much a Road Novel as a Revenge Novel, where Hamish and Harry set out to right wrongs and restore the natural order. With all this going on, the author kept it all ticking over and got us all there in the end (no pun intended!) It takes some skill to keep everything on track this way. Conclusion: It was enjoyable reading. Yes, at times it took us to the edge of political correctness and "good taste." The book definitely fills a niche and has a style of its own (previous quote: "somewhere between Flann O'Brien and Tom Sharpe." It is highly visual. The writer should be encouraged to explore this book's possibilities within film, radio, TV and drama. It definitely has radio possibilities, owing to its superb and racy dialogue. The book is publishable. The writer should have faith that he has a sure grasp of comedy and farce, both of which elude many writers. A natural gift is suggested here: a natural storyteller's gift.
