Sinossi
Tundrum, l'ascella di Antrim, nel nord della costa settentrionale del nord dell'Irlanda del Nord, un luogo dove il cielo aveva costantemente il colore di un paio di jeans stone-washed molto vecchi, sbattuti e risciacquati infinite volte, e dove l'unico pub, il Primo e ultimo, era messaggero dell'Armageddon, e dove il Bible Shop era la libreria' E qui, tra tutti i luoghi possibili, troviamo Israel Armstrong, di nuovo al suo posto in questa indefinita cittadina abbandonata da Dio, seduto nel bibliobus, parcheggiato in uno dei vari punti di sosta, a non fare nulla, se non distribuire storie criminali sui delinquenti del luogo, libri scritti da teppisti locali e biografie redatte dalle mogli dei delinquenti del luogo, a godersi nel frattempo tutte le solite bonarie ironie e le facezie dei suoi lettori regolari.

Israel Armstrong is a bit of loser. He’s almost 30 and living in Northern Island, in a converted chicken coup, wishing he was back in London with Gloria. Except Gloria dumped him, presumably in the previous book. Do not take this as a crime novel otherwise you’ll be seriously disappointed. The book Leggi tutto
Israel Armstrong sets out to find the daughter of a local political who disappeared after he loaned her one of the 'Unshelved' from his mobile library. The 'Unshelved' are books that are not considered appropriate for young impressionable minds and Israel receives a lot of flack for loaning a young
This was a pleasant read, with the humor arising from the cultural misunderstandings of the neurotic, uselessly literate main character and the natives of the small, rural town where he has somehow become marooned. The fact that israel Armstrong is a Jewish vegetarian in an environment where no one
Reading this book is like reading a screen play except without any suspense, enlightenment, excitement, or fun. I did actually finish it but it never improved. The ending was quite a let down. The main character is a lay-about, dump on everyone else major jerk and I couldn't stand him. There was def Leggi tutto
As a Jewish, vegetarian bookmobile librarian, I can tell you that Ian Sansom is "right on target." He is clearly familiar with bureaucracy and librarianship. The humor is just wonderful; I can't wait until the next title is released. Mr. Sansom, Please hurry!!!
