Flight from Deathrow

by Harry Hill

Harry Hill's debut novel is a brilliantly funny adventure through a surreal world, where pigs might not fly, but they can get their own newspaper column and reality TV show. When Harry's offered a gig at a gonk factory in Leeds, he leaps at the chance. It's the perfect opportunity to get away from his flatmate Prince Edward, and the twenty pygmies renting space in his sock drawer.

This book was amazing! If you love random, and you like thinking you have a short memory, then this is great!Its like when your nan talks to you and trails off. Its great, buy it!BUY ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Makes james joyce look like david baddiel

This book... where can i begin..? It starts badly, trails off towards the middle & the less said about the ending the better. Really, it truly is terrible. It's just a load of random crap involving the UK's g-list celebs.It seems to me as if Harry Hill took all the garbage out of his brain and dumped it in this cesspool of a novel. The characterisation is so poor that he has to resort to naming celebrities; the ideas aren't funny, but, it has it's moments.For example, alan titchmarsh's appearance is quite humourous, & the pig was alright, but it's overlong & the only reason i read it was because the dice told me to.

Logic? What's that??

Harry Hill...Where to begin...?!! For a start I guess most of you reading this won't be British. Harry Hill used to be a doctor before he decided one day to quit medicine and take up stand-up comedy. A perfectly standard logical decision really.If you thought Monty Python was irreverent - you ain't see nothin' yet!Harry desribes in his initimable style the journey of the main character as he meets various people, from Showbiz agents promoting their stars, to theiving pygmie students, to the leader of the Chinese Communist party on his way to Tower records to buy the latest Status Quo album.I highly recommend this book!!!Enjoy. Peace out.
