There is something wonderfully freeing about watching awful people behaving badly. Both Simon Kennedy and Chuck Atkins are hilarious and deplorable in equal measure.

The appalling things they say about each other and the people in their lives and the ludicrous levels of ego on display captivated me all the way through all 18 chapters of the book.

For those that like their comedy unfiltered, their protagonists disgraceful and unrepentant, and their golf strewed with discussions about sex and money, this is a must-read.

One of the best compliments I can give is that Simon and Chuck’s snipping at each reminded of Bottom’s Eddie Hitler and Richard “Richie” Richard exchanging barbs. It’s one of the funniest things I have read this year.
