Gored, Jon A: ~Dreamers Of The Day

This book is the ultimate collision of the Rock 'n' Roll lifestyle with lots of money and even more weirdness. Musician Pete Astor writes a number which is so good that it gets his ass fired off a tour and out of his band. His recording company is worried about being sued by the grasping relatives of impressionable people who take his brand of Black Magic Rock too seriously, and not prepared to take any risks.

Astor has allies, however. One of them provides material support for his schemes to go his own way and create trouble, the rest are more than willing to join in the trouble-making. But on that front, there are people with their own agendas, who are eager to make trouble for Pete Astor. This is a big book [500+ pages] with a whole lot happening in it. And it's wrapped around a whole philosophy of life. Check it out!

Voted provisional Book Of The Century, with due regard for the fact that the 20th Century still has the rest of the year 2000 to run.

Turner, Philip: ~Storm Tide

The story begins with a couple of introductory pages of history from the time of the Spanish Armada [1588 and all that] onwards, then gets on with a robbery in modern times [well, 1984 - when the book was written].

In fact, the book is all about two sets of people, who are out of the main stream of life for one reason or another. Each group has its preoccupations, and the activities of Jeremy Haig and his friends become of interest to the guys who carried out the robbery - the Fantony brothers.

Some readers have expressed surprise at how the interactions between Haig and Barry Fantony progress. They report being satisfied with the outcome when they reached the end of the book but surprised to find out that what they were expecting to happen never does.

But that's life all over.
