Reviews: Fruit (1)
“Insanely funny”
(Paperback)
Absolutely insane and hilarious. I snorted my way through this brilliant debut novel (laughter not drugs obviously).
Adam is back in Britain after an enforced stay in Spain. He's looking for a nice, peaceful nothing of a job that'll keep him in funds and out of bother. A position selling fruit in a lay-by? Couldn't be duller right?
So wrong. What follows is an utterly bonkers tale of hooky fruit, New Forest weirdos, terrifying families, Police, more fruit, Wimbledon, a psychotic fruit-flinging boss, an even more worrying amount of violence, yet more fruit and a suave, sophisticated baguette-wielding French hitman.
Not sure what else you need except to say that the peaceful summer job lazing about and scoffing the odd strawberry soon descends into nighttime raids in dairy farms, more strawberries than you've ever believed existed and Adam moving up the company chain to a level that could get him injured, jailed or even killed - who knew fruit could be so dangerous.
I loved this book. If you don't mind a bit of violence, swearing and crimes against strawberries then I beg you to read this. I think this has to be my favourite summer read ever. Thankyou Will Heron.
Highly recommended.
