One of the few books I laughed out loud at and still relevant today given America's inability to curb gun laws and the increasing popularity of reality TV. It takes a while to get used to the language and the style of writing, but stick with it...your patience will be rewarded.

About the author
Born in Australia, DBC Pierre spent a lavish upbringing in Mexico learning the tools of his undoing. He undid himself on three continents during his twenties, spending his thirties in London and the West Indies. Having plied a piecemeal trade since childhood as designer, photographer, film-maker and cartoonist, his first novel, Vernon God Little, erupted just before his fortieth birthday. It went on to win the MAN Booker Prize, the Whitbread First Novel Award and the Bollinger Everyman Woodhouse Award for Comic Writing in 2003. His second novel, Ludmila's Broken English, was published in 2006. He lives in County Leitrim, Ireland.
