Keep Away From Those Ferraris edition by Pat Fitzpatrick Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Very enjoyable read. You will like this if you like; fiction, news, humour, sex, reality, banking, finance, crime (it's nearly the same thing isn't it). It's thriller right to the end too. Was Ireland really like this in the noughties, probably not…. it was worse.
This book was gripping once I read the first few pages. It is one of those books that you won't put down until you are finished as the author (whom I look forward to reading more in the future) keeps you on edge. It is classically the Celtic tiger era with great Irish humour throughout . I found it the perfect book to let my thoughts float away after a hard days work !! Very enjoyable
Taking place in the Noughties in the post Celtic Tiger financial boom, Noel Byrne is something of a minor celebrity, delivering news of economic woes as a financial reporter- think a better looking Robert Peston injected with a good dose of Irish charm. Byrne is cruising along quite nicely, not short of female attention, and plenty of work with the ever deteriorating state of Ireland’s financial climate and some high profile bank sell offs on the horizon. then old friend Johnny Ferrari comes bouncing back into his life, having kidnapped a prominent member of a nauseating boy band, and through a series of less than scrupulous actions, entwining his old mate the hapless ‘Byrnser’ into a life threatening plot reliant on Byrne manipulating the Irish public (and their wallets) through his TV reports, to make a financial killing.
The plot takes in the best and worst of not only the financial meltdown but is not above having a great poke of fun at modern celebrity culture and reality TV, leading to some genuinely laugh out loud moments. Indeed, even allowing for the slightly rambling nature of the economic descriptions, the book is infused with an infectious charm through Fitzpatrick’s steady characterisation and the appeal of his characters to the reader, be they good or bad. I loved the hapless Noel, and the skilful manipulation by both Johnny Ferrari and Johnny’s wideboy father Cosmo, and the array of femme fatales who drift into Noel’s sphere clouding his judgement further. Johnny is a brilliant character, louche, charming and thoroughly rotten, whose attitude to life is that you’ll be dead long enough, and I liked the way he and Noel interacted throughout. As Noel discovers the extent to which his own parents are investing in the whole HiberBank scam, and finds himself in a gunman’s sights, the tension ratchets up- is there any way out of this for our dynamic reporter?
Overall, this was a thoroughly enjoyable read, with a good sense of fun. Genuinely humorous and good knockabout fun, with a nice satirical eye on the Irish financial situation and popular culture. Good craic indeed.
Describes drug usage at party as if it is the norm and nothing wrong with it , first alcohol, then cocaine, ectasy, what more do you need for a cardiac arest
What a excample being set for other people , what if it is your child being exposed to this scenario
First this book appealed to me because it was about the economic rise and fall of Ireland along with a nifty mystery.. It was fresh and direct. I would like more from this writer.
A terrific read -- funny and full of surprises. In fact, it's hard to believe this book is a first novel -- yes, it's that good! Great movie material, too!
Well done! Now please write another one, Pat Fitzpatrick!
I just finished reading Pat Fitzpatrick's new book. I really enjoyed it. I bought it out of curiosity and had in read over 3 nights. I think it captures the mood of the country just before the economy crashed very well. The plot ties in with the financial crisis, and anyone who has lived through will be able to relate. The pace of the book good and keeps you tuning the pages. While the themes are universal it is based on an Irish situation and has irish humour running through it, which I enjoyed. I have no problem recommending this book, and is good value for the price.
