Everything I have come to expect. If you enjoyed the end monologues in New World Order, this is exactly the sort of thing you will enjoy listening to.

Repugnant

Classic frankie energy distilled into a book loved it from start to end. Laughed so hard in some places I may have had a break from reality myself?

Hilarious and strangely feels like it could happen!!!

Exactly what I imagine the future to be, thanks Frankie and Charlie for confirming what my now dead grandchildren are telling me isn’t complete bollox.

Perfect

a hopeful and optimistic tale of the future. Not entirely convinced Charlie Skelton is a real person and maybe a stand in for Frankies early on set dementia

sounds pretty good looking foward to it
