Summary: Stay away from this book.
Comment: I was attracted to this book by a magazine's reference to it as a book capturing the feel of London. Nah. What a waste. Dumb and dry fiction with cardboard characters shuffled chaotically by the pretending but never delivering author.
Like the main hero's plan to visit each and every London's street this book idea may have sounded cool, but the book itself plain and unfunny.
The only laughing matter here is author's constant helpless trying to imitate Martin Amis-style cool wit. It never ever comes close to it, being barely amusing at its best.
Half a star for the good title. Let it be the only part you happen to read.
Rating: 5
Summary: A dark delight!
Comment: Bleeding London is one of the quirkiest, darkest and funniest novels I have ever read! (That says a lot, for I have read thousands of novels.) It focuses on various characters whose experiences in London are both sinister and funny. Mick, Judy and Stuart are quite different, but are somehow brought together in strange ways. They all have a different take on London -- Londoners feeling foreign in their natural habitat while out-of-towners see it as an exciting and daring challenge.
Nicholson does a great job with the description of a big city. As a New York City native, I am able to identify with the story line and the dark message the author is sending. The backdrop of London is different from all of the other British novels I have read -- it shows a more realistic view of the city.
Thought provoking and darkly funny, Bleeding London should be read by those who enjoy a unique literary experience.
Rating: 5
Summary: Quirky characters and plot
Comment: I really enjoyed this book and loved learning about the sides of a great city that I didn't know about...very entertaining.
