Produktbeschreibung

Fame is the worst drug of all

Sid strange had been something of a punk rock icon in his day. Unfortunately, his day was twenty-five years ago. The former singer-songwriter of English new wave punk band Tactical Chunder, had always been a slave to the adulation of fans and the thrill of live audiences. But now, at the age of fifty, he has a shedload of money but no recording contract. The only remaining clue to his once prestigious talent is a reality TV show that makes the appalling dross on other TV networks look like Oscar-winning material. Worse still, an old enemy is out for revenge, intent on ending the Englishman's career once and for all. But then, an old film surfaces with incriminating footage that he can use to his advantage. It could change everything. The only problem is that to get the film, Sid must persuade his old band to get back together, and given that he dumped them twenty-five years ago to go solo, they hate his f***ing guts! Top reader reviews ★★★★★ - "Over The Hill is a thoroughly entertaining, irreverent, light hearted, fast paced and earthy tale of underhand showbiz dealings and personal redemption. Have a read, you won't be disappointed." ★★★★★ - "This is the funniest book I've read in ages! The writing style reminds me of Rob Radcliffe's lad lit books, so if you are a fan of those you'll definitely love this book. Well done Damian Vargas, you had me literally in tears of laughter!" ★★★★★ - "Loved this book it has a fast pace and fabulously written characters. I think it was originally a screenplay and I would definitely pay to see that ending with its twists and turns on screen. Could be a book club favourite I just wanted to talk about it to anyone who would listen!" ★★★★★ - "This could have been a movie -- it SHOULD be a movie! This book is funny, irreverent and has a lot of heart. There are some very touching moments in the book, and let's not forget the laugh-out-loud parts too."
