... is like a day without sunshine! I was fascinated by Chris Child's recent update of "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" ("Hec/kle"). It was a great read with lots of new twists of a classic plot. Didn't think Child could do such a virtuoso performance again, certainly not so soon, but he has, he really has!"Screwge" is a brilliant 21st Century  version of Dickens' "Christmas Carol." Like "Hec/kle," it's not the previous book in modern dress and modern settings, but rather new takes on timeless concepts and timeless emotions in well-drawn characters.Just fascinating reading, especially when you need something nourishing after all the boring celebrity books that are inflicted on us at this time of year. Read it over the holidays and you'll be glad you had such a great alternative to the rubbish on TV.
