Review: The worst nightmare
Rating: 5 out of 5

An excellent, catchy opening, followed by just enough speculation about what really happened to keep us hooked. I particularly liked the list of suggested possibilities, including that Charles Journeyman is actually 'an inter-dimensional reptilian humanoid.' This is a book which amuses as well as interests. Charles' chat with Ken, his interaction with the barmaid, his telephone conversation with James Wharton and the request for his autograph in the Chinese restaurant, all maintain a light, amusing atmosphere, while moving the story on with enough speed to keep us reading. The interview with Jackie, and its outcome, are particularly good. Kenneth Wayne's style is excellent, with short sentences and chapters making for a fast pace, realistic dialogue, and an individual narrative voice. This book is marked for success.Gerry McCullough,Belfast Girls.
