What a tosser! And that’s the kindest thing I can say about Major Jeremy Billycock-Smythe.
You’ve probably heard how I wanted to be in the Funny Capers DownUnder series. Well, this book’s a different kettle of fish altogether. I wouldn’t be in it for quids.
It was hard enough having to read it, just so I could recommend it.
Only … well … I can’t.
Most of the characters are lovely.
But the title character? He’s a right pain in the you-know-what, and his head’s as big as a bucket.
He’s cornered most of the “isms”, chief among them racism and sexism.
That’s a real problem when he rescues the wrong people from a prisoner-of-war camp, and all of them are foreigners and half of them turn out to be women.
The plot thickens when he’s forced to take responsibility for them.
As I said, I wouldn’t bother reading it—
unless you enjoy watching pompous blokes come gloriously unstuck.
You can find Major BS comes to the end of his Rope as an ebook on Amazon, Kobo, Apple Books, or Barnes & Noble. If you prefer the smell of paper and ink, the paperbacks are on Amazon too.
