Remember my boss at the time, whooped and hollered like celebrating a Paul Smyth 90th minute equaliser, when we heard on the radio, he got a long custodial sentence.
A lot of literary alumni, weren't that keen on his formulaic story telling, but whatever the merits or not, he was massively successful.
Definitely a marmite person, and clearly wasn't whiter than white, and many would have not agreed with his politics, but was a person that always managed to bounce back and left his own legacy.
RIP |  |

I have to say that I never read any of his books but I heard one adapted on Radio 4 and it was one of the most cliched piles of crap I've ever heard.
Sorry, but there you go. | | | |

I'd have to agree.
The man was a total wrong 'un from the off. Rules and laws are mere inconveniences for his ilk, and are for the plebs.
A total chancer, and everything else beginning with 'c'!! |  |

Terrible writer, ridiculous fantasist, and he destroyed poor Monica Coughlan's life. | | | |

This all happened when I was very young, so to me he was always just a punchline that I had no context on.
Looked him up on wikipedia - one of his books sold 345 million copies???????? wtaf, that's like bible numbers |  | | |

I'd wager, he wrote that!
I'd also suggest, the number cited is the total number of books he sold. Otherwise we'd be quoting it alongside the Bible, as you say, and Mein Kampf. | |

Plenty of other men had a role in destroying that poor woman’s life. | | | |

Great author?????
Pulp fiction. |  |
| "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the Earth all one's lifetime." (Mark Twain)

First amongst equals had to be rewritten for the USA audience as they wouldn’t have understood multi party politics.
Basically one of the characters was removed and his story line spread amongst the other candidates, how thick are those fùckers?
That’s up there with the Madness of king George not being called the madness of king George the 3rd as they would have wondered where he he first two films were.
The first one I read was Kane and Abel, actually thought it was brilliant.
My Dad had all his books and always passed them on to me when he had finished. | |

Apparently, his new book was loosely based around the trials and tribulations of a second generation north African footballer, with a suspected questionable attitude to preparation, struggling to break into a second tier English football team, despite his prodigious skills and haircut.
'Train and able' will surely be a cult classic. | |
