Shoes With Rockets's Blurbs |
About me:
London Pub Reviews, published by Shoes With Rockets, features 44 reviews of London pubs, each of which ends in some form of disaster.
"This insane book is full of acutely observed details.." - Dazed & Confused
"Good comic writing is notoriously hard to achieve. 'London Pub Reviews' has at least three belly-laughs on every page - more than I can say for any recent novel.." - Time Out
"Paul Ewen may be mad...this tour of drinks and drunkenness gives a much more accurate impression of London pub life than some drab star-ratingy guide to ales and facilities." - David Quantick, The Word magazine
"'London Pub Reviews' is one of the best books about London we've read for some time...funny, informative, wholly original and wonderfully written." - Fridaycities London
"..the reviews are written by the kind of person Alan Partridge would describe as a mentalist...laugh out loud funny..." - Book Munch
"Paul Ewen is the funniest new writer I have read in years. Join him on his one man Campaign for Surreal Ale." - Toby Litt
"London Pub Reviews is a work of comic genius - this is essential reading for anybody who enjoys going to the pub. You, for example." - Dan Rhodes
"Paul Ewen has given voice to that perennial figure who haunts the margins of all our lives: the pub weirdo." - Tom McCarthy
"A surrealist's dream, a landlord's nightmare!" - Steven Hall
