Michael Turner is still fighting the demons of his childhood. He grew up alone; an orphan lost in a maze of institutions and foster homes, surviving on dreams of success, and of finding a place where he was wanted and could belong. Now, in his early twenties, he is at last beginning to escape his past. He has a loving fiancee and is taking the first steps in a promising legal career. And when, unexpectedly, a powerful father figure enters his life, it seems that all Michael's childhood dreams are being realised. But dreams come with a price. Michael has allowed a dangerous cuckoo to enter the nest. One who is plagued by his own demons, who can manipulate the needs and vulnerabilities of others to dreadful effect.

Vendeur : Crappy Old Books, Barry, Royaume-Uni
Etat : Used. Welcome to a world that promises to be more tangled than a Christmas tree?s worth of fairy lights after a tumultuous night at the pub! ?The Puppet Show? by Patrick Redmond, published in 2001 by Coronet, is not just a book; it?s an experience?a literary equivalent of a three-legged race in a field of slippery mud. The title may suggest whimsical entertainment, but prepare yourself for a narrative that twists and turns more than a pantomime villain?s monologue. Why, you ask, would one venture into this curious tome? Perhaps you?re a connoisseur of the eccentric, or maybe you just fancy a read that might resemble a jigsaw puzzle missing half its pieces. Whatever your motivation, you?ll find yourself at the mercy of Redmond?s craft, where the puppets might just pull the strings of your sanity while you ponder your life decisions. Here, every character seems more marionette than human, each with enough emotional baggage to fill an entire theatre?s worth of props. Imagine a plot that unfolds like a badly-done origami crane; it promises to be beautiful but ends up resembling a confused paper airplane. This narrative dances precariously on the edge of absurdity. You may be left wondering if you?re reading a thriller or merely peering into the curious mind of a writer who has just discovered the wonders of caffeine and existential dread. A cast of characters so quirky they could form an offbeat circus. Puppet metaphors that may or may not be a clever commentary on modern life. Plot twists that feel like they?ve been pulled from a hat?possibly one belonging to a mad magician. Unexpected moments that might provoke laughter, tears, or both in equal measure. Conversations that seem to stretch longer than the queue for the loo at a music festival. As you delve deeper into this curious creation, you may find yourself questioning reality, sanity, and the wisdom of choosing second-hand books with dubious cover art. Is this the author?s commentary on the fragility of life, or are we merely observing a playwright?s fever dream? Only time will tell?if you can hang on long enough through the tangled plotlines. Condition: This particular copy is used, which means it has lived a vibrant life filled with dog-eared pages, the occasional coffee stain, and perhaps even a few existential crises of its own. Expect that the spine may be more flexible than your plans for the weekend, and that some margins have been lovingly annotated by previous readers?each note possibly a cryptic clue or a heartfelt plea for help. In a world filled with polished bestsellers and predictable narratives, ?The Puppet Show? stands out like a crooked doll at a yard sale: disheveled, yet oddly charming. So, if you?re ready to embrace the delightful chaos of second-hand literature, look no further than Crappy Old Books, where the only guarantee is that you?ll experience something far more entertaining than an evening spent scrolling through social media. Dust off your reading glasses and prepare for a journey through the unconventional, as Patrick Redmond leads you through a landscape that?s anything but ordinary. Just remember to hold onto your marionette strings?who knows where they might lead you next? THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE. N° de réf. du vendeur 552
