## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Wicked Ways
  

*by G***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 June 2012*

This is a wonderfully sharp and funny book, as blackly humorous as In Bruges. Which is fitting, as Bruges is the town to which the Unspeakable Skipton has fled. Part pander, part poverty stricken great novelist manque, Skipton is a splendidly monstrous creation whose base stratagems inevitably lead to his own comeuppance. A minor masterpiece, Hansford Johnson's book should be far better known

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Skipton makes you cringe...and laugh.
  

*by E***O on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 June 2015*

I was completely enchanted by the ghastly old fraud Skipton. I was reminded of one or two 'literary' men I came across in my youth, who had supposedly written some earth-shattering novel in the past which one had never heard of. He is a brilliant creation, and one could almost see his eyes lighting up when he smelt money in the shape of new visitors to the Belgian town where he lived. The catastrophic tantrums with which he arrogantly alienated those on whom he was dependent and  which reduced him to operate almost as a pimp warmed the cockles of my heart. But to get the full impact of the self-serving almost delusional would-be writer you have to read this.Pamela Handsford Johnson is unjustly semi-forgotten - she should be more widely read.

### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars
