First published in London by Hodder & Stoughton in 1992. Hardback with DJ. I have become a depraved and obsessive fan of Geoff Nicholson! I was compelled to read all his titles and each one has pleasantly surprised me. I don't know how the mind of this man works but it is scary how he can, with such dark humour and hysterical grotesqueness, manipulate his plots and characters. In "The Food Chain" he does this once again. I literally was wincing as I read it. I have been to movies where I was afraid to look at the screen but was so morbidly tansfixed by what was going on that I couldn't completely turn away. This was how I felt about the entire book. In short, if you love a good read and wish you could tap into the twisted side you know you must have deep down somewhere, this book is for you. Then again, that goes for any of Nicholson's works.
