This vast, imaginative satire of the coming apocalypse is made even more enjoyable by Boyle’s narration. Can’t wait to have forgotten most of it so I can listen again

Hugely satisfying brutal satire

Frankie Boyle delivers a masterpiece of creativity and unconventional storytelling. His offbeat humour is woven into every paragraph and almost no section of society or faction of politics is spared from his lambasting spotlight

vivid and imaginative storytelling
