John Inman's Greatest Hits by John Inman

If anyone ever got what was coming to them it was here. This book possible has the best comeuppance of any book I have ever read. Fortunately you get so caught in the story this ceases to be an issue :-)ĭid you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? To start off with I thought I might find Tommy O'Brian's voice irritating or perhaps it was the way the story is written in the first person and with the world's most annoying Chihuahua! There is also a slight obsession with poop. What about Tommy O'Brien’s performance did you like? So many moments but the chicken shed keeps coming back to me 'Why did the chicken cross the road, to get away from me!' What was one of the most memorable moments of Shy? I haven't read the print version (stupid question Audible!) Would you consider the audio edition of Shy to be better than the print version? Nothing too crazy or over the top, good at the pacing and mostly letting the story tell itself. I thought the narrator, Tommy O’Brien, did a nice job with the narration. So… most of me simply loved this and found the quirkiness of the characters (especially the judgmental Pedro) to be hilarious, but I was a bit shocked by how Stanley was portrayed and a little put off by his demise. Sure, he was a dick, but really – he’s dead! And he’s Frank’s brother and Frank is a sweetie. I was sad for his death and even sadder that no one else was sad.

I would have appreciated just a little bit of explanation how Joe (super awesome dad) and Frank (the nicest guy in the world) could be related to the psycho. Even his own father thought he was a dick. Why, why, why would Tom still be Jerry’s friend? It sounds like he was an idiot who dumped a wonderful guy (Tom) for a psychopath! Second, Stanley went from your basic home-wrecker to deranged, druggy, greedy psycho pretty quickly.

First, the fact that Jerry was with him and he was such an obvious dick made me question Tom’s judgment- especially since apparently their “marriage” was dismissed so easily and casually by Jerry. But… I really, really, really didn’t like the way Stanley was handled. I thought it suited their characters and fit in with their own desperate need to find someone to be an anchor in their lives. Second, I thought the two MCs were hilarious and sweet and so cute together it almost gave me a cavity! Third, I didn’t mind their insta-love one bit. He makes it so easy to just jump right in to the mix and feel like you are part of the scene. First, I love John Inman’s writing style.

I have some mixed feelings about this story.
