Ludmila's Broken English - DBC Pierre

I was disappointed with the second effort from DBC Pierre. I was captivated by Vernon in Pierre's Man Booker Prize winning first effort, "Vernon God Little" and expected high standards from his second outing.

The story of Lumila's Broken English carries two seperate story-lines through most of the book. It is only towards the end of the story that we are shown how the two stories are entangled. It seems to me to be a rather wordy effort for what is a seemingly simple story.

I am fortunate enough to own an autograhed edition of this book, and to me that's the best bit. Lovers of Vernon God Little, steer clear.
