![]() Timmy in the films has a 'cheeky chappie' innocence to him and sure he goes through a lot of women but there's a sense of fun to it. Timmy Lea in this book is a horrible racist, homophobe and has no respect for women. Unfortunately, as I continued to read, the laughs got less and less but the nastiness of the book got more and more. During the early laughs I kind of dismissed the casual racism and misogyny. It's a long time since I laughed as much whilst reading a book. The first few pages had quite a lot of laughs in it and there are some cracking one liners in here.
