About this listen

Carl Harper, a teacher living in South Dakota, has done just about everything possible to escape his past. Unknown to his friends, his colleagues, and his students, Carl was once the depraved frontman of the needlessly controversial British punk band Stillborn. When Jessica Millar turns up to her Saturday detention, fresh from her vacation in England, she is wearing one of Stillborn's T-shirts, and slowly but surely the rickety shack of lies and self-deception Carl has made from himself crumbles to the ground.

What follows is a story of terrible music, worse drugs, attempted murderer, successful manslaughter, and plenty of bad language. What follows, in short, is a story that most certainly should not be shared with an impressionable 16-year-old girl and the consequences for his little confessional prove dire.

This is a clever story, just the sort of book to attract younger readers, or indeed, reluctant younger readers. There are memorable characters whose relationships as the hodgepodge members of an 80s punk rock band seem believable. Harry Frost's narration is engaging, relaxed and well paced. He seems to enter into all the characters effortlessly, even though an extensive variety of accents is required. Though he has a fairly low voice, even the female characterisations are credible.

A clever story, beautifully read
