Description

Andreas is a German post-grad who looks like Hitler.
Rose is the fifth tallest woman in Britain.

Their tumultuous, bizarre love affair plays out through a prisoner's correspondence with the heartbroken Alexandra.

And as Andreas' peculiar tragedy unveils, Alexandra begins to find solitude in an uncanny world of lookalikes and murder.



Young stand-up comedian Mark Watson takes us on a clever romp through the dubious world of the lookalike business, where no one is as they seem.

About the Author
Since he burst on to the comedy scene in his early twenties, Mark Watson has won numerous awards for his stand-up routines and been nominated for a Perrier and a South Bank Award. He has also made comedy history at the Edinburgh Festival by performing for 24 hours, solo and without a break. His first novel, Bullet Points, was published in 2004. Mark Watson lives in London.

Reviews
Packed with brilliant observations and sharp one-liners, but it is also a surprising look at the nuts and bolts of comedy * The Times *
Eloquence and wit ...shine from this gently peculiar story ... an absolute gem * Metro *
Watson is a gifted comic writer unafraid to juggle material many comic writers wouldn't touch... an intelligent, humane and desperately funny tale * Independent on Sunday *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
