    As dodgy English towns go, Mangel doesn’t look like much; but it’s everything to Royston Blake. In Mangel, Blake is head doorman at Hoppers Wine Bar and Bistro, drives a Ford Capri 2.8i, and generally has no trouble getting laid. On any given day, he can walk the streets of his town knowing he’s respected by one and all. That is, until a rumor begins to circulate that Blake’s "lost his bottle", and everything goes to hell. Even his best mates, Fin and Legsy, have heard the talk that the formerly hard-living bruiser has gone soft, lost his edge, and become a pushover in a town where he can ill afford it.

    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

    No, I just couldn't get past the horrible grammar, It is worse than the ghetto ebonics
    I really hope that they aren't that uneducated backwards in their real life


    If you’ve listened to books by Charlie Williams before, how does this one compare?

    No and if he writes like this one it is my last


    Did the narration match the pace of the story?

    Narration was acceptable but the language was so incorrect I just couldn't take it


    Do you think Deadfolk needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

    Maybe some liked it but don't write one for me


    Any additional comments?

    Story isn't bad just the really poor grammar, after listening to great English writers this is a completely different level All LOW
