The Right Members Club

By: Louis Urbanowski

Narrated by: David Gurney

British politics faces its extinction event.

Political satire for a country that has forgotten how to laugh together.

For fans of The Thick of It. Disgraced MPs saving the country. Yep, seriously.

The Right Members Club has existed for over four hundred years to protect British politics from one thing: competence. Membership is reserved for disgraced MPs. Mark Fallow fits perfectly. Newly elected, immediately ruined, nationally humiliated.

Then everything breaks.

A pensioner’s death shocks the country. The Prime Minister falls. Jackson Pierce becomes Leader of the United Kingdom. He is different. He hates the Establishment and everything it protects. And the country starts to work as he starts abolishing Parliament.

The Right Members Club faces a threat it does not understand. A government the public actually loves. Mark Fallow is pulled deeper into the truth behind Jackson Pierce, behind Parliament, behind the system itself.

As his marriage collapses and Westminster unravels, he is forced to ask uncomfortable questions. Who is Jackson Pierce? Does Britain even need Parliament? And what is wrong with the bacon?

If you have ever wondered where disgraced MPs go (really?), then this is the book for you.

Entertaining even if you know nothing about parliament

The Right Members Club kept surprising me, I couldn't predict what was going to happen next at any moment. Great character development of a surprising number of memorable people despite being a pretty quick listen. The narration was very well done as well, enjoyed the non-exaggerated tonal shifts for female character and different accents to help differentiate as I listened. I thought about posting a favorite quote, but I think most of my favorite quotes were too cheeky for me not to worry that Amazon wouldn't actually keep my review up. Highly recommend.

Need a laugh to get through these trying times?

Reading is political. It can also be prescient, cautionary, and hilarious. The Right Member’s Club by Louis Urbanowski is a political comedy written in a time when we need to laugh, especially at the expense of those acting as our fearless leaders.

If you look at my review history you will find exactly one book in the political comedy genre. Yes, it’s this book. The fact that I don’t typically choose from this menu did not detract from my enjoyment. Urbanowski provides us with an everyman in Mark Fallow who is grounded in his good intentions and his love for his wife. He is relatable even in absurd situations. We never quit pulling for him even when he should have stopped pulling himself.

Will you find more political comedies among my reviews in the future? Not until Louis publishes The Right Members Club 2. In the meanwhile, I’ll have a story that's darker to appreciate, something with zombies.

David Gurney’s narration was on point. Every character had their own voice and each was a perfect fit.
