Review title: Ignore Makepeace
Product review: Readers and potential purchasers of 'The Prince of Wales...' should be advised to ignore the 'review' by Nathan Makepeace. One can tell in an instant that Makepeace's florid damnation of the book is made in either jest or abject ignorance. Perhaps when Makepeace's own novel is published - and as a publishing professional myself, I doubt his turgid style would find an audience - perhaps then he will come to understand the harm a mocking review can do to a first-time author.For those yet to read Mallalieu's work - prepare yourself for a fleshy feast of literary originality and dryly sardonic, witty, and intelligent writing. In this age of dumbed-down, easy-to-read pap centred on midddle-class ennui and whingeing - Mallalieu is refreshing to read. I have tried to find out if this talented writer is still 'in the game' - but have had no success. ...As for Nathan Makepeace - well, we're all entitled to our opinions....
