Book Description
The important thing is to position yourself so you go over the car when it hits. If you go under, most likely you get stuck on some sticky-out bit of the engine, dragged along and de-skinned, then kidney-squishingly, eye-poppingly, brain-squeezingly run over by one or more wheels. You go over, at least you’ve got a chance if you land right.
Michael O’Dell is hit by a car. When he doesn’t die, he is surprised and pleased. But from that point, despite the heroic support of his wife Wendy, Michael’s life starts to spin out of control.
Michael O’Dell is hit by a car. When he doesn’t die, he is surprised and pleased. But from that point, despite the heroic support of his wife Wendy, Michael’s life starts to spin out of control.
Daughter Rosie punches out a vindictive schoolmate, plunging the family into a special parent-teacher hell. Son Declan is found with a stash of drugs. A strange policeman starts harrassing the family. Ordinary mishaps take on a sinister desperation. To top it all off, Michael’s professional life starts to disintegrate.
The Full Ridiculous is a hilarious, painful novel about love, family and the precarious business of being a man. In his moving debut, Mark Lamprell exposes the terrible truth: sometimes you can’t pull yourself together until you’ve completely fallen apart.
