Written by Alexei Sayle

Book Synopsis:

A modern fable from Alexei Sayle: darkly funny, wonderfully inventive and full of glorious one-liners. It is both an original coming-of-age story and an unusual take on the cirrupting influence of power.

Reader's Review:

Mister Roberts is an interesting mix of Spanish travelogue and Sci-Fi fiction - I personally found the reactions of the resident Brits to the customs of the Spanish village more entertaining than their reactions to Mister Roberts.   Although I did enjoy the novel I did find the style a little 'jerky', making an easy holiday read.
