Over the melee, I could hear my own blood roaring in my ears and my breathing thundering and bellowing in my chest. My heart was filled with horror and despair. Cold sweat was running down my body, drenching my shorts and shirt, as I panicked and fought with myself, forcing myself to continue. Tears were streaming down my face, dripping unheeded off my chin, falling onto Paddy’s upturned face, filling his staring, pale eyes. Desperation filled my entire body as I repeated the same moves over and over, my legs and back shaking and quaking with fatigue, unused to the unusual position. All around me, people pushed and shoved, shouting advice at me, screaming at me to keep going. I glimpsed George in the crowd, his phone pressed to his ear, shouting incoherently into it.

I kept shoving down into poor Paddy’s chest, breathing for him. Deep down, I knew there would be no response, but I refused to give up on him, refused to let him go. There was a wild, animal-like roaring scream deafening me, and my ears filled with a thundering, drumming sound, like standing under the Niagara Falls.

Then, I could do no more.

Then after several major adversities befall him, he turned once again to alcohol and violence.

Kate Coombes.

Ok…… I feel incredibly honoured to have been gifted this book to read before its official launch date. The read was not always easy and in fact bought me to tears on several occasions however, I pulled up my big girl pants and read on. Once you read the book you will understand my comment!! Written from the depths of the heart, horrifying and upsetting in equal parts, I could not put this book down, knowing and understanding the book is based on a real life experience makes me appreciate what a wonderful childhood and life I have had. I will be forever grateful to the author for providing me with the chance to experience his life from childhood to his current mindset, a truly magnificent read. I very much hope this will not be your only book, the depths of your writing are truly remarkable.
The Beast from the East.

Brilliant novel - highly recommended! This is a great novel that you don't want to put down. The author draws you into this world with well-written prose, so you feel like you are there with him, living the experience. Yes, a lot of this story covers very difficult subjects, including some horrendous child abuse at the hands of his monstrous father. You'll cry. You'll laugh. You'll be amazed. This is a really good read, and I highly recommend it.
