Part political satire, part compulsive thriller, The F*ck-it List is John Niven at his coruscating best.
John Niven was born in Irvine, Ayrshire. He is the author of ten novels and has written for a wide range of publications, including a weekly column for the Scottish Sunday Mail. He lives in Buckinghamshire.
Gripping, terrifying and hilarious – John Niven is our Hunter S.
Thompson.
*Adam Kay*
Terrifying and brilliant and gripping and tragic and humane ... it
becomes progressively more tense … This should be mandatory reading
for every U.S. citizen … Such a well-written book, with such vivid
efficient prose, a powerful political plea disguised as a revenge
novel. It’s brilliant.
*Marian Keyes*
Loved it. A ferocious revenge story which also manages to be
sweetly uplifting. A book Donald Trump would call f*cking
nasty.
*Robert Webb*
[The F*ck-it List] took me by surprise – a thriller with humanity
as well as tension.
*Ian Rankin*
Of course, of course, John Niven does it again. It is impossible to
read him without laughing out loud one second, and feeling guiltily
exhilarated the next. His perfectly observed writing has taken us
to many dark places over the years, but this may be the darkest
yet: an America of the very-near future, whose stifling horrors he
conjours all-too-believably. Niven is a writer of wicked humour and
outrageous charm – but he is a profoundly moral writer, too. And
while this is a brilliantly observed revenge story, it’s also a
terrifyingly unsettling satire of a world just around the corner.
Its warnings will stay with me as long as its wit.
*Marina Hyde*
