PILL POP DOM on April 17, 2011

Rich in imagery, the first three chapters of Robert Coles' Pillpopdom take us on a journey into the colourful world of Paul Stumbles. Strong visual descriptions mingle with sharp observation as Paul stumbles his way into a new life in Spain. Robert Coles demonstrates a commendable ability to express feeling and emotions that range from the happiness of: "To hold that slip of paper in my covetous palm was like being touched by an angel." to the drab heaviness of depression: "It felt like the whole world had switched back to black-and-white telly." By adding to the mix good dialogue and idiosyncratic humour, the author has created a memorable character and takes the reader with him as he experiences a new, challenging and funny world. I look forward to reading more.
