The Obituarist on June 06, 2012

Really enjoyable ride! A page turner from the outset! Beautifully insightful characterisation, delivered with a good helping of dry wit and with just the right amount of information for the book to play like a sumptuous film in your head! Paul does justice to our wonderful World War II heroes, capturing perfectly the upstanding nature of their morals, together with their playful, youthful comradery. The Obituarist is a delicious juxtaposition of the pinnacle of our war heroes' lives, perfectly 'twisted' with today's unscrupulous media-crazed society. There are some fabulous observations of human behaviour and thought processes, which are simply sublime and rather thought-provoking in their description. This is not just a well written story which kicks along at a hell of a pace but also a clever multilayered observation of human behaviour, with a backdrop from two eras and what happens with the passing of time. The Obituarist certainly leaves you with something to think about. Yes please, I'm looking forward to my next Paul Waters read!
