Prepare to put everything on hold once you start this hilarious black comedy featuring 'Tomcat' Chippering, a verbose, self-deluding, serial womaniser who sets out to take revenge on his runaway ex-wife and her hairy, sun-tanned tycoon. It's a remarkable romp of a read, savagely funny, yet very touching. In my book Tomcat is destined to become the cult hero of the millennium.
