mouthwateringly entertaining - with added zest - mike cook - 17/06/2010 22:26:02
you just know when youre having one of those days... lemon is a mystery thriller that takes you on a dark, yet humorous, journey of mishap, misidentity and misunderstanding as mundane and fantastic collide. characterisation and imagery is reminiscent of the works of douglas adams and terry pratchett, as unrelated plot strands merge, overlap and intertwine in ways that readers will find believable, if not actually familiar. engrossing enough to be a read in one hit story. as the tale unfolds, you decide who are the true heroes and villains. (now with added eric!)

Lemon is a classic read from Barnaby Eaton-Jones. The novel is filled with plenty of laughter and drama. Eaton-Jones’s style is so easy to follow. I was glued to the novel and finished it in three or four days. It is beautifully and wonderfully written. The witty dialogues can draw you to the well-developed characters featured in the novel. High drama explodes, but the comedy element I love in novels is in high supply to keep you addicted. The novel kept me entertained albeit very tired as I just could put it down, sleep just wasn’t on the agenda. Barnaby Eaton-Jones is simply a fantastic writer and Lemon shows his strength to charm readers. Thank you for providing a classic read.

Inspector Clouseau and Austin Powers have made a career of it, taking the courage but not the danger out of the narrative, while still giving us all of the excitement and tension. It might even be said that these kinds of creations have more courage and a better connection to the average person as they are more realistic as to how many of us might feel about being involved in such predicaments. Lemon, the first novel by Barnaby Eaton Jones is one example of this sub genre of spy and detective fiction, it weaves and wobbles it's way through a fast paced adventure that is sure to please any fan of fiction of the James Bond variety. It's main protagonist, Spencer Tracy is the perfect bumbling English loveable loser who just so happens to find himself in both the wrong and in some cases the right places at the perfect time to keep the story flowing and give the book a sense of fun and laugh out loud humor seldom seen this side of Douglas Adams. The main characters are smart, clever and although at times a bit cliché, they are supposed to be and it fits. This is one of those rare instances where cliché elements makes the book stronger then it would have been without them. For every pair of burly thugs you have seen in movies, television programmes and books a million t
