Bloody funny read. Very Australian turns of phrase. The TV series is very close to the books.

El electricista Mick Vincent tenía casi todo lo que siempre había querido tener en la vida. Lo único que le faltaba para ser feliz era un plato de presión del embrague para su Buick Roadmaster de 1936. A través de una extraña anciana, Mick encuentra la codiciada pieza. Y también el diario de Nikola Tesla, un reputado genio de la electricidad con fama de ser más inteligente que el propio Einstein. Pero ¿qué hacía Tesla en la deprimida Nueva Gales del Sur en 1925?

When Robert G. Barrett created Les Norton, he presumably thought that Norton would be considered a likeable character. Norton is not. Indeed, he has few, if any, likeable characteristics.

The first Les Norton book is one of the better in the series; not quite as misogynistic as later entries and the jokes and tropes are still relatively fresh here, although You wouldn't be dead for quids shows its age as a child of 1980s Sydney.

Norton, a rugby league player from country Queensland, comes to the big smoke of Sydney to play for South Sydney, gets punted from said club for punching out an official, and finds himself a gig as a bouncer at an illegal casino in Kings Cross. Here he gets up to all sorts of occasionally humorous shenanigans.… (plus d'informations)
