Advantages: Inventive, ambitious, some fantastic ideas and characters. Disadvantages: Difficult writing style to get into, loses its way badly towards the end.
, and he becomes an ever more alienated, desperate figure, this part of the novel catches up and probably overtakes the tale set on Ham.
Self is undoubtedly a clever writer, with big ideas and substantial ability for storytelling. His characters here are exceptional, for the most part, especially Dave and his co-stars in 21st-century London. He, his estranged wife Michelle, her new partner and Dave?s son, Carl, all share something that makes them sympathetic and pitiful in equal measures ? they all have dreams and aspirations, some grander than others, but each crucial to their respective mental wellbeings; but each one falls short of achieving these goals, and has to deal with the frustrations of failing. Only Dave, of course, deals with it so badly as to make a book out of metal and bury it in his ex-partner?s garden, but then we wouldn ...
Advantages: Full of entertaining shows... Disadvantages: ...full of repeats
Of course, it's the wonderful 'Dave'...the artist formerly known as UKTV G2. Not exactly the most exciting of sounding television channels, so they glamourised it...by called it 'Dave'...because everyone knows a Dave.

Advantages: Thought-provoking, intelligent lyrics, powerful music Disadvantages: Can make for uncomfortable listening
Richie James Edwards, Manic Street Preachers lyricist and guitarist, was last seen leaving the London Embassy Hotel at 7:00am on Weds 1st February 1995. What happened after that is shrouded in mystery and rumour but what is certain is that his genius as a writer will live on in the form of The Holy Bible, the Manics' third and finest album.
A bleakly disturbing vision of Richie's mind, the album makes for uncomfortable listening with subjects covering the full range of man's corruption, evil and sickness and will certainly not be to everyone's taste. "I don't see it as a record", Nicky Wire (bassist and lyricist) would say later "I see it as a state of mind".
