Sleb Summary

Sleb by Andrew Holmes

Here's a top tip for the heavy drinker...Never get drunk and force your way into the home of the country's biggest pop star wielding a gun. It's bound to go off, big time. Christopher Sewell is famous. He used to be an advertising sales executive with a wife, a drink problem and not much more. Now he's serving life for the murder of Felix Carter, who used to be a famous pop star with an acting career, a drink problem and the world at his feet. Only he's dead now. How and why Chris killed Felix is a mystery. Until, that is, he agrees to give a single interview from prison. Just the one interview, mind. You know what these celebrities are like...Tremendously sharp and at times laugh-out-loud, this is a delicious satire about celebrities and their fans, and the way the media attempts both to satisfy and to inflame our obsession with success.

Sleb Reviews

'I think we could finally be looking at Britain's answer to Bret Easton Ellis. And about time too. Holmes has given us not only a first class satire on the cost and price of fame but an unglamourised image of the modern man in the self destructive - but ultimatley likeable - Chris Sewell. Encore please.' Sam Oliver, Fiction Buyer, Waterstone's Newcastle; Chock-full of cultural references. American Psycho for the new century - with laughs - Steve Birt, Assistant Manager, Ottakar's, Gloucester
