The Gun Seller

Quote:

Amazon.com Review
British actor and comedian Hugh Laurie's first book is a spot-on spy spoof about hapless ex-soldier Thomas Lang, who is drawn unwittingly and unwillingly into the center of a dangerous James Bond-like plot of international terrorists, arms dealing, high-tech weapons, and CIA spooks. You may recall having seen Laurie in the English television series Jeeves and Wooster; Laurie played Bertie Wooster, the clutzy hero of the P.G. Wodehouse comic novels that originated those characters. The lineage from Wodehouse's Wooster to Laurie's Lang is clear, and, if you like Wodehouse, you'll probably love The Gun Seller.

The Paper Soldier

Hugh's next book will be out on September 27, 2009!!!

I think so. I have a newer edition and it has a blue cover.

I am totally loving it! I do wish he would elaborate more on the sex scenes.

Would definitely be interesting to read

So seriously? He mentions Bruce Springsteen in his book?? Incredible. Hugh really is perfect.

Almost done reading, but I wanna save the last part for my train trip tomorrow.

**Grace Like Rain** · 07-04-2009, 03:55 AM

It's hard to put it down isn't it?

So honesty time....

If Hugh hadn't written this book or if you had no clue as to who Hugh was..would you have ever picked up the book based on it's title?

I wouldn't have....and that makes me sad because it is an awesome book.
