the bad one that comes across like the writer is a huge asshole?
I think the good one is out in the UK and coming to the US next year, whereas the bad one is already out everywhere.
What were the titles/authors names?

My sister got me Fool The World for my birthday, I'm looking forward to reading it. Apparently, the US version has additional material in it. The cover is different, too!

Wow. So by bad you meant BAD. The whole ficitional story about the girl sounds a little ridiculous. I'll definitely avoid this one. Thanks

Can 'Fool The World' be bought in most bookshops (or music shops)? I've not got it yet and I'm going shopping tomorrow.

Yeah, you should be able to get it at most bookstores. Josh did a booksigning at the Oxford St. Borders a month or so ago.

Went out shopping today and couldn't find 'Fool The World' (to be honest I didn't really look that hard) but I came back with Pistolero, so it wasn't a wasted journey. (It sounds good so far).

No I posted that because I am a fool who can't read properly. As soon as I realised that it was out over here, I ordered it straight away. I know have it, but I haven't read it yet.

I attempted to re-read the 'Gigantic' book after the 'Fool the World' book to see if it was as bad as I remembered.
It was so bad in comparison it actually made me angry.
And now Im gonna sing the Perry Mason theme.... |
