tfitoby 's review for:
Codename Villanelle
by Luke Jennings
The basis for the fantastic new TV show Killing Eve. All it has done is reinforce my infatuation with Phoebe Waller-Bridge as an incredibly talented writer (although I find it impossible to disentangle my crush on her Fleabag character from this infatuation) as Luke Jennings really is not much of a fiction writer at all it seems. His prose is clunky and over written, something I find even more disconcerting considering this book is a collection of short stories originally published online - why the need for such word count padding? But i guess this is what we should come to expect from self published ebooks that become popular, there’s a long track record proving that a good editor at a real publishing house is worth their weight in gold and don’t @ me to talk about fluffy nonsense like Andy Weir’s Mars book either. People who routinely read popular garbage from James Patterson will probably love this but i expect anyone with a knowledge of storytelling, sentence structure and an IQ higher than populist morons like Donald Trump to be unimpressed.
