About this listen

 Les Norton, a big red-headed country boy from Queensland, has just arrived in the big smoke and is set to make his mark. Working as a bouncer at an illegal casino in the Cross, Les encounters a number of fascinating characters who make up the seamier side of one of the most exciting cities in the world - gamblers, conmen, bookies, bouncers, hookers and hit men, who ply their respective trades from the golden sands of Bondi to the tainted gutters of Kings Cross... usually on the wrong side of the law.©1985 Robert G. Barrett. (P)2010 Bolinda Publishing Literature & Fiction Funny Witty Comedy

These books were great as a teenager in the 90's. Unfortunately they haven't aged well. Sexism, racism, unnecessary violence, and downright bad writing shine through. I feel for the narrator having to read these out loud.

There are still a few chuckles hidden here and there, but I don't think it was worth cringing through the rest to get to them.

Sorry Bobbie, I used to love these books.

Not sure I should have gone back
