Query: mediocre at best

Some reviewers admired the dry British wit supposedly exhibited in The Gunseller. The actor Laurie should stick to acting and not writing, as this book is both adolescent and confusing. The amateurish plot meanders all over the place and proceeds rather like a old British sports car, bouncing and leaking oil indiscriminately. His blues music album is considerably better than this dog of a book.
