Here's what readers have to say about this book....
A highly orginal and absorbing story. Coming Down is a unique and gripping tale of sex and drugs and.....sky-diving, with a bit of rock and roll for good measure. This is a highly entertaining book as you follow the rise and fall (or possibly fall and fall) of a young man sucked into the violent and destructive world of international drug-dealing. A highly enjoyable, roller-coaster of a read.
Coming Down is a gripping and nail biting read to until the very (unpredictable and unexpected) end. The descriptive writing made every extreme situation relatable forming an unlikely affinity and support for the protagonist despite him being a very questionable character. This book is exciting, anxiety inducing and a unique read. I highly recommend.
The novel combines a fast paced story about an amoral drug dealer with a passion for skydiving and living life to excess with contemplation about the meaning of falling. It is beautifully written, in parts funny, nerve-wracking even shocking but at its heart, it is a deeply intelligent book. I loved it.
A fantastic book, it's exciting, funny but also clever. Story telling at its best. At the centre is the high rolling lifestyle of a drug dealer but his rapidly unfolding story is linked to beautiful and lyrical passages about skydiving and all the ramifications of falling. Wonderful writing. I couldn't put the book down and highly recommend it.
